  1. We analyze metrics for how close an entire function of genus one is to having only real roots. These metrics arise from truncated Hankel matrix positivity-type conditions built from power series coefficients at each real point. Specifically, if such a function satisfies our positivity conditions and has well-spaced zeros, we show that all of its zeros have to (in some explicitly quantified sense) be far away from the real axis. The obvious interesting example arises from the Riemann zeta function, where our positivity conditions yield a family of relaxations of the Riemann hypothesis. One might guess that as we tighten our relaxation, the zeros of the zeta function must be close to the critical line. We show that the opposite occurs: any poten- tial non-real zeros are forced to be farther and farther away from the critical line.

  2. Abstract In this paper, we give formulas that allow one to move between transfer function type realizations of multi-variate Schur, Herglotz, and Pick functions, without adding additional singularities except perhaps poles coming from the conformal transformation itself. In the two-variable commutative case, we use a canonical de Branges–Rovnyak model theory to obtain concrete realizations that analytically continue through the boundary for inner functions that are rational in one of the variables (so-called quasi-rational functions). We then establish a positive solution to McCarthy’s Champagne conjecture for local to global matrix monotonicity in the settings of both two-variable quasi-rational functions and $$d$$-variable perspective functions.
