Abstract:
A Schwarz function on an open domain Ω is a holomorphic function satisfying S(ζ)=¯ζ on Γ, which is part of the boundary of Ω. Sakai in 1991 gave a complete characterization of the boundary of a domain admitting a Schwarz function. In fact, if Ω is simply connected and Γ=∂Ω∩D(ζ,r), then Γ has to be regular real analytic. This paper is an attempt to describe Γ when the boundary condition is slightly relaxed. In particular, three different scenarios over a simply connected domain Ω are treated: when f1(ζ)=¯ζf2(ζ) on Γ with f1,f2 holomorphic and continuous up to the boundary, when U/V equals certain real analytic function on Γ with U,V positive and harmonic on Ω and vanishing on Γ, and when S(ζ)=Φ(ζ,¯ζ) on Γ with Φ a holomorphic function of two variables. It turns out that the boundary piece Γ can be, respectively, anything from C∞ to merely C1, regular except finitely many points, or regular except for a measure zero set.
