Describing Blaschke products by their critical points
A celebrated theorem of M.~Heins says that up to post-composition with a M\"obius transformation, a finite Blaschke product is uniquely determined by its critical points. K.~Dyakonov suggested that it may interesting to extend this result to infinite degree, however, one needs to be careful since inner functions may have identical critical sets.
Let J be the set of inner functions whose derivative lies in the Nevanlinna class. I will explain that an inner function in J is uniquely determined by the inner part of its derivative (its critical structure), and describe all possible critical structures of inner functions in J. Alternatively, one may try to parameterize inner functions by 1-generated invariant subspaces of the weighted Bergman space A21. Our technique is based on the Liouville correspondence which provides a bridge between complex analysis and non-linear elliptic PDE.
