Abstract

For the special case of a Riemann surface which arises as the double of a planar domainR, the trisecant identity has a natural interpretation as a relation among reproducing kernels for subspaces of the Hardy spaceH 2 (R). This relation and Riemann's theorem on the vanishing of the theta function is applied to Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation onR.
