Abstract:In this paper, we establish several results related to Crouzeixs conjecture. We show that the conjecture holds for contractions with eigenvalues that are sufficiently well-separated. This separation is measured by the so-called separation constant, which is defined in terms of the pseudohyperbolic metric. Moreover, we study general properties of related extremal functions and associated vectors. Throughout, compressions of the shift serve as illustrating examples which also allow for refined results.
