Multipoint Schwarz-Pick Lemma for the quaternionic case

Abstract

Following ideas by Beardon, Minda and Baribeau, Rivard, Wegert in the context of the complex Schwarz-Pick Lemma, we use iterated hyperbolic difference quotients to prove a quaternionic multipoint Schwarz-Pick Lemma, in the context of the theory of slice regular functions. As applications, we obtain quaternionic Dieudonn\'e and Goluzin estimates. Finally, an algorithm for the construction of (Nevanlinna-Pick) interpolating slice regular functions with real nodes is provided as a byproduct of the quaternionic multipoint Schwarz-Pick Lemma.
