Abstract: The polynomial cluster value problem replaces the role of the continuous linear functionals in the original cluster value problem for the continuous polynomials to describe the corresponding cluster sets and fibers. We prove several polynomial cluster value theorems for uniform algebras

H (B)

between

A_{u} (B)

and

H^{i n f t y} (B)

, where

B

is the open unit ball of a complex Banach space

X

. We also obtain new results about the original cluster value problem, especially for

A_{i n f t y} (B)

. Examples of spaces

X

considered here are spaces of continuous functions,

e l l_{1}

and locally uniformly convex spaces.

Review text

This paper continues work on a weaker form of the corona theorem along the lines of \textit{I. J. Schark} [J. Math. Mech. 10, 735--746 (1961; Zbl 0139.30402)]. It is partly motivated by work of \textit{R. M. Aron} et al. [Math. Ann. 353, No. 2, 293--303 (2012; Zbl 1254.46057)] and more recent research of the first author with \textit{W. B. Johnson} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 143, No. 4, 1559--1568 (2015; Zbl 1314.32011)]. For a complex Banach space \(X\) with open unit ball \(B,\) let \(H(B)\) denote any unital subalgebra of \(H^\infty(B)\) containing \(X^\ast\). (Since \(H^\infty(B)\) is very large and unmanageable, typical choices of \(H(B)\) include the much smaller algebras \(A(B)\), the subalgebra generated by the constant functions and \(X^\ast\), and \(A_u(B),\) the subalgebra consisting of uniformly continuous holomorphic functions on \(B\).) \(M_{H(B)}\) denotes the set of multiplicative linear functionals on \(H(B)\). For a fixed \(f \in H(B)\), it is well known and standard that there is a canonical extension \(\tilde{f}\) to \(B^{\ast\ast}\). Given \(x_0^{\ast\ast} \in B^{\ast\ast}\), the polynomial cluster set of \(f\) at \(x_0^{\ast\ast}\) is defined as the set of accumulation points of \(f(x)\) as \(x \in B\) tends to \(x_0^{\ast\ast}\) in the polynomial star topology. In other words, the polynomial cluster set of \(f\) is the set \(Cl^{\mathcal P}_B(f,x_0^{\ast\ast} ) := \) \[ \{\lambda \in \mathbb C \mid \exists (x_\alpha) \subset B \text{ such that } P(x_\alpha) \to \tilde{P}(x_0^{\ast\ast})\; \text{ for all polynomials } P, \text{ and } f(x_\alpha) \to \lambda\}. \] Assuming that \(A_u(B) \subset H(B)\), let \(\pi^\mathcal{P}\) denote the restriction mapping \(M_{H(B)} \to M_{A_u(B)}\) and, for \(x_0^{\ast\ast} \in \overline{B^{\ast\ast}},\) the polynomial fiber of \(M_{H(B)}\) at \(x_0^{\ast\ast}\) be the set \[ M^{\mathcal P}_{x_0^{\ast\ast}}(H(B)) := {(\pi^{\mathcal{P}})^{-1}}(\delta_{x_0^{\ast\ast}}). \] This paper deals with the polynomial cluster set problem, viz., the question of whether \[ CL^{\mathcal P}_B(f,x_0^{\ast\ast}) = \hat{f}(M^{\mathcal P}_{x_0^{\ast\ast}}(H(B)))\text{ for all } f \in H(B). \] Equivalent conditions for this problem are given and the problem is discussed for \(X\) being a \(C(K)\) space.
