Holomorphic function $F:Bbb Hto Bbb C$ having the bounded sequence ${ir_n}$ as zeros.

Stein and Shakarchi, Complex Analysis, Chapter 8 Problem 5.





  1. Suppose that $F:mathbb{H}tomathbb{C}$ is holomorphic and bounded. Also, suppose
    $F(z)$ vanishes when $z=ir_n$, $n=1,2,3,ldots,$ where ${r_n}$ is
    a bounded sequence of positive numbers. Prove that if $sum r_n=infty$ then $F=0$.

  2. If $sum r_n<infty$, it is possible to construct a bounded function
    on the upper half-plane with zeros precisely at the points $ir_n$.




There is something weird about the first part. If the sequence ${ir_n}$ is infinite then it has a convergent subsequence since it's bounded. Hence the zeros of $F$ accumulate in $Bbb H$ and $F$ is zero. Am I missing something here?

          If ${ir_n}$ accumulates at a point other than $0$, then $F=0$ is trivial as you said. But the problem is requiring you to show that if ${ir_n}$ accumulates at $0$ and the convergence $r_nto 0$ is "slow" enough to make $sum_n r_n =infty$, then $F$ must be $0$. Put differently, if $Fneq 0$ is bounded on the upper half plane and ${z_n}$ are zeros of $F$, then it must be that $Im(z_n)to 0 $ fast enough to make $$
          sum_n Im (z_n)<infty.$$

            That's the trick of this problem. How can we transform the domain into the unit disk without losing analyticity of $F$? (Hint)Maybe you can use $z = frac{aw+b}{cw+d}$ or something like this.

          The sequence $(ir_n)$ accumulates at a point of $mathbb{C}$, but not necessarily at a point of $mathbb{H}$. Indeed, if $r_nto 0$ then they accumulate only at $0$, which is not in $mathbb{H}$.

            The sequence $(ir_n)$ accumulates at a point of $mathbb{C}$, but not necessarily at a point of $mathbb{H}$. Indeed, if $r_nto 0$ then they accumulate only at $0$, which is not in $mathbb{H}$.
