Abstract: We obtain estimates in the corona theorem for the algebra of analytic functions in the unit disc whose nth derivative is bounded, and its subalgebras defined by the boundary continuity of the nth derivative. The corona theorem for such algebras is trivial and known, but corona theorem with estimates is new and much harder to prove. As an auxiliary result of independent interest we get the continuity of the best estimate in such algebras (including the classical case of the algebra Hinfty of bounded analytic functions). We also show that for a fixed n the best estimate is the same for all algebras we consider.


Let \(H^\infty\) be the uniform algebra of bounded holomorphic functions in the open unit disk \(\mathbb D\) and let \(A(\mathbb D)\) be the disk algebra, that is, the uniform closure of the polynomials in \(\mathbb D\). For an open set \(S\subseteq\mathbb T\), let \(A_S\) be the set of all functions, \(f\), holomorphic in \(\mathbb D\) (denoted by \(H(\mathbb D)\)) such that \(f\) is bounded and extends continuously to \(S\). The authors consider the following algebras of smooth functions: \[ \begin{aligned}\partial^{-n}H^\infty &=\{f\in H(\mathbb D): f, f ',\dots, f^{(n)}\in H^\infty\},\\ \partial A^{-n}&=\{f\in H(\mathbb D): f, f ',\dots, f^{(n)}\in A(\mathbb D)\} \text{as well as the algebras} \partial^{-n}A_S&=\{f\in H(\mathbb D): f, f ',\dots, f^{(n)}\in A_S\}. \end{aligned} \] A short argument is presented that the maximal ideal space of these algebras is \(\overline{\mathbb D}\). The major new result, though, is to solve Bezout equations and its infinite-dimensional siblings with bounds. It reads as follows: Let \(A\) be one of the three algebras above. There exists a constant \(C(\delta, n)\) such that, for any \(f=(f_1,f_2,\dots)\in A(\ell^2)\) satisfying \(0<\delta\leq \boldsymbol| f(z)\boldsymbol|_{\ell^2}\) for all \(z\in \mathbb D\) and \(\|f\|_{A(\ell^2)}\leq 1\), there exists \(g=(g_1,g_2,\dots)\in A(\ell^2)\) so that \[ \text{\((g\cdot f) (z):=\sum_{k=1}^\infty g_k(z)f_k(z)=1\) for all \(z\in \mathbb D\)} \] and \(\|g\|_{A(\ell^2)}\leq C(\delta, n)\). It is also shown that the best constants \[ C(A_n,\delta):=\sup_f \inf\{\|g\|_{A_n(\ell^2)}: g\cdot f=1\} \] (where the supremum is taken over all \(f\in A_n(\ell^2)\) with \(\|f\|_{A_n(\ell^2)}\leq 1\) and \(\boldsymbol| f(z)\boldsymbol|_{\ell^2}\geq \delta>0\)) coincide for \(A_n= \partial^{-n}H^\infty, \partial A^{-n}\) and \( \partial^{-n}A_S\).
