Interpolation by functions in the Bloch space (Q2565881)

The Bloch space \(\mathcal B\) consists of the analytic functions \(f\) in the unit disk \(\mathbb D\) of the complex plane for which \(\sup_{z\in\mathbb D}(1-| z| ^{2})| f'(z)| <\infty\). Let \(\beta(z,w)\) denote the hyperbolic distance between \(z\), \(w\in\mathbb D\), that is, \[ {\displaystyle\beta(z,w)=\log_2\frac{1+| \frac{w-z}{1-\bar{ z}w}| ^{2}}{1-| \frac{w-z}{1-\bar{z}w}| ^{2}}}. \] A~sequence of points \(\{z_n\}\) in \(\mathbb D\) is called an interpolating sequence for the Bloch space if for any sequence of complex numbers \(\{w_n\}\) for which there exists a constant \(C>0\) such that \(| w_n-w_m| \leq C\beta(z_n,z_m)\), \(n\), \(m=1\), \(2\), \dots, one can find a function \(f\in\mathcal B\) with \(f(z_n)=w_n\), \(n=1, 2, \dots\). A sequence of points \(\{z_n\}\) in \(\mathbb D\) is called separated if there exists a constant \(\delta>0\) such that \(\beta(z_n,z_m)\geq\delta\) for \(n\neq m\). The main result of the paper under review is the following theorem: A~sequence of points \(\{z_n\}\) in the unit disc \(\mathbb D\) is interpolating for the Bloch space \(\mathcal B\) if and only if the following two conditions hold: (a) \(\{z_n\}\) is the union of two separated sequences. (b) There exist constants \(M>0\) and \(0<\alpha<1\) such that for any point \(z\in\mathbb{D}\) and any \(n=1, 2, \dots\), one has \[ \#\{z_k:\beta(z_k,z)\leq n\}\leq M2^{\alpha n}. \] Also some related problems, like sampling sequences and a different interpolation problem, are considered.
