We determine when a finite Blaschke product $B$ can be written, in a non-trivial way, as a composition of two finite Blaschke products (Ritt's problem) in terms of the Clark measure for $B$. Our tools involve the numerical range of compressed shift operators and the geometry of certain polygons circumscribing the numerical range of the relevant operator. As a consequence of our results, we can determine, in terms of Clark measures, when two finite Blaschke products commute.

Abstract We consider semicrossed products of the disk algebra with respect to endomorphisms defined by finite Blaschke products. We characterize the Jacobson radical of these operator algebras. Furthermore, in the case that the finite Blaschke product is elliptic, we show that the semicrossed product contains no nonzero quasinilpotent elements. However, if the finite Blaschke product is hyperbolic or parabolic with positive hyperbolic step, the Jacobson radical is nonzero and a proper subset of the set of quasinilpotent elements.

The theorems in this paper are all concerned with either pointwise or uniform approximation by functions which have unit modulus or by convex combinations of such functions. The results are related to, and are outgrowths of, the theorems in [4; 5; 10].In § 1, we show that a function bounded by 1, which is analytic in the open unit disc Δ and continuous on may be approximated uniformly on the set where it has modulus 1 (subject to certain restrictions; see Theorem 1) by a finite Blaschke product; that is, by a function of the form*where |λ| = 1 and |αi| < 1, i = 1, …, N. In § 1 we also discuss pointwise approximation by Blaschke products with restricted zeros.

Abstract In their LAMA 2016 paper Gau, Wang and Wu conjectured that a partial isometry A acting on ℂ n cannot have a circular numerical range with a non-zero center, and proved this conjecture for n ≤ 4. We prove it for operators with rank A = n − 1 and any n. The proof is based on the unitary similarity of A to a compressed shift operator SB generated by a finite Blaschke product B. We then use the description of the numerical range of SB as intersection of Poncelet polygons, a special representation of Blaschke products related to boundary interpolation, and an explicit formula for the barycenter of the vertices of Poncelet polygons involving elliptic functions.

The Blaschke products form an important subclass of analytic functions on the unit disc with bounded Nevanlinna characteristic and also are meromorphic functions on $\mathbb{C}$ except for the accumulation points of zeros $B(z)$. Asymptotics and estimates of the logarithmic derivative of meromorphic functions play an important role in various fields of mathematics. In particular, such problems in Nevanlinna's theory of value distribution were studied by Goldberg A.A., Korenkov N.E., Hayman W.K., Miles J. and in the analytic theory of differential equations -- by Chyzhykov I.E., Strelitz Sh.I. Let $z_0=1$ be the only boundary point of zeros $(a_n)$ %=1-r_ne^{i\psi_n},$ $-\pi/2+\eta<\psi_n<\pi/2-\eta,$ $r_n\to0+$ as $n\to+\infty,$ of the Blaschke product $B(z);$ $\Gamma_m=\bigcup\limits_{j=1}^{m}\{z:|z|<1,\mathop{\text{arg}}(1-z)=-\theta_j\}=\bigcup\limits_{j=1}^{m}l_{\theta_j},$ $-\pi/2+\eta<\theta_1<\theta_2<\ldots<\theta_m<\pi/2-\eta,$ be a finite system of rays, $0<\eta<1$; $\upsilon(t)$ be continuous on $[0,1)$, $\upsilon(0)=0$, slowly increasing at the point 1 function, that is $\upsilon(t)\sim\upsilon\left({(1+t)}/2\right),$ $t\to1-;$ $n(t,\theta_j;B)$ be a number of zeros $a_n=1-r_ne^{i\theta_j}$ of the product $B(z)$ on the ray $l_{\theta_j}$ such that $1-r_n\leq t,$ $0<t<1.$ We found asymptotics of the logarithmic derivative of $B(z)$ as $z=1-re^{-i\varphi}\to1,$ $-\pi/2<\varphi<\pi/2,$ $\varphi\neq\theta_j,$ under the condition that zeros of $B(z)$ lay on $\Gamma_m$ and $n(t,\theta_j;B)\sim \Delta_j\upsilon(t),$ $t\to1-,$ for all $j=\overline{1,m},$ $0\leq\Delta_j<+\infty.$ We also considered the inverse problem for such $B(z).$

In this paper, we shall be concerned with bounded, holomorphic functions of the formwhere(1)(2)and(3)B(z{an}) is called a Blaschke product, and any sequence {an} which satisfies (2) and (3) is called a Blaschke sequence. For a general discussion of the properties of Blaschke products, see (18, pp. 271-285) or (14, pp. 49-52).According to a theorem due to Riesz (15), a Blaschke product has radial limits of modulus one almost everywhere on C = {z: |z| = 1}. Moreover, it is common knowledge that, if a Blaschke product has a radial limit at a point, then it also has an angular limit at the point (see 14, p. 19 and 6, p. 457).
