It is a classical theorem that if a function is integrable along the boundary of the unit circle, then the function is the nontangential limit of a holomorphic function on the open disc if and only if its Fourier coefficients for nonnegative integers are zero. In this article we generalize this result to higher complex dimensions by proving that for an integrable function on the unit sphere, it is ``boundary trace'' of a holomorphic function on the open unit ball if and only if two particular families of integral equations are satisfied. To do this, we use the theory of Hardy spaces as well as the invariant Poisson and Cauchy integrals. This article is written in a style that is meant to be welcoming to those who have taken a course in complex analysis but who are not necessarily experts in the field., Comment: 7 pages

We study dilated holomorphic $L^p$ space of Gaussian measures over $\mathbb{C}^n$, denoted $\mathcal{H}_{p,\alpha}^n$ with variance scaling parameter $\alpha>0$. The duality relations $(\mathcal{H}_{p,\alpha}^n)^\ast \cong \mathcal{H}_{p',\alpha}$ hold with $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{p'}=1$, but not isometrically. We identify the sharp lower constant comparing the norms on $\mathcal{H}_{p',\alpha}$ and $(\mathcal{H}_{p,\alpha}^n)^\ast$, and provide upper and lower bounds on the sharp upper constant. We prove several suggestive partial results on the sharpness of the upper constant. One of these partial results leads to a sharp bound on each Taylor coefficient of a function in the Fock space for $n=1$.

For $\alpha>0$, the Bargmann projection $P_\alpha$ is the orthogonal projection from $L^2(\gamma_\alpha)$ onto the holomorphic subspace $L^2_{hol}(\gamma_\alpha)$, where $\gamma_\alpha$ is the standard Gaussian probability measure on $\C^n$ with variance $(2\alpha)^{-n}$. The space $L^2_{hol}(\gamma_\alpha)$ is classically known as the Segal-Bargmann space. We show that $P_\alpha$ extends to a bounded operator on $L^p(\gamma_{\alpha p/2})$, and calculate the exact norm of this scaled $L^p$ Bargmann projection. We use this to show that the dual space of the $L^p$-Segal-Bargmann space $L^p_{hol}(\gamma_{\alpha p/2})$ is an $L^{p'}$ Segal-Bargmann space, but with the Gaussian measure scaled differently: $(L^p_{hol}(\gamma_{\alpha p/2}))^* \cong L^{p'}_{hol}(\gamma_{\alpha p'/2})$ (this was shown originally by Janson, Peetre, and Rochberg). We show that the Bargmann projection controls this dual isomorphism, and gives a dimension-independent estimate on one of the two constants of equivalence of the norms., Comment: 24 pages

Narasimhan and Ramadas showed that the restricted holonomy group of the Coulomb connection is dense in the connected component of the identity of the gauge group when one considers the product principal bundle $S^3 \times SU(2)\to S^3$. Instead of a base manifold S^3, we consider here a base manifold of dimension $n\ge 2$ with a boundary and use Dirichlet boundary conditions on connections as defined by Marini. A key step in the method of Narasimhan and Ramadas consisted in showing that the linear space spanned by the curvature form at one specially chosen connection is dense in the holonomy Lie algebra with respect to an appropriate Sobolev norm. Our objective is to explore the effect of the presence of a boundary on this construction of the holonomy Lie algebra. Fixing appropriate Sobolev norms, it will be shown that the space spanned, linearly, by the curvature form at any one connection is never dense in the holonomy Lie algebra. In contrast, the linear space spanned by the curvature form and its first commutators at the flat connection is dense and, in the $C^\infty$ category, is in fact the entire holonomy Lie algebra. The former, negative, theorem is proven for a general principle bundle over $M$, while the latter, positive, theorem is proven only for a product bundle over the closure of a bounded open subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$. Our technique for proving absence of density consists in showing that the linear space spanned by the curvature form at one point is contained in the kernel of a linear map consisting of a third order differential operator, followed by a restriction operation at the boundary; this mapping is determined by the mean curvature of the boundary., Comment: 27 pages, paper version of PhD thesis Version Notes: Generalized over for manifolds of dimension 2 and greater, clearer statement of results, clearer abstract, typos corrected

Narasimhan and Ramadas showed that the Gribov ambiguity was maximal for the product SU(2) bundle over S^3. Specifically they showed that the holonomy group of the Coulomb connection is dense in the connected component of the identity of the gauge group. Instead of base manifold S^3, we consider here a base manifold with a boundary. In this with-boundary case we must include boundary conditions on the connection forms. We will use the so-called conductor (a.k.a Dirichlet) boundary conditions on connections. With these boundary conditions, we will first show that the space of connections is a C^\infty Hilbert principal bundle with respect to the associated conductor gauge group. We will consider the holonomy of the Coulomb connection for this bundle. If the base manifold is an open subset of R^3 and we use the product principal bundle, we will show that the holonomy group is again a dense subset of the connected component of the identity of the gauge group., Comment: Doctoral Thesis, 55 pages, 0 figures, shorter paper version upcoming
