Abstract

In this work, we consider the hyponormality of Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space of the annulus with a logarithmic weight. We give necessary conditions when the symbol is of the form φ + ψ ¯ , where φ and ψ are analytic on the annulus { z C ; 1 / 2 < z < 1 } .

1 Introduction

A bounded operator T on a Hilbert space is hyponormal if T T T T is positive. The first work on hyponormality of Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space is that of Cowen [1,2]. Hyponormality on the Bergman space was first considered in [3] and a boundary derivative condition was given as a necessary condition. A function theory generalization of the necessary condition was given by Ahern and Cuckovic [4]. The necessary condition was recently improved in a special case by Curto and Cuckovic [5]. Other results deal mostly with special cases. Some of these results can be found in [6]. Sufficient conditions when the analytic part of the symbol is a monomial are provided in [7]. In this work, we complete our results given in [8] by showing that the derivative condition holds for other types of symbols. We begin with definitions and notations. Set R 1 / 2 = { u C ; 1 / 2 < u < 1 } . The space L υ 2 is the space of measurable functions f on R 1 / 2 such that R 1 / 2 f 2 d υ ( u ) < , where d υ ( u ) = 8 π ( 3 2 ln 2 ) r log r d r d θ . The subspace of L υ 2 consisting of analytic functions is denoted by A υ 2 . If f is analytic on R 1 / 2 , we have f = 1 c n u n + 0 c n u n and

f 2 = 1 3 2 ln 2 0 2 2 n + 2 1 ( 2 n + 2 ) ln 2 2 2 n ( n + 1 ) 2 c n 2 + 8 ( ln 2 ) 2 3 2 ln 2 c 1 2 + 4 3 2 ln 2 2 2 2 n 1 ( n 1 ) ln 2 2 2 n 2 + 1 ( n 1 ) 2 c n 2 .

The space A υ 2 has the following orthonormal basis:

{ e n ; n 0 } { e 1 } { e n ; n 1 } = 3 2 ln 2 2 n ( n + 1 ) 2 2 n + 2 1 ( 2 n + 2 ) ln 2 u n , n 0 3 2 ln 2 2 2 ln 2 1 u 3 2 ln 2 2 n 1 2 2 n 1 ( n 1 ) ln 2 2 2 n 2 + 1 1 u n , n 2 .

For h bounded measurable on R 1 / 2 we define the Toeplitz operator B h by B h ( f ) = Q ( h f ) , where Q is the orthogonal projection of L υ 2 onto A υ 2 . We also define Hankel operators by H h ( f ) = ( I Q ) ( h f ) . In this work, the Toeplitz operators considered have a symbol of the form φ + ψ ¯ , where φ and ψ are bounded analytic on R 1 / 2 . We give necessary conditions for the hyponormality of these operators. We start with some basic properties of these operators. These properties are easy to prove and the proof is omitted.

2 General properties of Toeplitz and Hankel operators

Lemma 2.1

Let φ and ψ be bounded measurable on R 1 / 2 . The following statements hold:

  1. B φ + ψ = B φ + B ψ .

  2. B φ = B φ ¯ .

  3. B φ B ψ = B φ ψ if ψ is analytic or φ is conjugate analytic.

  4. B φ B φ B φ B φ = H φ ¯ H φ if φ is analytic.

As in the case of the Bergman space of the unit disk [3], the following proposition gives equivalent forms of hyponormality.

Proposition 2.2

For φ 1 and φ 2 bounded analytic on R 1 / 2 the following statements are equivalent:

  1. B φ 1 + φ 2 ¯ is hyponormal.

  2. B φ 2 ¯ B φ 2 B φ 2 B φ 2 ¯ B φ 1 ¯ B φ 1 B φ 1 B φ 1 ¯ .

  3. H φ 2 ¯ H φ 2 H φ 1 ¯ H φ 1 .

  4. H φ 2 ¯ = C H φ 1 ¯ , where C is bounded of norm less than or equal to one.

Computations involving the projection are given in the next lemma.

Lemma 2.3

The orthogonal projection of L υ 2 onto A υ 2 satisfies the following properties:

  1. Q ( u m u n ¯ ) = 2 2 m + 2 1 ( 2 m + 2 ) ln 2 2 2 m ( m + 1 ) 2 2 2 ( m n ) ( m n + 1 ) 2 2 2 ( m n ) + 2 1 ( 2 ( m n ) + 2 ) ln 2 u m n if m n .

  2. Q ( u m u n ¯ ) = 1 4 2 2 m + 2 1 ( 2 m + 2 ) ln 2 2 2 m ( m + 1 ) 2 ( n m 1 ) 2 2 2 ( n m ) 1 ( ( n m ) 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( n m ) 2 + 1 1 u n m if n m 2 .

  3. Q ( u m u m + 1 ¯ ) = 1 8 ( ln 2 ) 2 2 2 m + 2 1 ( 2 m + 2 ) ln 2 2 2 m ( m + 1 ) 2 1 u .

  4. Q 1 u m u n ¯ = 2 2 m 1 ( m 1 ) ln 2 2 2 m 2 + 1 ( m 1 ) 2 ( m + n 1 ) 2 2 2 ( m + n ) 1 ( m + n 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( m + n ) 2 + 1 1 u m + n , m 2 .

  5. Q 1 u u n ¯ = 2 ( ln 2 ) 2 n 2 2 2 n + 1 n ln 2 2 2 n + 1 1 u n + 1 , n 1 .

  6. Q 1 u m ¯ u n = 2 2 n + 2 1 ( 2 n + 2 ) ln 2 2 2 n ( n + 1 ) 2 2 2 ( m + n ) ( m + n + 1 ) 2 2 2 ( m + n ) + 2 1 ( 2 ( m + n ) + 2 ) ln 2 u m + n .

  7. Q 1 u m ¯ 1 u n = 4 2 2 n 1 ( n 1 ) ln 2 2 2 n 2 + 1 ( n 1 ) 2 2 2 ( m n ) ( m n + 1 ) 2 2 2 ( m n ) + 2 1 ( 2 ( m n ) + 2 ) ln 2 u m n , m n , n 2 .

  8. Q 1 u m ¯ 1 u = 2 ( ln 2 ) 2 2 2 m m 2 2 2 m 1 2 m ln 2 u m 1 , m 1 .

  9. Q 1 u m ¯ 1 u n = 2 2 n 1 ( n 1 ) ln 2 2 2 n 2 + 1 ( n 1 ) 2 ( n m 1 ) 2 2 2 ( n m ) 1 ( n m 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( n m ) 2 + 1 1 u n m , n m 2 .

  10. Q 1 u m ¯ 1 u m + 1 = 1 2 ( ln 2 ) 2 m 2 2 2 m + 1 m ln 2 2 2 m + 1 1 u .

3 Necessary conditions

We start by remarking that φ = 1 c n u n bounded analytic on R 1 / 2 is equivalent to φ being analytic and bounded on the unit disk. We will need the following computation.

Lemma 3.1

Let φ = 1 c n u n be bounded and analytic on R 1 / 2 . For k and l 1 we have

B φ ¯ B φ B φ B φ ¯ ( e k ) , e l = n 1 , n + k l 1 c n + k l ¯ c n 2 k ( k + 1 ) 2 l ( l + 1 ) 2 2 k + 2 1 ( 2 k + 2 ) ln 2 ( 2 2 ( n + k ) + 2 1 ( 2 ( n + k ) + 2 ) ln 2 ) 2 2 l + 2 1 ( 2 l + 2 ) ln 2 2 2 ( n + k ) ( n + k + 1 ) 2 l n 1 , n + k l 1 c n + k l ¯ c n 2 2 k + 2 1 ( 2 k + 2 ) ln 2 2 k ( k + 1 ) 2 l ( l + 1 ) 2 2 l + 2 1 ( 2 l + 2 ) ln 2 2 2 ( l n ) ( l n + 1 ) 2 ( 2 2 ( l n ) + 2 1 ( 2 ( l n ) + 2 ) ln 2 ) 1 8 ( ln 2 ) 2 c k + 1 ¯ c l + 1 2 2 k + 2 1 ( 2 k + 2 ) ln 2 2 k ( k + 1 ) 2 2 l + 2 1 ( 2 l + 2 ) ln 2 2 l ( l + 1 ) 1 4 l n 2 c n + k l ¯ c n 2 2 k + 2 1 ( 2 k + 2 ) ln 2 2 k ( k + 1 ) 2 l ( l + 1 ) 2 2 l + 2 1 ( 2 l + 2 ) ln 2 ( n l 1 ) 2 2 2 ( n l ) 1 ( ( n l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( n l ) 2 + 1 ) .

Proof

We have

B φ ¯ B φ ( e k ) , e l = m , n 1 c m ¯ c n ( 3 2 ln 2 ) 2 k ( k + 1 ) 2 2 k + 2 1 ( 2 k + 2 ) ln 2 2 l ( l + 1 ) u n + k , u m + l 2 2 l + 2 1 ( 2 l + 2 ) ln 2 = n 1 , n + k l 1 c n + k l ¯ c n 2 k ( k + 1 ) 2 l ( l + 1 ) 2 2 k + 2 1 ( 2 k + 2 ) ln 2 ( 2 2 ( n + k ) + 2 1 ( 2 ( n + k ) + 2 ) ln 2 ) 2 2 l + 2 1 ( 2 l + 2 ) ln 2 2 2 ( n + k ) ( n + k + 1 ) 2 .

We also have

B φ B φ ¯ ( e k ) , e l = 1 4 n l 2 c n + k l ¯ c n 2 2 k + 2 1 ( 2 k + 2 ) ln 2 2 k ( k + 1 ) 2 l ( l + 1 ) 2 2 l + 2 1 ( 2 l + 2 ) ln 2 ( n l 1 ) 2 ( 2 2 ( n l ) 1 ( ( n l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( n l ) 2 + 1 ) ) + 1 8 ( ln 2 ) 2 c k + 1 ¯ c l + 1 2 2 k + 2 1 ( 2 k + 2 ) ln 2 2 k ( k + 1 ) 2 2 l + 2 1 ( 2 l + 2 ) ln 2 2 l ( l + 1 ) + l n 1 , n + k l 1 c n + k l ¯ c n 2 2 k + 2 1 ( 2 k + 2 ) ln 2 2 k ( k + 1 ) 2 l ( l + 1 ) 2 2 l + 2 1 ( 2 l + 2 ) ln 2 2 2 ( l n ) ( l n + 1 ) 2 ( 2 2 ( l n ) + 2 1 ( 2 ( l n ) + 2 ) ln 2 ) .

The result follows.□

Put σ l , k = B φ ¯ B φ B φ B φ ¯ ( e k ) , e l . We have with obvious notations

σ l , l + p = 1 n l c n + p ¯ c n M n , p , l + c l + p + 1 ¯ c l + 1 N l , p + n l + 2 c n + p ¯ c n L n , p , l .

Recall that H 2 denotes the Hardy space and denote by T ω the Toeplitz operator on H 2 with symbol ω . If we denote the matrix of T ω in the usual basis of H 2 by ( ω i , j ) , it is known that ω i , i + p = ω j , j + p for any nonnegative integers i , j and p .

Lemma 3.2

Assume that φ H 2 . Then we have lim l l 2 σ l , l + p = λ s , s + p , where ( λ r , s ) r , s is the matrix of the operator T φ 2 .

Proof

A somewhat involved but elementary computation shows that:

lim l l 2 M n , p , l = n ( n + p ) .

Set g l ( n ) = l 2 χ { 0 , , l } ( n ) c n + p ¯ c n M n , p , l , then

lim l g l ( n ) = n ( n + p ) c n + p ¯ c n

and

g l ( n ) d ρ ( n ) = 1 n l l 2 c n + p ¯ c n M n , p , l .

It is not difficult to see that for l large

l 2 c n + p ¯ c n M n , p , l 2 n ( n + p ) c n + p ¯ c n ( n + p ) 2 c n + p 2 + n 2 c n 2 .

Since f H 2 it follows by the dominated convergence theorem that

lim l 1 n l l 2 c n + p ¯ c n M n , p , l = n 1 n ( n + p ) c n + p ¯ c n .

Also, we can readily see that for l large

l 2 c l + p + 1 ¯ c l + 1 N l , p C ( ( l + p + 1 ) 2 c l + p + 1 ¯ 2 + ( l + 1 ) 2 c l + 1 2 )

for some constant C , so

lim l l 2 c l + p + 1 ¯ c l + 1 N l , p = 0 .

Finally, we have

l 2 c n + p ¯ c n L n , p , l n ( n + p ) c n c n + p 1 2 ( n 2 c n 2 + ( n + p ) 2 c n + p 2 )

for l large and n l + 2 . It follows from the dominated convergence theorem that

lim l n l + 2 l 2 c n + p ¯ c n L n , p , l = 0 .

We obtain that lim l l 2 σ l , l + p = n 1 n ( n + p ) c n + p ¯ c n = λ s , s + p .□

We deduce one of our main results.

Theorem 3.3

Let φ = 1 c n u n and ψ = 1 d n u n be bounded and analytic on R 1 / 2 and assume that φ H 2 . If B φ + ψ ¯ is hyponormal, then ψ H 2 and φ ψ a.e. on the unit circle.

Proof

Denote by ( Ψ i , j ) the matrix of B φ ¯ B φ B φ B φ ¯ ( B ψ ¯ B ψ B ψ B ψ ¯ ) , by ( σ i , j ) the matrix of B φ ¯ B φ B φ B φ ¯ and ( θ i , j ) the matrix of B ψ ¯ B ψ B ψ B ψ ¯ . Hyponormality of B φ + ψ ¯ gives θ l , l σ l , l . We deduce that

1 n l l 2 c n 2 M n , 0 , l + l 2 c l + 1 2 N l , 0 + n l + 2 l 2 c n 2 L n , 0 , l 1 n l l 2 d n 2 M n , 0 , l + l 2 d l + 1 2 N l , 0 + n l + 2 l 2 d n 2 L n , 0 , l .

We have

lim l l 2 d l + 1 2 N l , 0 = 0 = lim l 2 c l + 1 2 N l , 0 .

Using the fact that l 1 l 2 c l 2 < and the dominated convergence theorem we see that

lim l n l + 2 l 2 c n 2 L n , 0 , l = 0 .

Also, since 1 d n 2 < , by the dominated convergence theorem, we get

lim l n l + 2 l 2 d n 2 L n , 0 , l = 0 .

Writing 1 n l l 2 d n 2 M n , 0 , l as an integral with respect to the counting measure, and using Fatou’s lemma in the last inequality we get:

1 n n 2 c n 2 1 n n 2 d n 2 .

Thus ψ H 2 . From the previous Lemma 3.2 we obtain that

lim l l 2 ( σ l , l + p θ l , l + p ) = Λ s , s + p ,

where ( Λ s , s + p ) is the matrix of the H 2 Toeplitz operator T φ 2 ψ 2 . Hyponormality and a property of Toeplitz forms [9] lead to φ ψ a.e. on the unit circle.□

Corollary 3.4

Let φ = 1 c n u n and ψ = 1 d n u n be bounded and analytic and univalent on an open set containing the unit disk. Then B φ + ψ ¯ is normal if and only if ψ = a φ for some constant a with a = 1 .

Proof

If ψ = a φ , then it is easy to show that B φ + ψ ¯ is normal. Normality of B φ + ψ ¯ leads to φ = ψ on the unit circle. By the maximum modulus theorem, ψ = a φ for some constant a with a = 1 . Thus, ψ = a φ .□

The following computation is needed.

Lemma 3.5

Let φ = 1 c n u n be bounded and analytic on R 1 / 2 . For k and l greater than or equal to 3 we have

B φ ¯ B φ B φ B φ ¯ ( e k ) , e l = 1 4 n k c n + l k ¯ c n ( k 1 ) ( l 1 ) 2 2 k 1 ( k 1 ) ln 2 2 2 k 2 + 1 ( 2 2 ( n k ) + 2 1 ( 2 ( n k ) + 2 ) ln 2 ) 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 2 2 ( n k ) ( n k + 1 ) 2 + 2 ( ln 2 ) 2 c l 1 ¯ c k 1 k 1 2 2 k 1 ( k 1 ) ln 2 2 2 k 2 + 1 l 1 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 + 1 n + l k , n k 2 c n + l k ¯ c n ( k 1 ) ( l 1 ) 2 2 k 1 ( k 1 ) ln 2 2 2 k 2 + 1 2 2 ( k n ) 1 ( k n 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( k n ) 2 + 1 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 ( k n 1 ) 2 n 1 , n + k l 1 c n ¯ c n + k l 2 2 k 1 ( k 1 ) ln 2 2 2 k 2 + 1 ( k 1 ) ( l 1 ) 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 ( n + k 1 ) 2 ( 2 2 ( n + k ) 1 ( n + k 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( n + k ) 2 + 1 ) .

Proof

Indeed, we have

B φ ¯ B φ ( e k ) , e l = 1 4 m , n 1 c m ¯ c n ( 3 2 ln 2 ) ( k 1 ) ( l 1 ) 2 2 k 1 ( k 1 ) ln 2 2 2 k 2 + 1 u n k , u m l 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 = 1 4 n k c n + l k ¯ c n ( k 1 ) ( l 1 ) ( 2 2 ( n k ) + 2 1 ( 2 ( n k ) + 2 ) ln 2 ) 2 2 ( n k ) ( n k + 1 ) 2 2 2 k 1 ( k 1 ) ln 2 2 2 k 2 + 1 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 + 2 ( ln 2 ) 2 c l 1 ¯ c k 1 ( k 1 ) ( l 1 ) 2 2 k 1 ( k 1 ) ln 2 2 2 k 2 + 1 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 + 1 n k 2 c n + l k ¯ c n ( k 1 ) ( l 1 ) ( 2 2 ( k n ) 1 ( k n 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( k n ) 2 + 1 ) 2 2 k 1 ( k 1 ) ln 2 2 2 k 2 + 1 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 ( k n 1 ) 2 ,

B φ B φ ¯ ( e k ) , e l = m , n 1 c n ¯ c m ( 3 2 ln 2 ) ( k 1 ) ( l 1 ) P ( u n ¯ 1 u k ) , P ( u m ¯ 1 u l ) 4 2 2 k 1 ( k 1 ) ln 2 2 2 k 2 + 1 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 = n 1 , n + k l 1 c n ¯ c n + k l 2 2 k 1 ( k 1 ) ln 2 2 2 k 2 + 1 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 ( n + k 1 ) 2 ( k 1 ) ( l 1 ) ( 2 2 ( n + k ) 1 ( n + k 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( n + k ) 2 + 1 ) .

We can write

σ l , l p = 1 4 n l c n ¯ c n + p ( l + p 1 ) ( l 1 ) ( 2 2 ( n l ) + 2 1 ( 2 ( n l ) + 2 ) ln 2 ) 2 2 ( l + p ) 1 ( l + p 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( l + p ) 2 + 1 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 2 2 ( n l ) ( n l + 1 ) 2 + 2 ( ln 2 ) 2 c l 1 ¯ c l + p 1 ( l + p 1 ) ( l 1 ) 2 2 ( l + p ) 1 ( l + p ) 1 ln 2 2 2 ( l + p ) 2 + 1 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 + 1 n l 2 c n ¯ c n + p ( l + p 1 ) ( l 1 ) ( 2 2 ( l n ) 1 ( l n 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( l n ) 2 + 1 ) 2 2 ( l + p ) 1 ( l + p 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( l + p ) 2 + 1 ( 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 ) ( l n 1 ) 2 n 1 c n ¯ c n + p 2 2 ( l + p ) 1 ( ( l + p ) 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( l + p ) 2 + 1 ( l + p 1 ) ( l 1 ) 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 ( n + l + p 1 ) 2 ( 2 2 ( n + l + p ) 1 ( n + l + p 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( n + l + p ) 2 + 1 ) = n l c n ¯ c n + p A n , l , p + c l 1 ¯ c l + p 1 B l , p + 1 n l 2 c n ¯ c n + p C n , l , p + n l c n ¯ c n + p D n , p , l ,

where, in the last equality,

C n , l , p = ( l + p 1 ) ( l 1 ) ( 2 2 ( l n ) 1 ( l n 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( l n ) 2 + 1 ) 2 2 ( l + p ) 1 ( l + p 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( l + p ) 2 + 1 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 ( l n 1 ) 2 2 2 ( l + p ) 1 ( ( l + p ) 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( l + p ) 2 + 1 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 ( n + l + p 1 ) 2 ( l + p 1 ) ( l 1 ) ( 2 2 ( n + l + p ) 1 ( n + l + p 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( n + l + p ) 2 + 1 )

and

D n , p , l = 2 2 ( l + p ) 1 ( ( l + p ) 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( l + p ) 2 + 1 2 2 l 1 ( l 1 ) ln 2 2 2 l 2 + 1 ( n + l + p 1 ) 2 ( l + p 1 ) ( l 1 ) ( 2 2 ( n + l + p ) 1 ( n + l + p 1 ) ln 2 2 2 ( n + l + p ) 2 + 1 ) .

For φ = 1 c n u n bounded and analytic on R 1 / 2 , we clearly have n 1 n 2 2 2 n c n 2 < . Put φ 1 / 2 ( u ) = n 1 c n ¯ u n 2 n and denote by ( ς i , j ) the matrix of the Hardy space Toeplitz operator T φ 1 / 2 2 . As mentioned earlier, this Toeplitz matrix satisfies ς i , i + p = ς j , j + p .

Lemma 3.6

We have lim l l 2 σ l , l p = ς s , s + p .

Proof

We proceed as in the proof Lemma 3.2. A computation shows that

lim l l 2 C n , l , p = n ( n + p ) 2 2 n + p .

We can also show that for l large

l 2 c n ¯ c n + p C n , l , p C n ( n + p ) c n ¯ c n + p 2 2 n + p C 2 c n 2 n 2 2 2 n + c n + p 2 ( n + p ) 2 2 2 n + 2 p

for some constant C . Writing 1 n , n l 2 l 2 c n ¯ c n + p C n , l , p as an integral with respect to the counting measure and using the dominated convergence theorem we get

lim l 1 n , n l 2 l 2 c n ¯ c n + p C n , l , p = n 1 n ( n + p ) c n ¯ c n + p 2 2 n + p .

Clearly lim l c l 1 ¯ c l + p 1 B l , p = 0 . Finally, using the dominated convergence theorem and the fact that n 1 n 2 2 2 n c n 2 < , it is not difficult to show that

lim l n l l 2 c n ¯ c n + p A n , l , p = lim l n l l 2 c n ¯ c n + p D n , p , l = 0 .

Thus, we have lim l l 2 σ l , l p = ς s , s + p .□

Proceeding as in the proof of Theorem 3.3, we get the following result.

Proposition 3.7

Let φ = 1 c n u n and ψ = 1 d n u n be bounded and analytic on R 1 / 2 . If B φ + ψ ¯ is hyponormal, then ψ φ a.e. on { z , z = 1 / 2 } .

We get an improvement of Corollary 3.4.

Theorem 3.8

Let φ = 1 c n u n and ψ = 1 d n u n be bounded and analytic on R 1 / 2 and assume that φ and ψ are univalent in an open set containing { z , z < 1 / 2 } . Then B φ + ψ ¯ is normal if and only if ψ = a φ for some constant a with a = 1 .

We conclude with the following theorem.

Theorem 3.9

Let φ = 1 c n u n and ψ = 1 d n u n be bounded and analytic on R 1 / 2 and assume φ H 2 . If B φ + ψ ¯ is hyponormal, then ψ H 2 and ψ φ a.e. on { z , z = 1 } { z , z = 1 / 2 } .
