Abstract.
We present several results associated to a holomorphic-interpolation problem for the spectral unit ball Ω n , n ≥ 2. We begin by showing that a known necessary condition for the existence of a \({\mathcal{O}} ({\mathbb{D}};\Omega_{n})\)-interpolant (\({\mathbb{D}}\) here being the unit disc in \({\mathbb{C}}\)), given that the matricial data are non-derogatory, is not sufficient. We provide next a new necessary condition for the solvability of the two-point interpolation problem – one which is not restricted only to non-derogatory data, and which incorporates the Jordan structure of the prescribed data. We then use some of the ideas used in deducing the latter result to prove a Schwarz-type lemma for holomorphic self-maps of Ω n , n ≥ 2.
