Abstract: We introduce a multivariate Markov transform which generalizes the well-known one-dimensional Stieltjes transform from the Moment problem and Spectral theory. Our main result states that two measures {mu} and { u} with bounded support contained in the zero set of a polynomial P(x) are equal if they coincide on the subspace of all polynomials of polyharmonic degree N_{P} where the natural number N_{P} is explictly computed by the properties of the polynomial P(x). The method of proof depends on a definition of a multivariate Markov transform which another major objective of the present paper. The classical notion of orthogonal polynomial of second kind is generalized to the multivariate setting: it is a polyharmonic function which has similar features as in the one-dimensional case.

Review text

The authors address the following question: Let \(u\) and \(\nu\) be signed measures with compact support. Suppose that there exists a polynomial \(p(x)\) such that the supports of \(u\) and \(\nu\) are contained in the zero set of \(p\). Under which conditions do \(u\) and \(\nu\) coincide? The method depends on a definition of a multivariate Markov transform which is another major objective of this paper. The classical notion of an orthogonal polynomial of the second kind is generalized to the multivariate setting. It is shown to be a polyharmonic function which has similar features to those in the one dimensional case.
