Division by Flat Ultradifferentiable Functions and Sectorial Extensions

Abstract

We consider classes $ \mathcal{A}_M(S) $ of functions holomorphic in an open plane sector $ S $ and belonging to a strongly non-quasianalytic class on the closure of $ S $. In $ \mathcal{A}_M(S) $, we construct functions which are flat at the vertex of $ S $ with a sharp rate of vanishing. This allows us to obtain a Borel-Ritt type theorem for $ \mathcal{A}_M(S) $ extending previous results by Schmets and Valdivia. We also derive a division property for ideals of flat ultradifferentiable functions, in the spirit of a classical $ C^\infty $ result of Tougeron.
