Universally starlike and Pick functions

Publication date 10 February 2021

Abstract: Denote by

m a t h c a l P_{l o g}

the set of all non-constant Pick functions

f

whose logarithmic derivatives

f^{, p r i m e} / f

also belong to the Pick class. Let

m a t h c a l U (L a m b d a)

be the family of functions

z c d o t f (z)

, where

f i n m a t h c a l P_{l o g}

and

f

is holomorphic on

L a m b d a := m a t h b b C s e t m i n u s [1, + i n f t y)

. Important examples of functions in

m a t h c a l U (L a m b d a)

are the classical polylogarithms

L i_{a} l p h a (z)

:=

s u m_{k = 1}^{i n f t y} z^{k} / k^{a} l p h a

for

a l p h a g e q 0

. In this paper we prove that every

v a r p h i i n m a t h c a l U (L a m b d a)

is universally starlike, i.e.,

v a r p h i

maps every circular domain in

L a m b d a

containing the origin one-to-one onto a starlike domain. Furthermore, we show that every non-constant function

f i n m a t h c a l P_{l o g}

belongs to the Hardy space

H_{p}

on the upper half-plane for some constant

p = p (f) > 1

, unless

f

is proportional to some function

(a - z)^{- h e t a}

with

a i n m a t h b b R

and

0 < h e t a l e q 1

. Finally we derive a necessary and sufficient condition on a real-valued function

v

for which there exists

f i n m a t h c a l P_{l o g}

such that

v (x) = l i m_{v a r e p s i l o n o 0} m a t h r m I m f (x + i v a r e p s i l o n)

for almost all

x i n m a t h b b R

.
