The Corona Problem for Slice Holomorphic Functions via the Matrix Corona Problem

In this paper we prove the Corona theorem for slice hyperholomorphic functions in a general way that applies to functions with values in a Clifford algebra ${\mathbb{R}}_n$ for any $n\ge 2$. This general proof is based on a matrix version of Corona’s theorem and then exploiting some symmetries of the matrices that allow to reconstruct the values of the functions. The crucial idea is to tie together the algebra of the functions, the Bezout identities and the Carleson-type conditions. The results we obtain rest on a new way of writing the slice product which improves the standard approach and which holds in general dimension.
