Composition and decomposition of indestructible Blaschke products (Q380721)

A Blaschke product \(B\) is called indestructible when \(T\circ B\) is a Blaschke product for every conformal automorphism \(T\) of the unit disk. For various properties and the importance of indestructible Blaschke products, see the survey of \textit{W. T. Ross} [Contemp. Math. 454, 119--134 (2008; Zbl 1156.30025)]. In the present article, the authors show that the set of indestructible Blaschke products forms a semigroup: The composition of two indestructible Blaschke products is an indestructible Blaschke product. They also prove an inverse statement: If \(B\) and \(C\) are non-constant, bounded holomorphic functions such that \(B\circ C\) is an indestructible Blaschke product, then both \(B\) and \(C\) are indestructible Blaschke products.
