  • Corona Problem
    数理解析研究所講究録 1487 巻 2006 年 13-26 13 Geometry of Banach Spaces Predual to $H^{\infty}$ and Corona Problem Alexander Brudnyi* Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Calgary, Calgary Canada Abstract In this paper we present a new general approach to the multi-dimensional corona problem for the ball and polydisk. We also describe some properties of the Banach spaces predual to the spaces $H^{\infty}$ defined on these domains. 1. Corona Problem 1.1. In the present paper we discuss one of the fundamental problems in the theory of uniform algebras known as the corona problem. Such a problem was originally raised by S. Kakutani in 1941 and asked whether the open unit disk $\mathrm{D}\subset \mathbb{C}$ is dense in the maximal ideal space of the algebra $H^{\infty}(\mathrm{D})$ of bounded holomorphic functions on $\mathrm{D}$ with the supremum norm. This problem was answered affirmatively by L. Carleson in 1962 [C1]. Let us recall that for a uniform algebra $A$ of continuous functions defined on a Hausdorff topological space $X$ , the maximal ideal space $\mathcal{M}(A)$ is the set of all nonzero homomorphisms $Aarrow \mathbb{C}$ equipped with the weak*-topology of the dual space $A^{*}$ , known as the Gelfand topology. Then $\mathcal{M}(A)$ is a compact Hausdorff space. Any function $f\in A$ can be considered as a function on $\mathcal{M}(A)$ by means of the Celfand transform: $\hat{f}(m):=m(f)$ , $m\in \mathcal{M}(A)$ . If $A$ separates points on $X$ , then $X$ is naturally embedded into $\mathcal{M}(A),$ $xrightarrow\delta_{x}$ , $\delta_{x}$ $X$ $x\in X$ , where is the evaluation functional at $x$ .

We prove an alternate Toeplitz corona theorem for the algebras of pointwise kernel multipliers of Besov-Sobolev spaces on the unit ball in Cn, and for the algebra of bounded analytic functions on certain strictly pseudoconvex domains and polydiscs in higher dimensions as well. This alternate Toeplitz corona theorem extends to more general Hilbert function spaces where it does not require the complete Pick property. Instead, the kernel functions kx (y) of certain Hilbert function spaces H are assumed to be invertible multipliers on H, and then we continue a research thread begun by Agler and McCarthy in 1999, and continued by Amar in 2003, and most recently by Trent and Wick in 2009.

  • Abstracts of Expository Lectures
    (A) Independence and L´evyprocesses in quantum prob- ability Uwe Franz, University of Franche-Comte, Besanon, France. Abstract: Quantum probability describes the probabilistic foundations of quantum physics. Many concepts from classical probability have their counterpart in quantum probability. In these lectures we will study the notions of independence and independent increment pro- cesses. One surprising feature of quantum probability is the existence of several different notions of (stochastic) independence, as, e.g., tensor independence (which generalizes the notion of stochastic independence in classical probability), freeness, Boolean independence, or monotone independence. These lectures will give an introduction to the most common notions of independence and their basic theory, including the description of their convolu- tions and infinitely divisible measures. Then we will study the axiomatic approach due to Speicher, Ben Ghorbal, Sch¨urmann,and Muraki, and the classification of the five universal notions of independence. Finally, we will study the relations between these notions and the theory of independent increment processes.

  • The Corona Problem with Two Pieces of Data
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 138, Number 10, October 2010, Pages 3651–3655 S 0002-9939(10)10462-6 Article electronically published on May 10, 2010 THE CORONA PROBLEM WITH TWO PIECES OF DATA STEVEN G. KRANTZ (Communicated by Mei-Chi Shaw) Abstract. We study the corona problem on the unit ball in Cn,andmore generally on strongly pseudoconvex domains in Cn. When the corona problem has just two pieces of data, and an extra geometric hypothesis is satisfied, then we are able to solve it. 0. Introduction Banach algebras were created in the thesis of I. M. Gelfand in 1938. Some of the key ideas in the subject are recorded in [9] and [10]. In 1942, S. Kakutani formulated the following fundamental question (known as the corona problem)in the subject: Suppose that f1,...,fk are bounded, holomorphic functions on the unit disc D with the property that |f1(ζ)| + |f2(ζ)| + ···+ |fk(ζ)| >δ>0 for some positive constant δ and all ζ ∈ D.[Wecallf1,...,fk aset of corona data on the disc.] Do there exist bounded, holomorphic gj , j =1,...,k,onD such that f1(ζ) · g1(ζ)+f2(ζ) · g2(ζ)+···+ fk(ζ) · gk(ζ) ≡ 1 for all ζ ∈ D? It turns out that this question is equivalent to asking whether the point evalu- ation functionals are weak-∗ dense in the space of multiplicative linear functionals on the Banach algebra H∞(D). This equivalence is explained in some detail in [14]. An authoritative treatment of the corona problem on the disc appears in [7].

  • Lower Bounds in the Matrix Corona Theorem and the Codimension One Conjecture
    LOWER BOUNDS IN THE MATRIX CORONA THEOREM AND THE CODIMENSION ONE CONJECTURE. SERGEI TREIL Abstract. Main result of this paper is the following theorem: given δ, 0 <δ<1/3 and n ∈ N there exists an (n +1)× n inner matrix function ∈ ∞ F H(n+1)×n such that ∗ I ≥ F (z)F (z) ≥ δ2I ∀z ∈ D, but the norm of any left inverse for F is at least [δ/(1 − δ)]−n ≥ 3 −n ( 2 δ) . This gives a lower boundfor the solution of the Matrix Corona Problem, which is pretty close to the best known upper bound C · δ−n−1 log δ−2n obtainedrecently by T. Trent [16]. In particular, both estimates grow exponentially in n; the (only) previously known lower bound Cδ−2 log(δ2n + 1) (obtainedby the author [13]) grew logarith- mically in n. Also, the lower boundis obtainedfor ( n +1)× n matri- ces, thus giving the negative answer to the so-called“codimensionone conjecture.” Another important result is Theorem 2.4 connecting left invertiblity in H∞ andco-analytic orthogonal complements.

  • On the Spectra of Algebras of Analytic Functions
    On the spectra of algebras of analytic functions Daniel Carando, Domingo Garc´ıa,Manuel Maestre, and Pablo Sevilla-Peris Abstract. In this paper we survey the most relevant recent developments on the research of the spectra of algebras of analytic functions. We concen- trate mainly in three algebras, the Banach algebra H1(B) of all bounded holomorphic functions on the unit ball B of a complex Banach space X, the Banach algebra of the ball Au(B), and the Fr´echet algebra Hb(X) of all entire functions bounded on bounded sets. 1. Introduction Complex analysis permeates almost any aspect of mathematics since the early nineteenth century when it was first developed by Cauchy. But it appears that, around 1955, S. Kakutani was the first one to study the space H1(D) of all bounded holomorphic functions on D, the open unit disk of the complex plane, as a Banach algebra. In the immediately following years a group of mathematicians (Singer, Wermer, Kakutani, Buck, Royden, Gleason, Arens and Hoffman) under a joint pseudonym (I. J. Schark [62]) and in individual papers used this functional analytic point of view to develop the study of many aspects of the theory. If we consider the space H1(D) as a Banach algebra, a key element is to describe the spectrum M(H1(D)), i.e. the set of all multiplicative linear functionals on H1(D) which is a compact set when endowed with the weak-star topology. The biggest milestone of this early period is the Corona Theorem, given by Newman (in a weak form) and Carleson [26] in 1962, that states that the evaluations at points of D form a dense subset of the spectrum of H1(D).
