Abstract:
Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\mathbb {C}^{n}$, $F$ a nonnegative and $G$ a positive function on $\Omega$ such that $1/G$ is locally bounded, $A^{2}_{\alpha }$ the space of all holomorphic functions on $\Omega$ square-integrable with respect to the measure $F^{\alpha }G\,d\lambda$, where $d\lambda$ is the $2n$-dimensional Lebesgue measure, and $K_{\alpha }(x,y)$ the reproducing kernel for $A^{2}_{\alpha }$. It has been known for a long time that in some special situations (such as on bounded symmetric domains $\Omega$ with $G=\mathbf {1}$ and $F=\,$the Bergman kernel function) the formula \begin{equation*}\lim _{\alpha \to +\infty }K_{\alpha }(x,x)^{1/\alpha }=1/F(x) \tag {$*$} \end{equation*} holds true. [This fact even plays a crucial role in Berezin’s theory of quantization on curved phase spaces.] In this paper we discuss the validity of this formula in the general case. The answer turns out to depend on, loosely speaking, how well the function $-\log F$ can be approximated by certain pluriharmonic functions lying below it. For instance, ($*$) holds if $-\log F$ is convex (and, hence, can be approximated from below by linear functions), for any function $G$. Counterexamples are also given to show that in general ($*$) may fail drastically, or even be true for some $x$ and fail for the remaining ones. Finally, we also consider the question of convergence of $K_{\alpha }(x,y)^{1/\alpha }$ for $x\neq y$, which leads to an unexpected result showing that the zeroes of the reproducing kernels are affected by the smoothness of $F$: for instance, if $F$ is not real-analytic at some point, then $K_{\alpha }(x,y)$ must have zeroes for all $\alpha$ sufficiently large.References
