Revisiting cyclic elements in growth spaces

Abstract

We revisit the problem of characterizing cyclic elements for the shift operator in a broad class of radial growth spaces of holomorphic functions on the unit disk, focusing on functions of finite Nevanlinna characteristic. We provide results in the range of Dini regular weights, and in the regime of logarithmic integral divergence. Our proofs are largely constructive and allow for substantial simplifications of earlier works that previously relied on the Carleson Corona Theorem, such as the Korenblum–Roberts Theorem, as well as a more recent result of El-Fallah, Kellay and Seip.
