On this web­site I want to bring to­gether a va­ri­ety of my re­sults. I in­tro­duced the no­tion of nor­mal func­tion of sev­eral com­plex vari­ables in the ar­ti­cles pub­lished in 1981. Ac­cord­ing to Pro­fes­sor Gavrilov V. I.​ (PDF) those ar­ti­cles should be con­sid­ered as the be­gin­ning of the the­ory of nor­mal func­tions of sev­eral com­plex vari­ables ‐ AMS Sub­ject Classification 32A18.

Mar­ty’s cri­te­rion in $\mathbf{C}^{n}$ is one of the main com­po­nents to all proofs. Ap­pli­ca­tions of Mar­ty’s cri­te­rion al­lowed me to gen­er­al­ize some of the clas­si­cal the­o­rems to the case of sev­eral com­plex vari­ables, in­clud­ing Zal­cman’s lemma.

Book “Nor­mal Fam­i­lies and Nor­mal Func­tions”

by Pe­ter V.​ Dovbush (Au­thor), Steven G.​ Krantz (Au­thor)
Book will be re­leased on Feb­ru­ary 29, 2024 (Pre‐or­der now)

This book cen­ters on nor­mal fam­i­lies of holo­mor­phic and mero­mor­phic func­tions and also nor­mal func­tions. The au­thors treat one com­plex vari­able, sev­eral com­plex vari­ables, and infinitely many com­plex vari­ables (i.e., Hilbert space).

The the­ory of nor­mal fam­i­lies is more than 100 years old. It has played a sem­i­nal role in the func­tion the­ory of com­plex vari­ables. It was used in the first rig­or­ous proof of the Rie­mann map­ping the­o­rem. It is used to study au­to­mor­phism groups of do­mains, geo­met­ric analy­sis, and par­tial differ­en­tial equa­tions.

The the­ory of nor­mal fam­i­lies led to the idea, in 1957, of nor­mal func­tions as de­vel­oped by Lehto and Vir­ta­nen. This is the nat­ural class of func­tions for treat­ing the Lin­de­lof prin­ci­ple. The lat­ter is a key idea in the bound­ary be­hav­ior of holo­mor­phic func­tions.

This book treats nor­mal fam­i­lies, nor­mal func­tions, the Lin­de­lof prin­ci­ple, and other re­lated ideas. Both the an­a­lytic and the geo­met­ric ap­proaches to the sub­ject area are offered. The au­thors in­clude many in­ci­sive ex­am­ples.

The book could be used as the text for a grad­u­ate re­search sem­i­nar. It would also be use­ful read­ing for es­tab­lished re­searchers and for bud­ding com­plex an­a­lysts.

In one‐di­men­sional case there are many cri­te­ria known for a mero­mor­phic func­tion to be nor­mal, and the Lo­hwa­ter and Pom­merenke add a very valu­able cri­te­rion to this list: a non­con­stant func­tion $f$ mero­mor­phic in unit disc $U\subset \mathbf{C}$ is nor­mal if and only if there do not ex­ist se­quences $\{z_{n}\}$ and $\{\rho_{n}\}$ with $z_{n}\in U$, $\rho_{n}>0$, $\rho_{n}\to 0$, such that $$\lim_{n\to \infty}f(z_{n}+\rho_{n}t)=g(t)$$ lo­cally uni­formly in $\mathbf{C}$, where $g(t)$ is a non­con­stant mero­mor­phic func­tion in $\mathbf{C}$.

The Lin­delöf prin­ci­ple in $\mathbf{C}^{n}$

Cen­tral Eu­ro­pean Jour­nal of Math­e­mat­ics, 11, 1763–1773, (2013) DOI

Re­view by Steven George Krantz (MR3080235):

The clas­si­cal Lin­delöf prin­ci­ple on the unit disc in the com­plex plane says that a bounded holo­mor­phic func­tion with ra­dial bound­ary limit at a bound­ary point $p$ also has non­tan­gen­tial bound­ary limit at $p$.

In this pa­per, Dovbush ex­plores gen­er­al­iza­tions of this re­sult in both one and sev­eral com­plex vari­ables. He ob­tains par­tic­u­larly sharp re­sults on the poly­disc.

The Lin­delöf prin­ci­ple for holo­mor­phic func­tions of infinitely many vari­ables

Com­plex Var. El­lip­tic Equ. 56, 2011 ‐ Is­sue 1‐4: Ded­i­cated to Pro­fes­sor Chung‐Chun Yang, 315‐323, (2011) DOI

Let $D$ be a con­vex bounded do­main in a com­plex Ba­nach space. A holo­mor­phic func­tion $f \colon D \rightarrow \mathbf{C}$ is called a nor­mal func­tion if the fam­ily $\mathcal{F}_{f}= \{f \circ \varphi : \varphi \in \mathcal{O}(\Delta, D)\}$ forms a nor­mal fam­ily in the sense of Mon­tel (here $\mathcal{O}(\Delta, D)$ de­notes the set of all holo­mor­phic maps from the com­plex unit disc into $D$). Let $\{x_{n}\}$ be a se­quence of points in $D$ which tends to a bound­ary point $\xi \in \partial D$, such that $\lim_{n\to \infty}f(x_{n}) = l$ for some $l\in \overline{\mathcal{C}}$. The sufficient con­di­tions on a se­quence $\{x_{n}\}$ of points in $D$ and a nor­mal holo­mor­phic func­tion $f$ are given for $f$ to have the ad­mis­si­ble limit value $l$, thus ex­tend­ing the re­sult ob­tained by Bagemihl and Sei­del. This re­sult is used to draw a new Lin­delöf prin­ci­ple in the holo­mor­phic func­tion the­ory of infinite many vari­ables. The re­sults in this ar­ti­cle are im­prove­ments of ear­lier re­sults of Čirka, Dovbush, Cima and Krantz.

On the Lin­delöf‐Gehring‐Lo­hwa­ter the­o­rem

Com­plex Var. El­lip­tic Equ. 56(5), 417‐421, (2011) DOI

In $\mathbf{C}^{n}$ we give an ex­ten­sion of the Lin­delöf‐Gehring–Lo­hwa­ter the­o­rem in­volv­ing two paths. A clas­si­cal the­o­rem of Lin­delöf as­serts that if $f$ is a func­tion an­a­lytic and bounded in the unit disc $U$ which has the as­ymp­totic value $L$ at a point $\xi\in \partial U$ then it has the an­gu­lar limit $L$ at $\xi$. Later Lehto and Vir­ta­nen proved that a nor­mal func­tion $f$ has at most one as­ymp­totic value at any given point $\xi\in \partial U$. Sub­se­quently, the hy­poth­e­sis of the ex­is­tence of an as­ymp­totic value has been weak­end by Gehring and Lo­hwa­ter. In this pa­per we ex­tend their re­sults to the higher di­men­sional case.

The pur­pose of the pre­sent ar­ti­cle is to give the ver­sion of the Lin­delöf prin­ci­ple which is valid in bounded do­mains in with $C^{2}$‐smooth bound­ary.

​ On nor­mal and non‐nor­mal holo­mor­phic func­tions on com­plex Ba­nach man­i­folds

Ann. Scuola Norm. Sup. Pisa Cl. Sci (5) Vol. VIII, 2009, pp.1‐15. DOI

Let $X$ be a com­plex Ba­nach man­i­fold. A holo­mor­phic func­tion $f \colon X \to \mathbf{C}$ is called a nor­mal func­tion if the fam­ily $\mathcal{F}_{f}:= \{ f \circ \varphi : \varphi \in \mathcal{O}(\Delta, X)\}$ forms a nor­mal fam­ily in the sense of Mon­tel (here $\mathcal{O}(\Delta, X)$ de­notes the set of all holo­mor­phic maps from the com­plex unit disc into $X$). Char­ac­ter­i­za­tions of nor­mal func­tions are pre­sented. A sufficient con­di­tion for the sum of a nor­mal func­tion and non‐nor­mal func­tion to be non‐nor­mal is given. Cri­te­ria for a holo­mor­phic func­tion to be non‐nor­mal are ob­tained. These re­sults are used to draw one in­ter­est­ing con­clu­sion on the bound­ary be­hav­ior of nor­mal holo­mor­phic func­tions in a con­vex bounded do­main $D$ in a com­plex Ba­nach space $V$. Let $\{x_{n}\}$ be a se­quence of points in $D$ which tends to a bound­ary point $\xi \in \partial D$ such that $\lim_{n\to \infty}f (x_{n}) = L$ for some $L \in \mathbf{C}$. Sufficient con­di­tions on a se­quence $\{x_{n}\}$ of points in $D$ and a nor­mal holo­mor­phic func­tion $f$ are given for $f$ to have the ad­mis­si­ble limit value $L$, thus ex­tend­ing the re­sult ob­tained by Bagemihl and Sei­del.

Let $X$ be a com­plex Ba­nach man­i­fold. A holo­mor­phic func­tion $f \colon X \to \mathbf{C}$ is called a Bloch func­tion if the fam­ily $\mathcal{F}_{f}:= \{f \circ \varphi - f(\varphi(0)) : \varphi \in \mathcal{O}(\Delta, X)\}$ forms a nor­mal fam­ily in the sense of Mon­tel, where $\mathcal{O}(\Delta, X)$ de­notes the set of holo­mor­phic maps from the com­plex unit disc to $X$. In this pa­per Bloch func­tions on com­plex Ba­nach man­i­folds are stud­ied. The main re­sult shows that many of the equiv­a­lent defini­tions of Bloch func­tions on the unit disk are also equiv­a­lent in the gen­eral set­ting.

Re­view by T. J. Barth (Zbl 0531.32003):

Let $D$ be a strictly pseudo­con­vex bounded do­main in $\mathbf{C}^{n}$ $(n>1)$, and let $f$ be a holo­mor­phic func­tion on $D$. By a $P$‐se­quence for $f$ the au­thor means a se­quence in $D$ con­verg­ing to a bound­ary point in such a way that $f$ takes on every com­plex value (with at most one ex­cep­tion) infinitely of­ten on every Bergman met­ric $\varepsilon$‐neigh­bor­hood of every sub­se­quence. The func­tion $f$ is called nor­mal on $D$ if it does not pos­sess a $P$‐se­quence. The au­thor proves the fol­low­ing cri­te­rion: $f$ is nor­mal if and only if $|\nabla f(z)|=O(1+|f(z)|^{2})$ as $z$ ap­proaches the bound­ary of D; here $|\nabla f|$ de­notes the mod­u­lus of the gra­di­ent of $f$ mea­sured in the Bergman met­ric of $D$. This leads to an ana­logue of a re­sult about Fa­tou points first proved for the disk by F. Bagemihl and W. Sei­del [Com­ment. Math. Helv. 36, 9‐18 (1961; Zbl 0125.317)]: if f is nor­mal, then f has ad­mis­si­ble lim­its (within cer­tain Stoltz‐type re­gions) on an every­where dense sub­set of the bound­ary of D.

Re­view by Harold P. Boas (MR648587):

The the­o­rem of Lin­delöf in ques­tion says that if a bounded holo­mor­phic func­tion $f$ in the unit disk has a limit along some path (for in­stance a ra­dius) ter­mi­nat­ing at a bound­ary point $p$, then $f$ has a non­tan­gen­tial limit at $p$, that is a limit within any cone ly­ing in the disk and with ver­tex at $p$. For smooth do­mains in $\mathbf{C}^{n}$ the anal­o­gous the­o­rem holds, and one can even sup­plant cones with the wider class of so‐called ad­mis­si­ble ap­proach re­gions, al­low­ing tan­gen­tial ap­proach to the bound­ary in cer­tain di­rec­tions [see E. M. Chirka, Mat. Sb. 92(134) (1973), 622‐644; MR0338415; E. M. Stein, Bound­ary be­hav­ior of holo­mor­phic func­tions of sev­eral com­plex vari­ables, Prince­ton Univ. Press, Prince­ton, N.J., 1972; MR0473215]. The au­thor re­stricts to the class of strongly pseudo­con­vex do­mains in $\mathbf{C}^{n}$ but ex­tends the class of func­tions from bounded holo­mor­phic func­tions to so‐called nor­mal holo­mor­phic func­tions; in this set­ting the au­thor proves that if $f$ has a limit along one non­tan­gen­tial path ter­mi­nat­ing at a bound­ary point $p$ then $f$ has a limit at $p$ within any ad­mis­si­ble re­gion.

Nor­mal func­tions of many com­plex vari­ables

Eng­lish trans­la­tion (MR613124):

The nor­mal mero­mor­phic func­tions of one com­plex vari­able in­tro­duced by O. Lehto and K. I. Vir­ta­nen [Acta Math. 97 (1957), 47–65; MR0087746] have been stud­ied by many au­thors. A fairly com­plete sur­vey of re­sults can be found in A. J. Lo­hwa­ter’s pa­per [Math­e­mat­i­cal analy­sis, Vol. 10 (Russ­ian), pp. 99–259, Akad. Nauk SSSR VINITI, Moscow, 1973; MR0399467]. In the pre­sent pa­per we in­tro­duce the no­tion of a nor­mal holo­mor­phic func­tion of sev­eral com­plex vari­ables and prove two cri­te­ria for nor­mal­ity of the func­tion in do­mains of a spe­cial type. The proof is based on the cri­te­rion of nor­mal­ity of fam­i­lies of holo­mor­phic func­tions of sev­eral com­plex vari­ables. For the one‐di­men­sional case this was es­tab­lished by F. Marty [Ann. Fac. Sci. Univ. Toulouse (3) 23 (1931), 183–261; Zbl 4, 118].
