Characterizations of Symmetrized Polydisc

Abstract

Let $Γ_n$, $n \geq 2$, denote the symmetrized polydisc in $\mathbb{C}^n$, and $Γ_1$ be the closed unit disc in $\mathbb{C}$. We provide some characterizations of elements in $Γ_n$. In particular, an element $(s_1, \ldots, s_{n-1}, p) \in \mathbb{C}^n$ is in $Γ_n$ if and only if $s_j = β_j + \overline{β_{n-j}} p$, $j = 1, \ldots, n-1$, for some $(β_1, \ldots, β_{n-1}) \in Γ_{n-1}$, and $|p| \leq 1$.
