The Bergman kernel function

Abstract

In this note, we point out that a large family of n×n matrix valued kernel functions defined on the unit disc D ⊆ C, which were constructed recently in [9], behave like the familiar Bergman kernel function on D in several different ways. We show that a number of questions involving the multiplication operator on the corresponding Hilbert space of holomorphic functions on D can be answered using this likeness.
