Pick matricies and quaternionic power series

Abstract: It is well known that a non-constant complex-valued function

f

defined on the open unit disk

m a t h b b D

is an analytic self-mapping of

D

if and only if Pick matrices

l e f t [(1 - f (z_{i}) o v e r l i n e f (z_{j})) / (1 - z_{i} o v e r l i n e z_{j}) i g h t]_{i, j = 1}^{n}

are positive semidefinite for all choices of finitely many points

z_{i} i n D

. A stronger version of the "if" part was established by Alan Hindmarsh: if all

3 i m e s 3

Pick matrices are positive semidefinite, then

f

is an analytic self-mapping of

m a t h b b D

. In this paper, we extend this result to the non-commutative setting of power series over quaternions.
