The Theory of H(b) Spaces: Volume 2

Emmanuel Fricain is Professor of Mathematics at Laboratoire Paul Painlevé, Université Lille 1, France. Part of his research focuses on the interaction between complex analysis and operator theory, which is the main content of this book. He has a wealth of experience teaching numerous graduate courses on different aspects of analytic Hilbert spaces, and he has published several papers on H(b) spaces in high-quality journals, making him a world specialist in this subject. Javad Mashreghi is a Professor of Mathematics at the Université Laval, Québec, Canada, where he has been selected Star Professor of the Year seven times for excellence in teaching. His main fields of interest are complex analysis, operator theory and harmonic analysis. He is the author of several mathematical textbooks, monographs and research articles. He won the G. de B. Robinson Award, the publication prize of the Canadian Mathematical Society, in 2004.

'The monograph contains numerous references to original papers, as well as numerous exercises. This monograph may be strongly recommended as a good introduction to this interesting and intensively developing branch of analysis …' Vladimir S. Pilidi, Zentralblatt MATH
