Boundary values of functions in vector-valued Hardy spaces and geometry on Banach spaces (Q1111132)

The spaces of boundary values of vector-valued functions in Hardy spaces defined by either holomorphic functions on the disk or harmonic functions with maximal function in \(L^ p\) are characterized in terms of vector- valued measures of bounded p-variation (sections 1 and 2). Also, the author extends to the case \(p=1\) a characterization of the Radon-Nikodym property based on the existence of limits at the boundary for harmonic functions with maximal function in \(L^ 1\). In the case \(0<p\leq 1\), the author proves that the UMD property is the necessary and sufficient condition to make the spaces defined by maximal function and by conjugate Poisson kernel coincide.
