Holomorphic functions with distinguished properties on infinite dimensional spaces

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we develop a method to construct holomorphic functions that exist only on infinite dimensional spaces. The following types of holomorphic functions f:U→ℂ on some open subsets U of an infinite dimensional complex Banach space are constructed: (1) f is bounded holomorphic on U and is continuously, but not uniformly continuously extended to U¯; (2) f is continuous on U¯ and holomorphic of bounded type on U, but f is unbounded on U; (3) f is holomorphic of bounded type on U and f cannot be continuously extended to U¯. The technique we develop is powerful enough to provide, in the cases (2) and (3) above, large algebraic structures formed by such functions (up to the zero function, of course).
