1. Introduction
1.1. Bergman spaces on and
For every , the Bergman space of the disc is the Hilbert space of all functions which are holomorphic in the unit disk and are such that
[TABLE]
Analogously, the Bergman space of the upper half place is defined as the set of analytic functions in such that
[TABLE]
where stands for the normalized area measure on These two spaces defined above do not only share similarities in their definition, but indeed it can be shown that they are isomorphic: if one defines
[TABLE]
then maps to as a unitary isomorphism. For this reason, dealing with one space or the other is equivalent, an important fact in the proof of the main theorem below.
For the reason above, let us focus on the case of , and thus we abbreviate from now on. The weighted norm defining this space is induced by the scalar product
[TABLE]
Here and throughout, denotes the two-dimensional Lebesgue measure on .
Given , the reproducing kernel relative to , i.e. the (unique) function such that
[TABLE]
is given by
[TABLE]
note that . We refer the reader to [4, 15] and the references therein for further meaningful properties in the context of Bergman spaces.
Recently, in the papers [8, 11] a new method for studying distribution for analytic functions in hyperbolic and Euclidean case was discovered. Some extensions of these results are given in [6, 7, 9], while in [10, 13], the reader can find (partial) solutions of some other problems where the theorems from [8] are used. Here, we will turn our attention to an another paper in which these methods are used, [14], where the Radon measure
[TABLE]
on the disc is considered. This measure is, in fact, the area measure in the usual Poincaré model of the hyperbolic space (up to a multiplicative factor 4).The authors of [14] maximized the quantity
[TABLE]
over all and with because
[TABLE]
More precisely, the main result of Ramos and Tilli in [14] is the following theorem.
Theorem 1.1**.**
Let and be fixed. Among all functions and among all measurable sets such that , the quotient as defined in (1.2) satisfies the inequality
[TABLE]
where is a disc centered at the origin with Moreover, there is equality in (1.3) if and only if is a multiple of some reproducing kernel and is a ball centered at , such that .
Note that, in the Poincaré disc model in two dimensions, balls in the pseudohyperbolic metric coincide with Euclidean balls, but the Euclidean and hyperbolic centers differ in general, as well as the respective radii.
The proof of Theorem 1.1 is based on the isoperimetric inequality for hyperbolic metric on the unit disk and the point-wise estimate ([16])
[TABLE]
The aim of this paper is to generalize this result for the higher order derivatives of holomorphic functions. In order to do so, define the Gaussian hypergeometric function
[TABLE]
where is the Pochhammer symbol.
We begin by the following lemma (an analog of (1.4) for derivatives):
Lemma 1.2**.**
Let
[TABLE]
If , then
[TABLE]
Proof.
From reproducing formula for functions from the Bergman space
[TABLE]
we find
[TABLE]
and consequently, by Cauchy-Schwarz inequality:
[TABLE]
The integral can be calculated using polar coordinates and Parseval’s formula, thus giving:
[TABLE]
Hence,
[TABLE]
and by, Euler’s transformation, the last hypergeometric function is equal to ∎
Similar estimates for the first and higher order derivatives for functions in weighted Bergman and Fock spaces can be found in [3, 12].
Now define two weighted measures
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
and consider the space of holomorphic functions defined on the unit disk, so that
[TABLE]
Denote this space by Observe that, for ,
The motivation for considering the first of them comes from the pointwise estimate (1.4). Since every measure of the form on the unit disk is equivalent to it also make sense to consider At the end of our paper we will see that, after certain limitting process, the results for the measure can be transferred to the appropriate results for Fock spaces, earlier proved in [6].
Now we formulate the following extension of Theorem 1.1 for .
Theorem 1.3**.**
Assume that and define the quotient
[TABLE]
and the analogous with the measure Then we have the following sharp inequalities
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
where and The equality can not be attained in any of these two estimates.
We believe that (1.5) holds for each but we were not able to prove this.
2. Proof of Theorem 1.3
In this section we will prove the Theorem 1.3. In order to do this, we need the following lemmas
Lemma 2.1**.**
For and we have
[TABLE]
and the analogous with in the place of .
We postpone the proof of this lemma for the next section.
Lemma 2.2**.**
For and we have
[TABLE]
Proof.
Let us denote . From the formula for laplacian in polar coordinates we find
[TABLE]
Hence the inequality we intend to prove is equivalent to
[TABLE]
This inequality follows from the next two inequalities:
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
First of them, after using is easily seen to be equivalent with The second inequality reduces to
[TABLE]
or, by using the same identity:
[TABLE]
However, main results of the papers [2, 5] gives that is monotone decreasing and which concludes the proof. ∎
Now, we turn to the proof of main theorem. First we define
[TABLE]
with and also
[TABLE]
where is the unique positive real number so that .
Observe that
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
In a similar way as in [14] we can prove
Lemma 2.3**.**
The function is absolutely continuous on and
[TABLE]
In particular, the function is, as the inverse of locally absolutely continuous on with
[TABLE]
Let us then denote the boundary of the superlevel set where as
[TABLE]
We then imitate the corresponding proof in [14]. By Lemma 2.3,
[TABLE]
Now we apply Cauchy-Schwarz inequality to get
[TABLE]
letting
[TABLE]
denote the length of in the hyperbolic metric, we obtain the lower bound
[TABLE]
To determine the first term in the product on the right-hand side of (2.3), we observe that
[TABLE]
which then implies that, letting ,
[TABLE]
Therefore,
[TABLE]
On the other hand, the isoperimetric inequality for the hyperbolic metric gives
[TABLE]
so that, pluggin into (2.4), we obtain
[TABLE]
Then we obtain
[TABLE]
Thus
[TABLE]
is convex, where
[TABLE]
Since and , it follows that and . Thus . In other words,
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
In the case of measure we define as above, but with Proceeding as earlier, we have
[TABLE]
thus getting
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
while the isoperimetric inequality for the hyperbolic metric implies
[TABLE]
Now it is evident that our estimate holds with
3. A proof of Lemma 2.1
Let us first prove the Lemma 2.1 in the case of the measure since its proof is significantly easier.
Using Taylor expansion and Parseval’s identity we get the following equivalent form:
[TABLE]
This is easily seen to be equivalent with
[TABLE]
which follows from the observations that and
The case of the measure is much harder and we will prove it only for
Similarly as above, we reduce it to the inequality:
[TABLE]
Hence, it is sufficient (and necessary) to prove that
[TABLE]
Denoting and reformulating our inequality we stand at
[TABLE]
We will rewrite using partial fractions as
[TABLE]
for some and This is possible, since by the formula from [1], where are the corresponding Jacobi polynomials and each has exactly simple real zeros (this is general theorem on orthogonal polynomials). Also, has only negative zeros because all its coefficients are positive. From
[TABLE]
taking the limit when we find that
[TABLE]
Expansion into partial fractions reduces to the calculation of the integral
[TABLE]
which after the substitution becomes
[TABLE]
by the Euler integral representation for hypergeometric function. Hence, we have:
[TABLE]
where the last equality follows from the simple change of variable.
Now, the main inequality can be rewritten as
[TABLE]
Denote
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
where is chosen so that
[TABLE]
From
[TABLE]
by letting we get
[TABLE]
i.e.
[TABLE]
Our inequality reads as
[TABLE]
therefore, it will be enough to prove that
[TABLE]
After substitution this becomes
[TABLE]
Series expansion on reduces the problem to proving
[TABLE]
The sum on right-hand side can be calculated:
[TABLE]
usng the next lemma:
Lemma 3.1**.**
[TABLE]
Proof.
Note that both sides of the identity are degree polynomials on Hence, it will be enough to prove it for different numbers Taking for we get that the LHS, by the Gauss theorem, is equal to while the RHS is Since they are evidently equal, we conclude the proof. ∎
Therefore, we need to prove
[TABLE]
where One possible approach would be the usage of some properties of Hadamard products of series.
However, we will compare the appropriate coefficients on both sides of the previous inequality:
[TABLE]
We will now express the left-hand side in another way. In fact, we calculate the -th derivative of using two approaches. First, from
[TABLE]
we find
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
From this formula, we see the following equivalent form of our inequality:
[TABLE]
From Leibnitz’s formula we get:
[TABLE]
which gives
[TABLE]
Finally, using we reduce the inequality to showing
[TABLE]
If we denote the LHS of the last inequality by then it takes the form
[TABLE]
Using Pfaff transformation
[TABLE]
we deduce that are all zeros of polynomial Now, we will express this function as a polynomial on and find a closed formula for the elementary symmetric polynomials of its zeros, using Vieta’s formulas. First, we write it by the definition and change the order of summation:
[TABLE]
The inner sum can be further rewritten as
[TABLE]
Denoting , we have to find the sum . But, by the Lemma 3.1 with and we see that it is equal to From this we conclude that
[TABLE]
Hence, are the zeros of the polynomial and by Vieta’s formulas:
[TABLE]
For this reduces to the Bernoulli inequality \big{(}\frac{\alpha}{\alpha+1}\big{)}^{l}\leq\frac{\alpha}{\alpha+l}. For after introducing , we stand at:
[TABLE]
For and we have the equality. We will proceed by the induction. If we suppose that the inequality holds for then we have, for
[TABLE]
where the last inequality we prove by the induction again. It is the equality for while
[TABLE]
gives
[TABLE]
since the last inequality is equivalent to
[TABLE]
This can be easily checked using (3.3).
Similarly, for we use the identity
[TABLE]
This holds for . If this is true for then for we have to prove:
[TABLE]
which is easily seen to be true for since it reads as Now, to prove (the last inequality) we again use the induction:
[TABLE]
or, equivalently:
[TABLE]
For this reads as which, by using and reduces to This can be easily checked by using (3.3). Finally, using the induction again we see that our inequality follows from:
[TABLE]
Our approach become much more complicated and needs many modifications for hence we were not been able to prove the theorem in full generality for this case.
4. Consequences to Fock space case
Here we will show that an easy limitting argment with the measure gives the appropriate Fock space inequality from [6] for each . Indeed, from
[TABLE]
after the substitution with we get:
[TABLE]
Now,
[TABLE]
with tends to
[TABLE]
where is the th degree Laguerre polynomial. Hence, taking the limit when in the last inequality, we get:
