Pick functions in Cayley coordinates #
A Pick function is holomorphic on the upper half-plane and has nonnegative imaginary part there.
The Cayley coordinate z ↦ (z - i) / (z + i) carries the upper half-plane to the unit disc,
and multiplication by -i carries nonnegative imaginary part to nonnegative real part. The
Herglotz representation on the disc therefore gives
F z = i · ∫ ζ, (ζ + w) / (ζ - w) ∂μ(ζ) + Re F(i),
where w = (z - i) / (z + i) and μ is a finite positive measure on the unit circle. The
converse holds as well. This is the Cayley-coordinate form of the Pick representation; moving
the circle measure to the real line gives the usual Nevanlinna representation.

Cayley-coordinate Herglotz representation of a Pick function. A function holomorphic on
the upper half-plane with nonnegative imaginary part is, after the Cayley coordinate
z ↦ (z - i) / (z + i), i times the Herglotz transform of a finite positive measure on the
unit circle, plus the real constant Re F(i).
