Review text

Let \(z_i\) be distinct points in \({\mathbb D}\) and \(w_i\in{\mathbb C}\) (\(i=1,\dots,n\)). The classical Nevanlinna-Pick problem \(f(z_i)=w_i\) (\(i=1,\dots,n\)) has a solution \(f\) in the unit ball of \(H^\infty\) if and only if the matrix \(\left[\frac{1-w_i\bar w_j}{1-z_i\bar z_j}\right]\) is nonnegative. In the present paper, a more general interpolation problem of Nevanlinna-Pick type is considered. Let \(H\) be a reproducing kernel Hilbert space of functions on \(X\) with the kernel \(k_\omega(\lambda)\), and let \({\mathfrak A}\) be a dual algebra of multipliers on \(H\). The authors find conditions which ensure that the solvability of the Nevanlinna-Pick problem \(f(z_i)=w_i\) (\(i=1,\dots,n\)) in the unit ball of \({\mathfrak A}\) is equivalent to the nonnegativity of the matrix \(\left[(1-w_i\bar w_j)P_Lk_{z_j},k_{z_i}\right]\) for all cyclic subspaces \(L={\mathfrak A}[h]\), generated by vectors \(h\in{\mathfrak A}\), which do not vanish on \(E=\{z_1,\dots, z_n\}\). Applications to various function spaces are given, including Hardy and Bergman spaces. The multiplier algebra of a complete Nevanlinna-Pick space (see \textit{J. Agler} and \textit{J. E. McCarthy}, ``Complete Nevanlinna-Pick kernels, J. Funct. Anal. 175, No.~1, 111--124 (2000; Zbl 0957.47013)]) is shown to satisfy the assumptions of the main theorem. In particular, an application of the main result to the multiplier algebra of Drury-Arveson space is given. Matrix versions of these results are also discussed.
