Closed ideals in analytic weighted Lipschitz algebras (Q952406)

Let \(\mathbb D\) be the unit disc in the complex plane, \(\mathbb T\) its boundary, and \(\mathcal A(\mathbb D)\) he the disc algebra. It is well-known that closed ideals of \(\mathcal A(\mathbb D)\) are standard, i.e., if \(\mathcal I\) is a closed ideal in the disc algebra, then there is an inner function \(U_{\mathcal I}\) (the greatest common divisor of the inner parts of the nonzero functions in \(\mathcal I\)) such that \[ \mathcal I=\{f\in\mathcal A(\mathbb D):\,f\mid_{E({\mathcal I})}\equiv 0, \;\text{and} \;f/U_{\mathcal I}\in{\mathcal H}^\infty({\mathbb D})\}, \] where \(E({\mathcal I})=\{\zeta\in{\mathbb T}:\, f(\zeta)=0 \;\forall f\in{\mathcal I}\}\). The author obtains a corresponding result for a class of analytic weighted Lipschitz algebras. The weighted Lipschitz algebra \(\Lambda_\omega({\mathbb D})\) consist of all functions functions \(f\in \mathcal A(\mathbb D)\) for which \[ {{| f(z)-f(w)|}\over{\omega(| z-w|)}}=o(1)\quad\text{as} \;| z-w|\rightarrow 0, \] where \(\omega\) is a modulus of continuity, i.e., a nondecreasing continuous real-valued function on \([0,2]\) with \(\omega(0)=0\) and \(\omega(t)/t\) nonincreasing such that \(\lim\limits_{t\to 0}\omega(t)/t=\infty\). The main result of the paper is the following theorem: Let the modulus of continuity \(\omega\) satisfy the following condition: for all \(1\leqslant \rho\leqslant 2\), there is \(\eta_\rho>0\) such that \(\omega(t^\rho)\geqslant\eta_\rho\omega^\rho(t)\) \((0\leqslant t\leqslant 2)\). Then every closed ideal of the algebra \(\Lambda_\omega({\mathbb D})\) is standard.
