A rigidity theorem for holomorphic generators on the Hilbert ball

Abstract

We present a rigidity property of holomorphic generators on the open unit ball $\mathbb{B}$ of a Hilbert space $H$. Namely, if $f\in\Hol (\mathbb{B},H)$ is the generator of a one-parameter continuous semigroup ${F_t}_{t\geq 0}$ on $\mathbb{B}$ such that for some boundary point $\tau\in \partial\mathbb{B}$, the admissible limit $K$-$\lim\limits_{z\to\tau}\frac{f(x)}{\|x-\tau\|^{3}}=0$, then $f$ vanishes identically on $\mathbb{B}$.
