We explore the geometry of nowhere vanishing, point separating sub-algebras of $ \\mathcal{H}ol(\\Gamma \\cup \\text{Int}(\\Gamma)) $. We characterize the extreme points and the exposed points of the unit balls of the said sub-algebras. We also characterize the smoothness of an element in these sub-algebras by using Birkhoff-James orthogonality techniques. As a culmination of our study, we assimilate the geometry of the aforesaid sub-algebras with some classical concepts of complex analysis and establish a connection between Birkhoff-James orthogonality and zeros of holomorphic functions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-03-28T17:53:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46B20", "32A60" ], "keywords": [ "point separating sub-algebras", "holomorphic functions", "birkhoff-james orthogonality techniques", "extreme points", "unit balls" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
