Sharp Real-Part Theorems - A Unified Approach (Paperback, 2007 ed.)

We present a uni?ed approach to various sharp pointwise inequalities for a- lytic functions in a disk with the real part of the function on the circumference as the right-hand side. We refer to these inequalities as real-part theorems in reference to the ?rst assertion of such a kind, the celebrated Hadamard s real-part theorem (1892). The inequalities in question are frequently used in the theory of entire functions and in the analytic number theory. We hope that collecting these inequalities in one place, as well as general- ing and re?ning them, may prove useful for various applications. In particular, one can anticipate rich opportunities to extend these inequalities to analytic functions of several complex variables and solutions of partial di?erential eq- tions. The text contains revisions and extensions of recent publications of the authors 56]- 58] and some new material as well. The research of G.
