Abstract:We consider the classical problem of maximizing the derivative at a fixed point over the set of all bounded analytic functions in the unit disk with prescribed critical points. We show that the extremal function is essentially unique and always an indestructible Blaschke product. This result extends the Nehari-Schwarz Lemma and leads to a new class of Blaschke products called maximal Blaschke products. We establish a number of properties of maximal Blaschke products, which indicate that maximal Blaschke produc… Show more

A celebrated theorem of M. Heins says that up to post-composition with a Möbius transformation, a finite Blaschke product is uniquely determined by its critical points. K. Dyakonov suggested that it may interesting to extend this result to infinite degree, however, one needs to be careful since inner functions may have identical critical sets. In this work, we try parametrizing inner functions by 1-generated invariant subspaces of the weighted Bergman space A 2 1 . Our technique is based on the Liouville correspondence which provides a bridge between complex analysis and non-linear elliptic PDE.

We prove that the composition of two indestructible Blaschke products is again an indestructible Blaschke product. We also show that if an indestructible Blaschke product is the composition of two bounded analytic functions, then both functions are indestructible Blaschke products.

Abstract. In this survey paper we discuss the problem of characterizing the critical sets of bounded analytic functions in the unit disk of the complex plane. This problem is closely related to the Berger-Nirenberg problem in differential geometry as well as to the problem of describing the zero sets of functions in Bergman spaces. It turns out that for any non-constant bounded analytic function in the unit disk there is always a (essentially) unique "maximal" Blaschke product with the same critical points. These maximal Blaschke products have remarkable properties simliar to those of Bergman space inner functions and they provide a natural generalization of the class of finite Blaschke products.
