The Szego Metric Associated to Hardy Spaces of Clifford Algebra Valued Functions and Some Geometric Properties

摘要

In analogy to complex function theory we introduce a Szego metric in the context of hypercomplex function theory dealing with functions that take values in a Clifford algebra. In particular, we are dealing with Clifford algebra valued functions that are annihilated by the Euclidean Dirac operator in Rm+1. These are often called monogenic functions. As a consequence of the isometry between two Hardy spaces of monogenic functions on domains that are related to each other by a conformal map, the generalized Szego metric turns out to have a pseudo-invariance under Mobius transformations. This property is crucially applied to show that the curvature of this metric is always negative on bounded domains. Furthermore, it allows us to establish that this metric is complete on bounded domains.
