Interpolation and inner maps that preserve measure (Q788153)

It is shown, for \(n\geq m\geq 1\), that there exist inner maps \(\Phi:B^ n\to B^ m\) with boundary values \(\Phi_*:\partial B^ n\to \partial B^ m\) such that \(\sigma_ m(A)=\sigma_ n(\Phi_*^{-1}(A)),\) where \(\sigma_ n\) and \(\sigma_ m\) are the Haar measures on \(\partial B^ n\) and \(\partial B^ m\) respectively, and \(A\subset \partial B^ n\) is an arbitrary Borel set. An interpolation theorem is proved. As a corollary it is deduced the existence of inner maps such that \(\Phi(z)=F(z)\) for \(z\in B^ m\subset B^ n\), where \(F:B^ m\to B^ n\) is any holomorphic map. These theorems strengthen recent results of \textit{A. B. Aleksandrov} [Math. USSR, Sb. 46, 143-159 (1983), translation from Mat. Sb., Nov. Ser. 118(160), 147-163 (1982; Zbl 0503.32001)].
