## Some properties of weighted hyperbolic polynomials.(English)Zbl 0844.30027

The author studies relations between transfinite diametres, Chebyshev constants and equilibrium potentials of compact subsets of the unit disk $$U$$ with respect to the “distance”
$$\frac{|z- \zeta|}{|1- z\overline\zeta|} w(z) w(\zeta)$$, where $$w$$ is a positive function such that $$\log w$$ is continuous on $$U$$.
He uses methods which imitate those of earlier papers [see e.g. H. N. Maskhar and E. B. Saff, Constructive Approximation 8, No. 1, 105-124 (1992; Zbl 0747.31001)], where such problems were studied for compact subsets of the complex plane with respect to the “distance” $$|z- \zeta|w(z) w(\zeta)$$.
{Reviewer’s remark: Proposition 3.1 of the paper is not true. Indeed, take $$w(z):= \max\{|z|, \varepsilon\}$$, where $$0< \varepsilon< \frac 15$$ and let $$E:= \{|z|= \frac 12\}$$. Then $$\text{Chh}(w, E)\leq \varepsilon/4\leq \frac 1{20}$$ and $$\text{Trh}(w, E)\geq 1/16$$, which shows that the hyperbolic transfinite diameter of $$E$$ is different from the hyperbolic Chebyshev constant of $$E$$, contrary to the claim of the Proposition 3.1.}.
