Bicomplex linear operators on bicomplex Hilbert spaces and Littlewood's subordination theorem (Q497160)

After summarizing basic properties of bicomplex numbers \(\mathbb{B}\mathbb{C}\), bicomplex linear operators, and bicomplex holomorphic functions, a characterization is obtained for normal and unitary operators on bicomplex Hilbert spaces and a parallelogram law is developed for bicomplex inner-product spaces. Bicomplex quotient modules, annihilators, and related duals are developed. Using positive hyperbolic numbers \(\beta(n)\}^\infty_{n=0}\) as weights, a weighted sequence space \(\ell^2_\beta\) of bicomplex numbers and a bicomplex weighted Hardy space \(H^2_\beta(\mathbb{U}_{\mathbb{B}\mathbb{C}})\) on the unit discus \(\mathbb{U}_{\mathbb{B}\mathbb{C}}\) in the bicomplex numbers are derived analogous to such spaces in the classical setting. Introducing composition operators on \(H^2(\mathbb{U}_{\mathbb{B}\mathbb{C}})\), a bicomplex Littlewood subordination principle is proved. The paper is easy reading and proceeds in a natural (unsurprising) way throughout.
