are holomorphic, non-vanishing functions in B , hounded if 1 < a <2. Proof. 1°. The representation (3.9)-(3.10) is proved in [6]. The required properties of H^_i are obvious. 2°. One can easily show (see [6]) that for any

The representation (3.11) is a consequence of these equahties. For 1 < a < 2 the boundedness of functions (3.12), (3.12') and (3.12") in B is obvious. Proof of Theorem 1.3. 1°. Let (1.13) be true for some 7 G (0,1). First, assume that 7 — 1 < a < 7. Denoting /? = 7 — 1 we have —1 < /? < 0 and P < a < P + 1. Consequently, Ba G Np by Lemma 3.2, and our assertion holds in view of Theorem 2 (Introduction) of M.M.Djrbashian-V.S.Zakarian. Next, let 7 < a < 7 + 1. Then the representation (3.9)-(3.10) of Lemma 3.3 holds, and 7 — 1 < Q ; — 1 < 7 . Therefore, in this representation Ba-i G Np by Lemma 3.2. In essence, the proof of H^_i G Np coincides with that of the inclusion H^-i G Np. The desired statement follows from the above mentioned boundary property of functions of Np. Now consider the case a = 7 + 1. According to formulas (3.9) and (3.11), Ba = 5^+1 = C;+iB^[if;]-2, where H; = H;*_^[H;*_\]-^R^. AS it is proved above, the multiplier B^ has non-zero, finite boundary values at all points of the unit circle, with possible exception of a set of zero 7-capacity. As it was mentioned, H*'!Li ^ -^7-1? ^^d one can easily verify that also iJ*!*! G N^-i. Hence these functions possess the required boundary property in view of the common boundary property of functions from Nj-i. Therefore, if we prove that the limit lim H;_,{re'^,{zk})j^O (3.13) exists and is finite out of a set of zero 7-capacity, then by Lindelof's theorem Rj and successively if* and B^^i will have non-zero, finite boundary values

out of such a set. And this will complete the proof of 1°. The proof of (3.13) is quite similar to that of Lemma 2.3. The following estimates appear to be the only difference. Let /i* be a factor of the product (3.10), let z — re*^ (0 < r < 1) and let C = pe*'^ (0 < po ^ P < !)• Then one can verify that

2°. If (1.14) is true, then our assertion is well-known for a = 0. If 0 < a < 1 then by (3.9) BQC is a function of bounded type in D, which provides the validity of our assertion. If 1 < a < 2, then we use the representation (3.11), where

CHAPTER 5
the functions H^*_2^ -fi^a-*2? ^^d Ra-i are holomorphic and bounded in B . And Ba-i is of bounded type in D by the previous case. Thus, also B^ is of bounded type in D. This completes the proof. One can be convinced that the requirements of Theorems 1.2 and 1.3 for a > 7 + 1 (in 1°) or for a > 2 (in 2°) do not provide the inclusion of the considered Blaschke type products in the suitable classes of functions of a-bounded type. Therefore, the method used in this chapter is not applicable for investigation of boundary properties of these products in the mentioned cases. NOTES. Theorem 1.1 is a distinctive similarity of a result proved by M.M.Djrbashian and V.S.Zakarian [28, 29, 30] for the classes N^ (- 1 < a < 0) in the disc. Similar to the case of unit disc, here also a contraction of Nevanlinna's class leads to delicate boundary properties. For - 1 < a < 0 and y = 1 4- a the assertion 1° of Theorem 1.3 was proved earlier by M.M.Djrbashian and V.S.Zakarian [28, 29]. In another particular case 0 < a < 1 and y = a the same assertion, in essence, was proved by D.T.Baghdasarian and I.V.Ohanyan [6]. For all - 1 < a < 1 the assertions 1 of Theorems 1.2 and 1.3 can be considered as generalizations (for the Blaschke type products in the half-plane and in the disc) of the well known result of Frostman [33], which coincides with the case a == 0 of assertions 1° of Theorems 1.2 and 1.3. Further, by assertions 2° of Theorems 1.2 and 1.3 a well-known property of the classical Blaschke product is extended to Blaschke type products. The author's united work with G.V.Mikaelyan [71] contains similar results on the boundary properties of the Blaschke-M.M.Djrbashian products of the version of 1945 [16, 17] (formulas (7), (8) in Introduction), as well as for the Blaschke type products considered in [69] (formulas (2.6), (2.7) in Ch. 4) and used in factorizations of Ch. 4. The structure of that products permits to prove in [71] the similarities of results of this chapter for all a G ( - 1 , + 0 0 ) .

uniformly inside G~. R e m a r k 1.1. This theorem is similar to a well-known result due to Schur [93], stating that any bounded holomorphic function in |2:| < 1 (or in a half-plane) can be uniformly approximated by a sequence of finite Blaschke products, although, for a = 0 Theorem 1.2 somewhat differs from Schur's theorem. R e m a r k 1.2. Any function oi Not{G~} (see (1.1) in Ch. 5) is representable as the product of exp{co + ciK;+2C} and a quotient of two functions satisfying the conditions of Theorem 1.2. Therefore, Theorem 1.2 implies a similar assertion on uniform approximation of arbitrary meromorphic functions from Not{G~} (—1 < a < -hoc) by means of finite Blaschke type products. Theorem 1.3.

R e m a r k 1.3. Being a generalization of Akutowicz' theorem [3] for the classes Na{G~}, Theorem 1.3 becomes a somewhat different assertion for a = 0. This difference of cases a = 0 of Theorems 1.2 and 1.3 from the well known results is a consequence of the fact that No{G~} is a subclass of the set of all functions of bounded type in G~.

By Lemma 2.2, for each j >1 there exists a triangular matrix of pairwise different numbers {wi (t^j^Nj)} (fc = 1, 2 , . . . ; Z = 1,2,... ,fc)satisfying (2.11) and (2.12) and such that (2.13) is uniform in respect to w inside G~. Consequently, one can extract a sequence of natural numbers {fej}i^ such that ,S^j)(

for any j > 1. Hence by (2.15) and (2.17) we come to the desired assertion.
CHAPTER 7 SUBHARMONIC FUNCTIONS WITH NONNEGATIVE HARMONIC MAJORANTS
1. MAIN RESULTS 1.1. It is well known, that Nevanlinna's factorization of the class N of meromorphic functions of bounded type in the unit disc [82] (see also [84], Ch. VII) leads to the following complete characterization of the growth of functions u{z) which are subharmonic in \z\ < 1 and have nonnegative harmonic majorants: P'ZTT

(here and everywhere u'^ = max{n, 0}, u~ = u^ — u). In contrast with this, the problem of finding a complete characterization of the growth of functions which are of the same type in a half-plane was solved only partially, since the conditions l i m i n f i / w+(i?e^^)sin??d?? < + o o (1.2) R^-hoo i?

arising from Nevanlinna factorization in the upper half-plane G'^ = {z : Im z > 0} [83] completely characterize the growth of such functions only in the particular case when they are subharmonic i n G + = {^ : l m z > 0 } (see also [10], Sec. 6.3-6.5, where it is assumed that u{z) can somehow be continuously extended to the real axis). 1.2. The main results of this chapter are the following three theorems particularly containing a complete characterization of the growth of functions subharmonic in G"^, having there nonnegative harmonic majorants. Besides, these theorems somehow improve Nevanlinna's uniqueness theorem ([84], Ch. Ill, Sec. 38) and also the Phragmen-Lindelof type theorem which follows from a result due to M.Heins and L.Ahlfors [1], by replacing the condition limsup z—>t, Im z > 0

Remark 1.1. It is well known that the Nevanlinna class of functions (which are subharmonic in G+ and have there nonnegative harmonic majorants) coincides with the set of functions representable in the form (1.6)-(1.8) where ft{x) = (l + x^)~^, i.e. coincides with S{{1-{-x'^)~^). Thus, the pair of conditions (1.2) and (1.5) presents a complete characterization of the growth of such functions when Q>{x) = (1 + x'^)~^. Besides, if u{x) is subharmonic in G+, then it is obvious that the condition (1.5) with fl{x) = (1 + x^)~^ is equivalent to (1.3). The relations (1.5)-(1.7) are well known even in the most general case when fl{x) = (1 + x'^)~^ (these relations are true for h, h^ and /i~, since u{z) and u'^{z) have the same least nonnegative harmonic majorant). Remark 1.2. Using a result from [101] one can verify that the subset of functions of 5(1) {fl{x) = 1), for which /i < 0, coincides with the class of those functions subharmonic in G"^, for which +00

1.3. The techniques used to prove Theorem 1.1 can be appHed to prove also a theorem on some weighted H^ classes in G+. Consider the class H'P{Q.{X) dx) (0 < p < +oo) of functions f{z) holomorphic in G'^, for which liminf4 / and

By Theorem 1.1, i7^((l + x'^)~^dx) coincides with the set of functions f{z) holomorphic in G"^, for which \f{z)\P has a harmonic majorant in G+, i.e. it coincides with the conformal mapping of Hardy's H^ class for the disc. Besides, it is obvious that, by Remark 1.2 H^{dx) coincides with the class H^ introduced by Hille and Tamarkin by means of the condition (1.18), where u{z) = \f{z)\P. The following theorem relates to a more general case. T h e o r e m 1.4. Let 0 < p < +oo^ and let fl{x) be a measurable function such that almost everywhere Q.{x) > C{1 -^ x'^)'^ for a constant C > 0 and such that for any R> 0, rt{x) is uniformly bounded almost everywhere in {—R,R). Then: 1^. The class H^{^{x)dx) coincides with the subset of those functions of the conformal mapping of Hardy's class, for which f{x) G Lp{fl{x)dx). 2°.

2. REPRESENTATION IN THE SEMI-DISC The main tool used in this chapter is a theorem on necessary and sufficient growth conditions under which a function subharmonic in a semi-disc larger than G^ = {z : Im z > 0, \z\ < R} has a nonnegative harmonic majorant in G^. Before stating our theorem we consider the function T-»

where 0 < p < R, Rp = y/R? —/9^, and a = arccos (p/i?) and prove some lemmas. Observe that LUp{(, z) gives a conformal one-to-one mapping of the segment G j = {^ : Im ^ > p, |(^| < R} onto the unit disc and ijjp{z^ z) = 0. Therefore gR^p{(^z) = — log |cjp(C, z)| (z, ( G G'^ ) is the Green's function of G J . If u{z) is a function subharmonic in a semi-disc G^* (i?* > R), then by Riesz' theorem in G^

where A = sinry, if 0 < r/ < 7r/4, and A = sin(7r/2 — 77), if 7r/4 < 77 < 7r/2. To estimate the denominator in (2.2), first observe that

for sufficiently small p, J > 0 (J > /3) and for any ?? € [/3, J]. Now, using (2.5) and the last two inequalities (where the quantities estimated are even functions of ?? — 7r/2), we obtain that for sufficiently small p, 5 > 0 (J > /3) and for any ^ e [/3,J]U[7r-(5,7r-/3] ax < \Rl - (i?e*^ - ipf\'-^/"ipR,p{^,z)

where ai,2 > 0 are constants depending only on z and R. Since \Rl - {Re'^ - ip)^\ = 2i?2 sin [(i? - p)/2] sin [(TT - /3 - 0)/2], we conclude that the estimates (2.3) are true for sufficiently small p, 6 > 0 {6 > (3) and for any i? G [/3, J] U [TT - (J, TT - /?]. Now observe that (2.4) can be easily derived for any i? G (0, TT). To prove that this relation is true uniformly in [(5,7r — 6] for any S G (0,7r/2), it is enough to observe that the limits of both the numerator and denominator of (fR^p{'d^z) are uniformly separated from zero. Finally, it follows from (2.4) that for any i9 e [S^TT — S] {0 < S < 7r/2) we have 0 < al < (^R{d,z) < a^ < +oo, where the constant aj depends only on z, R and 5 J and the constant a2 depends only on z and R. Using the uniformity of (2.4) and the estimates (2.3) (which were proved for i? G [/3, J] U [TT — (5, TT — ^]), we conclude that these estimates hold for any 7? G [/?, TT — /9]. Lemma 2.2.

while the second, together with (2.8), gives (2.16) for RQ = R. Now let Sn iO {0 < 6n < R) be any sequence. Then, by (2.18), the nondecreasing functions
Jo are uniformly bounded in any segment [—{R — Sn),{R — Sn)] {n > 1), if m > N{n) > 1. Consequently, by Kelly's theorem, there exists a subsequence {Am } £ {Am} such that the relations (2.13) are true when t G [—{R — 6n), {R — Sn)] and y = Am i 0. Therefore, the relations (2.13) are true for any t e {—R,R), if y takes values from the diagonal sequence {Pn} - {A^"^}. At the same time, Kelly's theorem on passage to a limit leads to relations (2.15) for y = Pn I 0. This implies the validity of the equality (2.14). Consider the nondecreasing functions Ai±)(t) = fiRl Jo

Then (2.18) shows that these functions are uniformly bounded in [—R,R]. Kence, by Kelly's theorem, there exists a subsequence of {pn} (which for convenience we again denote {pn}) such that ^^rt\t)

Therefore, by (2.21), J^ < e/2 for sufficiently large n > 1. Consequently, the relations (2.19)-(2.24) give lim /

Using this, one can prove that
The relations (2.25)-(2.27) permit to obtain the representation (2.10)-(2.12) by letting p = pn iO in (2.1). On the other hand, the representation (2.10)-(2.12) is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a nonnegative harmonic majorant of u{z) in G^, since using a conformal mapping this representation is derived from the similar representation of subharmonic functions which are of the same type in the unit disc. Thus, u{z) has a nonnegative harmonic majorant in G^, and, as its majorant is the same in any half-disc G J {0 < Ro < R), the relation (2.16) is true for any Ro {0 < Ro < R). Finally, the relations (2.13) and (2.15) without the indices ± can be easily verified using directly the representation (2.10). But also u'^{z) is a subharmonic function having the same nonnegative harmonic majorant. This proves the relations (2.13) and (2.15) with the index +, hence follows their validity with the index —. 3. PROOFS OF THEOREMS 1.1 - 1.4 Proof of Theorem 1.1. Let u{z) ^ —oo be a function of 5(f^), and let i?^ t oo be a sequence on which the lower limit in (1.2) is attained. Then the hypotheses of Theorem 2.1 are true for any R = Rk, and hence the representation (2.10) is valid for any R = R^. From (2.10) we subtract the same representation written for a smaller half-disc G^ {Q < Ro < R)^ put z = iy, divide the obtained equality by 2y and let y -> +0. This gives the following Carleman type formula:
+ (if - i^) / I **'> - i : [ "'^°'"'^'"'''"'- *=*•" The right-hand side of this formula remains bounded from above as R = Rk -^ -hoo. This follows from (1.2), (2.16) and from the relation +00

which is a consequence of (1.5) and (2.15). Hence, also the left-hand side of (3.1) is bounded. Using this we arrive at (1.7). The proof of convergence of the second integral of (1.8) as well as the proof of the representation (1.6) are similar to the proofs of the corresponding assertions of Nevanlinna's theorem [83] (see also [10], Sec. 6.3 - 6.5). Now let u{z) be a function representable in the form (1.6)-(1.8). Then, obviously
Hence (1.2) follows. Further, it is easy to show that for any R> 0 there exists a constant C > 0 such that

Hence, using Lebesgue's theorem on dominated convergence we arrive at relation (1.12) for U{z). This implies (1.5), and so, u{z) G S{Ct). Consequently, the measures fi±{t) in (1.6) can be recovered by the relations (1.9), and (1.10), (1.11) follow from (2.14), (2.15) of Theorem 2.1. Further, R

for any Q < y < M < +00 and —1 < 7 < 2, where the constant C > 0 depends only on M and 7. Therefore, if f](t) = (1 + \t\)~^ (1 < 7 < 2) or 0(t) = (1 + \t\)-^ ( - K 7 < 1) and /i < 0, then by Lebesgue's theorem + CX)

The converse inequality for the lower limit is true by (3.2). Hence (1.14) holds. To prove (1.13), observe that the function / / .G+

Remark 3.1. By a similar argument, one can prove that the set S{ft 1,0.2) of functions which are subharmonic in G"^ and satisfy the conditions (1.2), (1.5) with f2 = f^i and also the condition lim liminf /

where the left-hand side integral is absolutely convergent in accordance with (2.16). So, the hypothesis u{z) ^ —00 contradicts to the condition (1.20). Proof of Theorem 1.3. 1^. Let lim sup i?-iM(i?) = +00 as i? -> +00. In this case, for any i^ > 0 we can find z = x -\- iy ^ G+ such that u{z) > K\z\ > Ky. Hence a = a'^ = +00. If we have also liminf i?~-^M(i?) < +CXD as R -^ -hoo, then by Theorem 1.1, u{z) is representable in the form (1.6)-(1.8), where /i+(t) = 0. Thus, u{z) satisfies the condition (1.4), and, by the result of M.Heins and L.Ahlfors, there exists lim. R~^M{R) a,s R -^ +00. This is a contradiction. Therefore, if lim sup i?~^M(i?) = +00 as i? -> +00, then there exists lim R~^M{R) = +00 as i? —)> +00, and a + == /3 = +00. In our case lim

since otherwise u{z) would be representable in the form (1.6) - (1.8), where /x_i_(t) = 0, and obviously a < h < +oo which is a contradiction. Now consider the case when \iui sup R~^M{R) < +oo as i? -> H-cx). In this case u{z) is representable in the form (1.6)-(1.8) with /i+(t) = 0, besides, (1.4) is true and there exists lim R~^M{R) =(3 = a-^ as i? -^ +oo, according to the result of M.Heins and L.Ahlfors. Besides, from the representation (1.6)-(1.8) immediately follows that a < h. On the other hand, a > \ixnsupy~^u{iy) a.s y ^ +oo by the first of relations (1.16). Thus, a"*" = /i"^ = /3 and, additionally, (1.15) is true. 2^. U (3 = a^ < -foo, then u(z) is representable in the form (1.6)-(1.8). For such functions the relations (1.15)-(1.17) with h = fS = a'^ hold. Proof of Theorem 1.4. P . Let f{z) G HP{n{x)dx). Then \f{z)\P has a harmonic majorant in G"^ by Theorem 1.1. Thus, f{z) belongs to the conformal mapping of Hardy's class, and it has nontangential boundary values f{x) almost everywhere on (—OO,+CXD). Hence R

Using the factorization of this function we obtain (1.26). Now let (1.24) be replaced by (1.26). Then evidently log"^ \f{z)\ has a harmonic

CHAPTER 9 FUNCTIONS OF a-BOUNDED TYPE IN SPECTRAL THEORY OF NON-WEAK CONTRACTIONS
1. FACTORIZATION OF REGULARIZED DETERMINANTS 1.1. For any p > 1 we denote by Cp the class of continuously invertible contractions T in a separable Hilbert space 53 for which the operator Dj^=I — T*T belongs to the Neuman-Schatten ideal 6p. The set Ci coincides with the class of all invertible weak contractions [104]. We define the characteristic function WT of the operator T as in [12]: WT{Z)WT{0)
WT{0)
= [/ - DT{I

= (r*T)i/2 I S T ,
I ST,
VT = DTS).
It is easy to verify that the operator-function Wj^{'z) differs from the characteristic function @T{Z) of B.Sz.-Nagy and C.Foias [104] by a constant isometric factor. Let us recall from [104, 12] that WT{Z) is holomorphic in \z\ < 1, where its values are two-sided contractions in 2 ) T , i.e. W>J^{Z)WT{Z) < I and WT{z)Wf{z) < / in \z\ < 1. Since / - W^\0)

will play an important role, and one can state that formulas (1.1) and (1.2) give a correspondence between the operators T e Cp (where p is a natural number) and the functions (IT and 7>T which are holomorphic in |z| < 1. 1.2. The main result of this section states that (IT and J>T both belong to M.M.Djrbashian's class Na [19, Ch. IX]. As it is well known, the functions (IT and J>T are bounded in |2:| < 1 if p = 1. For the general case we have T h e o r e m 1.1. If p > 2 is an integer and T G Cp, then the holomorphic functions (IT and T>T belong to Np-i^^ for any e > 0. For proving this theorem we need L e m m a 1.1, If p > 2 is an integer, then for 0 < r < 1 i- / ^^

Hence (1.3) holds for p = 2^ {k > 1). Note that the above argument remains vahd if we replace DT by any normal operator G with the spectral decomposition i

We shall use this later. Returning to the proof of (1.3), for any p > 2 we shall use the well known Hadamard theorem on three lines and some techniques similar to one worked out in the proof of the Riesz-Thorin theorem on interpolation of operators [7].

Of course, we presupposed that F and G satisfy the standard requirements providing the existence of the integrals in (1.4). It is easy to verify that (1.4) is an immediate consequence of the precise estimate |Sp{FG}| < ||i^||p||G||q (see [37]) and Holder's inequality.

Hence ^0(^2^) = driz), ^o{z) = J)T{Z), and our assertion follows from Theorem 1.1. Now we shall check the precision of Theorem 1.1. First, it is easy to observe that the discrete spectrum of an operator T ^ Cp satisfies (1.7). Thus, the functions (IT and T^T in general do not belong to A^ when a < p — 1. For checking this, observe that the set of zeros of dx is the discrete spectrum of T*. Indeed, it follows from (1.1) that driz) — 0 if and only if ;2: = 0 is an eigenvalue of the operator WT[Z)^ and this is equivalent to noninvertability of WT{Z^ since / — WT{Z) G 6 p . On the other hand, applying the equalities z^ ai.T''),
T^r(^)W?(^"^) - W^(^-i)Wr(z) - / ,
\z\ < 1,
(see [104, 12]) we conclude that the operator WT{Z) {\Z\ < 1) is invertible if and only if z ^ a{T*). Similarly, {z^} U {zk} is the set of zeros of 2>T, where {zk} is the set of eigenvalues of T. Thus, if dx (or 7)T) belongs to A"^ for some a < p — 1, then

It is not known weather the functions dr and X>T belong to Ap_i or even to M.M.Djrbashian's more wider class Np-i for any T E Cp. Also, it is not known weather the products do and I^o? constructed by a sequence satisfying (1.7), belong to Np-i. But we can state that there exists a sequence {2^fc}i° satisfying (1.7) and ^(l-|z,|)^-^<+oo k

However, we mention that Theorem 1.1 is as much precise as it is necessary for the further assertions. 1.4' Finding factorizations for C?T and J>T, we shall pay the main attention to the function T^T since its factorization will play more important role in our further considerations.

For proving this theorem we need the following Lemma 1.2. Let A and B be nonnegative contractions and let A = I — XP, where A G (0,1) and P is a one-dimensional orthogonal projector. Ifl—B G &p for some integer p>2, then
sp I E ^ [(^ - ^ ) ' + (^ - ^ ) ' - (^ - ^ ^ ) 1 1 ^ 0-

Proof. First, consider the case when A and B are acting in a finite-dimensional space and B is continuously invertible. Let {A^li', {l^k}^-, and {Z^A;}? be the sets of eigenvalues of the operators A, 5 , and AB correspondingly, numerated in decreasing order (note that the spectrum of AB is positive).

Indeed, let C be the Hnear hull of those eigenvectors of AB, which correspond to the eigenvalues ^'l, z/2,.. • , ^j-i, and let P = (• , e)e.

since {bj, Cj) (1 < j < n) are disjoint and the sum of their lengths is a^. Thus, we proved (1.11) under the assumption that A and B are acting in a finite-dimensional space. It is clear that (1.11) is valid also when B is not invertible. For proving (1.11) in the general case, observe that in virtue of the formula detpAB
={detpA){detpB) x e x p | - S p (j2l[{I-A)'-^{I-B)'-{I-AB)']^^
(1.13)
and other simple properties of regularized determinants [37, Ch. IV] the lefthand side of (1.11) depends on the operators I — A and I — B continuously in the ©p-metric. Consider a monotonely increasing sequence of orthogonal projectors {Pn}T which strongly tend to / and PnA = APn (n > 1). As (1.11) is already proved for An = PnAPn and Bn = PnBPn, letting n -> oo we come to (1.11) in the general case. 1.5. Proof of Theorem 1.2. As we have proved, {zk} U {zk} is the zeroset of the function X>T which belongs to Ap_-^_^^ for any e > 0. In virtue of Proposition 1.1, also the product !Do constructed by the sequence {zk} belongs to Ap_i_^^. Hence the function 'DT{Z)/'DQ{Z)^ which has no zeros in \z\ < 1, belongs to A'^_ij^^ for any 5 > 0, and consequently it allows the representation

where Im 7^ = 0 and i/^e is a real-valued function of bounded variation in [-7r,7r] [19, Ch. IX]. In this formula 7^ = 0 since X>T(0),X>O(0) > 0. Thus (1.10) is true. For proving that -0^ is continuous, observe that log ( P T / ^ O ) is holomorphic in |2:| < 1 and hence it can be expanded in a power series: 00

where ijje {'&) are nonnegative, continuous, increasing functions defined as the positive and the negative variations of ijje on [—TT,-??]. Finally, we shall show that each term of the factorization (1.10) satisfies (1.9). It is well known [12] that to each invariant subspace S)i of the operator T, on which T is invertible, corresponds a factorization of the characteristic function: WT{Z) = WI{Z)W2{Z), (1.15) where Wi and W2 are holomorphic contractions in |z| < 1. Now, let zi be the first eigenvalue of T, Tei = ziei, ||ei|| = 1 and let ^ 1 be the one-dimensional invariant subspace born by ei. Then by (1.15) and (1.13) = detj,[W^ {z)Wi{z)W2{z)W^

< detpW2{x)W^{x),
- 1 < X < 1.
(1.17)
Here we used also (1.11) with A = W^{x)Wi{x), B = W2{x)W^{x), which, as one can easily verify, satisfy the conditions of Lemma 1.2. Since W2 is also a characteristic function of a contraction from Cp [12], the above argument is applicable for X>2(^) = detpW2{z)W^(z). By (1.17) this gives 0 < 'DT{x)/[^i{x)^2ix)]
< detpW3{x)W^{x)
< 1,
- 1 < a: < 1,
since W3 is a holomorphic contraction. Taking away the zeros oiT>T in this way, we come to the desired statement, and the proof is complete. The following question naturally arises: in which case the exponential factor in (1.10) is absent? The answer is given by Proposition 1.2. Let T he a completely non-unitary contraction from Cp (p > 2). Then its regularized determinant T>T is exactly the product T^o of (1.10) if and only ifT is complete and normal. We omit the proof of this statement since it will not be used in the future. Note that, as it was stated in the proof of Theorem 1.2, each discrete factor of the factorization (1.10) is a regularized determinant constructed by a divisor of the characteristic operator-function WT^ corresponding to an eigenvalue of T. So, the considered Blaschke-type factors have a definite spectral interpretation and their application is reasonable in operator theory.

In [19] M.M.Djrbashian used Blaschke-type factors of different form, which permit to obtain inversion formulas (1.14) without division by I>o- Note that products of nearly same type as in (1.10) were introduced in the early works of M.M.Djrbashian [16, 17].
2. BOUNDARY BEHAVIOR OF REGULARIZED DETERMINANTS In this section we find a connection between the behavior of the function J>T near the boundary point z = 1 and some spectral properties of operators T G Cp. Namely, our aim is to prove Theorem 2.1. Let p > 2 be an integer, let 1 be not an eigenvalue for an operator T E Cp and let 7>T be the regularized determinant (1-2).

where F is an angle of opening < TT in |z| < 1, symmetric with respect to the real axis and with vertex at z = 1. Moreover, all the limits in Theorem 2.1 exist as z —> 1 non-tangentially. The proof of this extension of Theorem 2.1 is simple and it needs no new idea. R e m a r k 2.2. Formula (2.2) will be discussed also in the next section. One has to note that it is not known weather (2.2) can be observed as a regularized trace formula for operators of Cp (p > 2). The previous considerations may be used to obtain essentially more general relations of (2.2)-type, which are called trace formulas in the case p = 1 [75]. The existence of e in (2.2) brings some dissatisfaction. The way in which e appears was explained in Sec. 1. One may get rid of it by letting e —> 0 but the properties of the limit function ipo (which may be even a distribution) would be hard to analyze. At last. Theorem 2.1 has been proved earlier for the case p = 1. 3. 6p-PERTURBATI0NS OF SELF-ADJOINT OPERATORS The meaning of the condition (i) of Theorem 2.1 becomes more clear for dissipative unbounded operators A whose Cayley transforms belong to Cp. Namely, it appears that (i) is equivalent to the representability of A as a sum of a selfadjoint operator and an operator from &p. 3.1. Denote by Qp the set of those operators A whose Cayley transforms T={AiI){A -\-iI)-^ belong to Cp. Then A e Qp ii and only if:
1)
±i^a{A),
2)
Im ( A / , / ) > 0 for a l l / G i ^ ( A ) ,

(where Rx = {A-

Besides, an operator T G Cp appears to be the Cayley transform of another operator from Qp if and only if 1 is not an eigenvalue for T. In addition, the following statement is true.

Since / - T'^T = 2{iR.i - iR:_. - 2i21^i?_i), D{A) = {I - T)S) and Z}(^*) (/ - T'')S^, the inclusions (3.2) mean that {iR-i - iR'Li - 2R1^R-i)^ C D{A) and {iR-i - iRL^ - 2R'^_-R-i)S) C D{A*). By the first of these inclusions, R'LiTh e D{A) for any h e S), and D{A') C D{A) since T is invertible. Similarly, the second relation gives D{A) C D{A*), and so D{A) = D{A*).

By the left relation in (2.9), Aj G &p. In other words, the closure of Aj (which initially was defined on D{A)) is a nonnegative operator from (5p. On the other hand, AR = {A -{- A*)/2 is a self-adjoint operator. Indeed, since A is a closed symmetric operator, it suffices to show that its defect index is (0,0). If we contrarily suppose that this defect index is {n,m) {n -\- m > 0), then introducing the operator A - ^ © {-A)

The latter is impossible since A and therefore also A have ±z as regular points. Suppose now that A is represent able in the form (3.1). Then similarly - T)-^f for any vector / G D{A) we obtain that Ajf = {I - T*)-^D^I ( - D{A'')). Besides, for any / G D{A) \\DT{I

Hence, our assertion follows from (3.5), and the proof is complete. 3.4- The next theorem is a consequence of above results. Theorem 3.2.

which is well known at least for bounded dissipative operators. Further, note that for p = 1 the quantity Sp {Aj) was calculated by the parameters of the factorization of bounded holomorphic functions in a half-plane in [42]. 4. COMPLETENESS OF OPERATORS IN Cp The aim of this section is to show how the properties of the regularized determinant X>T may be applied to the completeness problem of non-weak contractions. Recall that an operator is called complete if the closed linear hull of its root subspaces corresponding to the eigenvalues of that operator coincides with the whole space. 4.1. In the case of dissipative operators, the following theorem improves a well-known result due to M.V.Keldisch (see [74] or [37, Ch. V]). T h e o r e m 4 . 1 . Let p > 1 be an integer, and let T G Cp be any operator for which 1 is not an eigenvalue. Further, let the spectrum of T be a sequence {zk} having 1 as its unique limit point, and let Vrir) liminf l o g - ^ ^ = 0
(4.1)
for the functions J>T{r) and X>o(r) defined by (1.2) and (1.8). Then the operator T is complete. Before proving this theorem, we shall show that it really is a generalization of the mentioned result of M.V.Keldisch. Indeed, (4.1) is satisfied "with considerable reserve" if sup (1 - r)-P[l - G{r)] < +00,

and the requirements of Theorem 2.1 will be fulfilled. Thus, by Theorem 3.2, the corresponding operator A (which is the inverse Cayley transform of T) will be representable as A = AR + iAj, where AR = A^j^ and Aj > 0, A/ € &p. Further, A and AR will have the same continuous spectrum since a compact
184
CHAPTER 9
perturbation does not change that. By the conditions of Theorem 4.1, the continuous spectrum of AR will be located in oc, i.e. AR will have only discrete spectrum. In this particular case Theorem 4.1 states: a 6p-perturbation of a self-adjoint operator with discrete spectrum is a complete operator. Namely this statement was established by M.V.Keldisch [74]. If we put p = lin the formulas for VT and 2>o, then Tyri^) will become the usual determinant of WT{Z)W'}{'Z) and 2^o(^) will become a Blaschke product. Thus, for p = 1 the condition (4.1) is also necessary for the completeness of T if this operator is a weak contraction. The latter fact immediately follows from the well-known completeness criterion for weak contractions [37, Ch. V]. 4.2. Proof of Theorem 4.1. Suppose our statement is not true. Then it is clear that S)i = Clos span{/^ : \zk\ < 1} ^ S), and denoting S)2 = ^ Q ^1 we conclude that the following triangulation given by the invariant subspace S) 1 is true:
Here T2 is an operator whose spectrum consists of the single point z = 1 which is not an eigenvalue. Thus, the characteristic function WT{Z) admits the factorization [12] WT{Z)
= WI{Z)W2{Z)

where Wi{0) is any invertible solution of the equation Wi{0)Wi{0) = I — DTPIDT [12]. In the above formulas Pi and P2 are the orthogonal projections onto S)i and 9)2 correspondingly. As the operator Ti is complete, its characteristic function Wi can be represented by the product Wi(z) = W,,{z)W,,(z).-.
W,„(^) • • • = n W , , ( z ) ,
where Wzj^{z) are operatorial Blaschke factors. This can be checked by the standard methods introduced into operator theory by M.S.Livsic [78]. Note that this infinite product is convergent in the sense that the operator-function -1

Letting here n —> oo and taking into account (4.3) we come to (4.4). Now denote V2{z) = detpW2{z)W^{z). If {Xk} are the eigenvalues of the operator W2{x)W2(x), oo

where Ca is a constant depending solely on a. Henceforth, we shall suppose that a is enough great to provide that the opening of F is greater than 7r(l — 2/p). Now we may state that for any /ii,/i2 ^ 2 ) T the function f{z) = {W^^{z)hi,h2) is holomorphic in the whole complex plane, except the point z = 1, and is bounded in F. Besides, the entire function F{w) = f{z),
z = {w-i)/{w

is bounded in the upper half-plane, except two angles adjoining the real axis, with openings less than n/p (since W2{z) is a unitary operator when |z| = 1

[12]). Aimed to apply the Phragmen-Lindelof principle in that angles, we shall show that F is of order p. To this end, we first note that if \z\ < 1, then ii^2~H^)ii = ii^2*(^-')ii < ^ 1 + C 2 i i ( / - z - ^ T ^ r ' i i = Ci+C2\z\-\\{T2-zI)-% Now introduce the operator A2 G Qp which is connected with T2 by the equality T2 = {A2 — iI){A2 -{-il)~^. li z = {w — i)/{w + i), then a simple calculation gives {T2 - zl)-^

On the other hand, if B2 = A ^ \ then B2 = -i{{I - T2){I + T2)~'^ and B2 - B* e 6 p since B2 - B^ = -2i{I + r 2 ) - i ( / - T2T^){I + T^)-\ As the spectrum of the operator A2 is an empty set, B2 is quasinilpotent and hence it is a compact operator [37, Ch. I]. Besides B2 G &p according to a theorem due to V.I.Macaev and, as it is well known, the order of the resolvent {A2 — wl)~^ is equal to p [37, Ch. IV]. Thus, the function F is of order p. Therefore, applying the Phragmen-Lindelof principle we conclude that F is bounded in the whole upper half-plane. By the elementary properties of characteristic operator-functions [12], F is bounded also in the lower half-plane. Consequently, the operator-function W2 is constant in the unit disc, i.e. T2 is a unitary operator. As cr(T2) = 1, we come to the equality T2 = I which contradicts the conditions of our theorem. Thus, Theorem 4.1 is proved. 4.3. Examining the proof of Theorem 4.1, one can see that a more general result could be proved. Namely, instead of the condition (4.1) one could require the function | \og{7yT{x)/7>o{x))\ to be bounded by a constant (which can be calculated) depending solely on p. Of course, stronger criterions of completeness given in terms of the regularized determinant T>T are possible. These can be obtained using more delicate Phragmen-Lindelof type theorems. For instance, the following result is true for the case p = 2 being of special interest. T h e o r e m 4.2. Let T be a contraction from C2, for which 1 is not an eigenvalue. Further, let the spectrum of T be a sequence {zk} with the unique limit point at 1, and let liminf (1 - r) log § ^
= 0.
(4.7)
Then T is complete. Moreover, for any given a < 0 there exists a non-complete operator in C2, for which the lower limit (4.1) is equal to a. Proof. It follows from (4.4) that liminf (1 - r)T>2(r) = 0 , r—>1—0

where 1^2 is the function considered in the proof of Theorem 4.1. Suppose T>2{r) = exp{—(f{r)} {(p{r) > 0). Then {l — r)(p{r) -^ 0 as r -> 1 —0, according to Theorem 1.2. Further, (4.5) can be written in the form
^{r)>-log{l-\\I-W2{r)W^{r)\\)-Y^-:\\I-W2{r)WUrW. Using this we get (l — ||/ — W2(r)W2*(^)ll))~'^ ^ Cexp{(f{r)}

Turning as ear her to the entire function F , one can see that hm sup y-'^ log \F{iv)\ < 0
(4.8)
and F is of second order and minimal type [37, Ch. V]. Application of the Pragmen-Lindelof principle to the function Fi{w) = F{w)exp{iw} separately in both quadrants of the upper half-plane gives that F is of first order and, consequently, it belongs to M.Cartwright's class [37, Ch. V]. Thus, by (4.8) the indicator of F is non-positive and hence F = const. The end of the proof of completeness is quite the same as that of Theorem 4.1 and we omit it. Now introduce an obviously non-complete operator T € C2 as the orthogonal sum T = Ti 0T2, where Ti is a complete operator from C2, for which (4.7) is true, and T2 is a contraction with one-dimensional defect, the characteristic function of which is of the form
