A note on connectedness of Blaschke products

Abstract: Consider the space $\mathcal{F}$ of all inner functions on the unit open disk under the uniform topology, which is a metric topology induced by the $H^{\infty}$-norm. In the present paper, a class of Blaschke products, denoted by $\mathcal{H}{SC}$, is introduced. We prove that for each $B\in\mathcal{H}{SC}$, $B$ and $zB$ belong to the same path-connected component of $\mathcal{F}$. It plays an important role of a method to select a fine subsequence of zeros. As a byproduct, we obtain that each Blaschke product in $\mathcal{H}_{SC}$ has an interpolating and one-component factor.
