The holomorphic extension of a Stieltjes function #
A Stieltjes representation
f(t) = a / t + b + ∫ x, (t + x)⁻¹ ∂μ
makes sense for every complex z off the closed negative half-axis: on the slit plane
ℂ ∖ (-∞, 0] the kernel (z + x)⁻¹ is dominated by a multiple of the Stieltjes weight
(1 + x)⁻¹, locally uniformly in z. The resulting complex Stieltjes transform
TauCeti.stieltjesExtension μ a b is holomorphic on the slit plane, restricts to f on
(0, ∞), is symmetric under complex conjugation, and has imaginary part
Im F(z) = -Im z * (a / |z|² + ∫ x, |z + x|⁻² ∂μ),
so that Im z * Im F(z) ≤ 0: a Stieltjes function extends to a holomorphic function mapping the
upper half-plane into the closed lower half-plane. Multiplying by z, a complete Bernstein
function extends holomorphically to the slit plane with 0 ≤ Im z * Im G(z), i.e. to a Pick
function. These are the forward halves of the analytic characterizations of Stieltjes and
complete Bernstein functions. By the identity theorem, the extension is the only holomorphic
function on the slit plane that agrees with f on (0, ∞).

The complex Stieltjes kernel (z + x)⁻¹ is integrable against a measure carrying an
integrable Stieltjes weight, at every point z of the slit plane.
The complex Stieltjes integral is complex differentiable on the slit plane, with derivative
-∫ x, (z + x)⁻² ∂μ.
The complex Stieltjes transform of representing data μ, a, b:
z ↦ a / z + b + ∫ x, (z + x)⁻¹ ∂μ. It is meaningful on the slit plane ℂ ∖ (-∞, 0], where it
is the holomorphic extension of the Stieltjes function represented by μ, a, b.
Instances For
The complex Stieltjes transform is complex differentiable at every point of the slit plane,
with derivative -a / z² - ∫ x, (z + x)⁻² ∂μ.
The complex Stieltjes transform is complex differentiable on the slit plane.
The complex Stieltjes transform is holomorphic on the slit plane.
The complex Stieltjes transform commutes with complex conjugation.
The imaginary part of the complex Stieltjes transform:
Im F(z) = -Im z * (a / |z|² + ∫ x, |z + x|⁻² ∂μ) on the slit plane.
A Stieltjes transform maps the upper half-plane into the closed lower half-plane, and the
lower half-plane into the closed upper one: Im z * Im F(z) ≤ 0 on the slit plane.
The imaginary part of z times the complex Stieltjes transform:
Im (z F(z)) = Im z * (b + ∫ x, x / |z + x|² ∂μ) on the slit plane.
Im z * Im (z F(z)) ≥ 0 on the slit plane: z ↦ z F(z) maps the upper half-plane into the
closed upper half-plane.
The complex Stieltjes transform vanishes only for zero data. At a point of the slit
plane, a / z + b + ∫ x, (z + x)⁻¹ ∂μ is zero exactly when a, b and μ all are.
The complex Stieltjes transform of a Stieltjes representation of f extends f: it agrees
with f on (0, ∞).
Uniqueness of the holomorphic extension. A function holomorphic on the slit plane that
agrees on (0, ∞) with a represented Stieltjes function is its complex Stieltjes transform.
A Stieltjes function extends holomorphically to the slit plane ℂ ∖ (-∞, 0], and the
extension satisfies Im z * Im F(z) ≤ 0: it maps the upper half-plane into the closed lower
half-plane.
On (0, ∞) a complete Bernstein function is t times the complex Stieltjes transform of its
representing data.
A complete Bernstein function extends holomorphically to the slit plane ℂ ∖ (-∞, 0],
and the extension satisfies 0 ≤ Im z * Im G(z): it maps the upper half-plane into the closed
upper half-plane.
