Critical points of Green's function, harmonic measure, and the corona problem (Q1073957): Difference between revisions

It is still an open problem if the corona theorem is true for arbitrary planar domains G, i.e. for the space \(H^{\infty}(G)\) of all bounded holomorphic functions on G. Carleson gave in 1980 an affirmative answer for a special class of planar domains of the form \(G={\mathbb{C}}\setminus E\), where E is a homogeneous subset of \({\mathbb{R}}\). The heart of the paper under review consist of a discussion and a presentation of a new proof of Carleson's result. Author's remark: In the meantime a paper of \textit{J. Garnett} and the first author appeared [Acta Math. 155, 27-40 (1985; Zbl 0578.30043)] in which the corona theorem is proven for all Denjoy domains. The techniques are quite different from those used in the paper under review.
