An infinite product of extremal multipliers of a Hilbert space with Schwarz–Pick kernel

Abstract:
In a functional Hilbert space
$H$ on a set
$X$ with reproducing kernel
$k_x(y)$, define the distance between a point
$a$,
$a\in X$, and a subset
$Z$,
$Z\subset X$, as follows:
$$ d(a,Z)=\inf\left\{\Big\|\frac{k_a}{\|k_a\|}-h\Big\|\biggm | h\in \overline{\mathrm{span}}\big\{k_z | z\in Z\big\} \right\} . $$
A function
$\psi_{a,Z}$ is called an extremal multiplier of
$H$ if
$\|\psi_{a,Z}\|\leq 1$,
$\psi_{a,Z}(a)=d(a,Z)$,
$\psi_{a,Z}(z)=0$,
$z\in Z$. A space
$H$ has the Schwarz–Pick kernel if for every pair
$(a,Z)$ there exists an extremal multiplier. This definition generalizes the well-known concept of a Nevanlinna–Pick kernel.
For a space
$H$ with Schwarz–Pick kernel, an inequality for the function
$d(a,Z)$ is proved. This inequality generalizes the strong triangle inequality for the metric
$d(a,b)$. For a sequence of subsets
$\{Z_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$,
$Z_n\subset X$, such that $\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty\left(1-d^2(a,Z_n)\right)<\infty$, it is shown that an infinite product of extremal multipliers
$\psi_{a,Z_n}$ converges uniformly and absolutely on any ball with radius strictly less than one in the metric
$d$, and also converges in the strong operator topology of the multiplier space.
Key words and phrases:
reproducing kernel, multiplier, strong triangle inequality.
