Landau-Toeplitz theorems for slice regular functions over quaternions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The theory of slice regular functions of a quaternionic variable extends the notion of holomorphic function to the quaternionic setting. This theory, already rich of results, is sometimes surprisingly different from the theory of holomorphic functions of a complex variable. However, several fundamental results in the two environments are similar, even if their proofs for the case of quaternions need new technical tools. In this paper we prove the Landau-Toeplitz Theorem for slice regular functions, in a formulation that involves an appropriate notion of regular 2-diameter. We then show that the Landau-Toeplitz inequalities hold in the case of the regular n-diameter, for all ngeq2. Finally, a 3-diameter version of the Landau-Toeplitz Theorem is proved using the notion of slice 3-diameter.


The authors give a generalization of the Schwarz lemma for slice regular functions and prove the corresponding Landau-Toeplitz theorem from 1907. These results base on former works by the authors, Della Rocchetta, D.C. Struppa as well as I. Sabadini and F. Colombo. The notion of a regular \(n\)-diameter is defined. Important Landau-Toeplitz inequalities can be shown for general \(n\geq 2\). The authors prove a complete generalization of the Landau-Toeplitz theorem for \(n=3\). A generalization to monogenic quaternions in Fueter's sense is still open.
