Weighted Bergman spaces and the integral means spectrum of conformal mappings (Q1781953): Difference between revisions

The classical theory of conformal mappings involves best possible pointwise estimates of the derivative, thus supplying a measure of the extremal expansion/contraction possible for a conformal mapping \(\varphi\). It is natural to consider also the integral means spectrum of \(| \varphi'| ^t\) along circles \(| z| =r\), \(t\) a real parameter. The extremal growth rate as \(r\rightarrow 1\) of the integral means which follows from the classical pointwise estimates is by far too fast. Better estimates were found by Clunie, Makarov, Pommerenke, Bertilsson, Shimorin, and others. Here the authors introduce a new method -- based on area-type estimates -- which discards as little as possible of the information supplied by the area method. The result is a considerable improvement in the estimates of the integral means spectrum known up to this point.
