    Hardy-space Function Theory on Finitely Connected Planar Domains
    Guerra Huaman, Moises Daniel (Virginia Tech, 2008-04-17)
    Hardy space scalar theory on the disk is now classical. Some extensions have been done, one of them is the approach done by Donald Sarason using Laurent series. We present the more complicated function theory, without the use of either power series or Laurent series, for finitely-connected planar domains.

    Schur-class of finitely connected planar domains: the test-function approach
    Guerra Huaman, Moises Daniel (Virginia Tech, 2011-04-18)
    We study the structure of the set of extreme points of the compact convex set of matrix-valued holomorphic functions with positive real part on a finitely-connected planar domain 𝐑 normalized to have value equal to the identity matrix at some prescribed point t₀ ∈ 𝐑. This leads to an integral representation for such functions more general than what would be expected from the result for the scalar-valued case. After Cayley transformation, this leads to a integral Agler decomposition for the matrix Schur class over 𝐑 (holomorphic contractive matrix-valued functions over 𝐑). Application of a general theory of abstract Schur-class generated by a collection of test functions leads to a transfer-function realization for the matrix Schur-class over 𝐑, extending results known up to now only for the scalar case. We also explain how these results provide a new perspective for the dilation theory for Hilbert space operators having 𝐑 as a spectral set.
