Stability of convex functionals on weighted Bergman spaces with applications

Abstract: Recently, Kulikov (\cite{Ku}) has shown that certain convex functionals on weighted Bergman spaces are maximized by reproducing kernels. We prove that the same functionals hves near-maximal values for functions that are close to reproducing kernels. This is proved in a quantitative sense where both the norm and the exponent are optimal and the constant is explicit. We give several applications and some relevant examples.
