Hankel determinants for the Fibonacci word and Padé approximation
It is an open question whether Nehari's theorem on the circle group has an analogue on the infinite-dimensional torus. In this note it is shown that if the analogue holds, then some interesting inequalities follow for certain trigonometric polynomials on the torus. We think these inequalities are false but are not able to prove that.
A well known theorem of Nehari asserts on the circle group that bilinear forms in H² can be lifted to linear functionals on H¹. We show that this result can be extended to Hankel forms in infinitely many variables of a certain type. As a corollary we find a new proof that all the norms on the class of Steinhaus series are equivalent.
Let f be a holomorphic function of Carleman type in a bounded convex domain D of the plane. We show that f can be expanded in a series f = ∑ₙfₙ, where fₙ is a holomorphic function in Dₙ satisfying for some constants C > 0 and 0 < ϱ < 1, and where (Dₙ)ₙ is a suitably chosen sequence of decreasing neighborhoods of the closure of D. Conversely, if f admits such an expansion then f is of Carleman type. The decrease of the sequence Dₙ characterizes the smoothness of f.
