Bergman Orthogonal Polynomials and the Grunsky Matrix

  • Published:
Constructive Approximation Aims and scope

Abstract

By exploiting a link between Bergman orthogonal polynomials and the Grunsky matrix, probably first observed by Kühnau (Ann Acad Sci Math 10:313–329, 1985), we improve on some recent results on strong asymptotics of Bergman polynomials outside the domain G of orthogonality, and on the entries of the Bergman shift operator. In our proofs, we suggest a new matrix approach involving the Grunsky matrix and use well-established results in the literature relating properties of the Grunsky matrix to the regularity of the boundary of G and the associated conformal maps. For quasiconformal boundaries, this approach allows for new insights for Bergman polynomials.

Notes

  1. We do not need further assumptions on the boundary like \(\Gamma \) being rectifiable, compare with [29, Lemma 2.1].

  2. Compare with [29, Theorem 2.2].
