Clark Measures Associated with Rational Inner Functions on Bounded Symmetric Domains

Abstract: Given a bounded symmetric domain $D$ in $\mathbb C^n$, we consider the Clark measures $\mu_\alpha$, $\alpha\in \mathbb T$, associated with a rational inner function $\varphi$ from $D$ into the unit disc in $\mathbb C$. We show that $\mu_\alpha=c|\nabla \varphi|^{-1}\chi_{\mathrm b D \cap \varphi^{-1}(\alpha)}\cdot \mathcal H^{m-1}$, where $m$ is the dimension of the Shilov boundary $\mathrm b D$ of $D$ and $c$ is a suitable constant. Denoting with $H^2(\mu_\alpha)$ the closure of the space of holomorphic polynomials in $L^2(\mu_\alpha)$, we characterize the $\alpha$ for which $H^2(\mu_\alpha)=L^2(\mu_\alpha)$ when $D$ is a polydisc; we also provide some necessary and some sufficient conditions for general domains.
