From H^ to N. Pointwise properties and algebraic structure in the Nevanlinna class

Spaces of bounded analytic functions of one complex variable (30H05) Nevanlinna spaces and Smirnov spaces (30H15) Corona theorems (30H80) Blaschke products (30J10)

Abstract: This survey shows how, for the Nevanlinna class N of the unit disc, one can define and often characterize the analogues of well-known objects and properties related to the algebra of bounded analytic functions

H^{i} n f t y

: interpolating sequences, Corona theorem, sets of determination, stable rank, as well as the more recent notions of Weak Embedding Property and threshold of invertibility for quotient algebras. The general rule we observe is that a given result for

H^{i} n f t y

can be transposed to N by replacing uniform bounds by a suitable control by positive harmonic functions. We show several instances where this rule applies, as well as some exceptions. We also briefly discuss the situation for the related Smirnov class.

Review text

This interesting survey is concerned with properties of the Nevanlinna class of holomorphic functions versus the class \(H^\infty(\mathbb D)\) of bounded holomorphic functions in the unit disk. Formally defined as \[N=\Big\{f\in H(\mathbb D): \sup_{ 0 < r < 1} \int_0^{2\pi} \log^+|f(re^{it})|dt<\infty\Big\},\] it coincides with quotients \(f/g\) of bounded holomorphic functions, where \(g\) is zero-free. Considered are interpolating sequences, sets of determination, ideal theoretic questions (Corona theorem and finitely generated ideals), invertibility in quotient algebras. Many of the classical results for \(H^\infty\) have their analogues in \(N\): the role of uniform bounds is now played by a specific growth control via positive harmonic functions. These were mainly developed by the authors in cooperation with A. Hartmann and A. Nicolau. There are also several differences which are recapped by the authors: for instance if \(b\) is a Blaschke product, then the corona theorem holds in the quotient space \(N/bN\) if and only if \(b\) is a finite product of Blaschke products whose zeros are interpolating for \(N\). This dramatically contrasts the situation for quotient algebras \(H^\infty/bH^\infty\), the theory of which was developed by \textit{P. Gorkin} et al. [J. Funct. Anal. 255, No. 4, 854--876 (2008; Zbl 1161.46028)].
