Abstract:

Using Bergman’s integral operator method, the author studies an arbitrary axisymmetric harmonic polynomial $H(x,\rho )$ in ${R^3}$ and ${R^N}$ in relation to its associate polynomial $h(\zeta )$ in $C$. His results pertain to the value distributions and critical circles of $H(x,\rho )$ in certain cones; bounds on the gradient of an $H(x,\rho )$ assumed bounded in sphere ${x^2} + {\rho ^2} \leqq 1$; axisymmetric harmonic vectors. Corresponding results are also obtained for axisymmetric harmonic functions $F(x,\rho )$ with rational associate $f(\zeta )$.
