Let D be a smoothly bounded domain in Cn , n> 1. For each point p _ D, we have the Green function G(z, p) associated to the standard sum-of-squares Laplacian Δ with pole at p and the Robin constant __ Λ(p) = lim G(z, p) ...

A pair of commuting bounded operators (S, P) for which the set r = {(z 1 +z 2,z 1z 2) : |z 1| ≤1, |z 2| ≤1} C2 is a spectral set, is called a r-contraction in the literature. For a contraction P and a bounded commutant ...
