High-power asymptotics of some weighted harmonic Bergman kernels (Q2630795)

This paper studies the asymptotics of the weighted Bergman kernels for harmonic functions. Let \(\Omega\) be a subset of \(\mathbb{R}^d\), fix a function \(\rho(x)\) and consider the space \(L^2(\Omega;\rho^{\alpha})\) of square integrable functions on \(\Omega\) relative to the weight \(\rho(x)^{\alpha}\) with \(\alpha\in\mathbb{R}\). Let \(L^2_{\mathrm{harm}}(\Omega;\rho^{\alpha})\) denote the subspace of harmonic functions in \(L^2(\Omega;\rho^{\alpha})\). There is a kernel \(R_\alpha(x,y)\), the harmonic Bergman kernel, that reproduces the harmonic functions in \(L^2_{\mathrm{harm}}(\Omega;\rho^{\alpha})\). One of the main results of this paper shows that, for a bounded domain \(\Omega\) and \(\rho(x)\) a bounded positive continuous function in \(\Omega\) such that \(\log \frac{1}{\rho}\) is convex, \[ \lim_{\alpha\to \infty} R_{\alpha}(x,x)^{\frac{1}{\alpha}}=\frac{1}{\rho(x)}. \] The special case when \(\Omega\) is the unit ball or when the upper half space, additional results are obtained when explicit information is assumed about the function \(\rho\).
