Abstract:
Let
$H^\infty$ denote the space of bounded analytic functions on the upper half plane
$\mathbb C_+$. We prove that each function in the model space
$H^\infty\cap\Theta\overline{H^\infty}$ is an operator Lipschitz function on
$\mathbb R$ if and only if the inner function
$\Theta$ is a usual Lipschitz function, i.e.,
$\Theta'\in H^\infty$.
Let
$(\mathrm{OL})'(\mathbb R)$ denote the set of all functions
$f\in L^\infty$ whose antiderivative is operator Lipschitz on the real line
$\mathbb R$. We prove that $H^\infty\cap\Theta\overline{H^\infty}\subset(\mathrm{OL})'(\mathbb R)$ if
$\Theta$ is a Blaschke product with the zeros satisfying the uniform Frostman condition. We deal also with the following questions. When does an inner function
$\Theta$ belong to
$(\mathrm{OL})'(\mathbb R)$? When does each divisor of an inner function
$\Theta$ belong to
$(\mathrm{OL})'(\mathbb R)$?
As an application, we deduce that
$(\mathrm{OL})'(\mathbb R)$ is not a subalgebra of
$L^\infty(\mathbb R)$.
Another application is related to a description of the sets of discontinuity points for the derivatives of the operator Lipschitz functions. We prove that a set
$\mathcal E$,
$\mathcal E\subset\mathbb R$, is a set of discontinuity points for the derivative of an operator Lipschitz function if and only if
$\mathcal E$ is an
$F_\sigma$ set of first category.
A considerable proportion of the results of the paper are based on a sufficient condition for operator Lipschitzness which was obtained by Arazy, Barton and Friedman. We give also a sufficient condition for operator Lipschitzness which is sharper than the Arazy–Barton–Friedman condition.
Key words and phrases:
