A uniqueness theorem and the Myberg phenomenon (Q1283055)

The authors continue their studies on bounded holomorphic functions on Riemann surfaces [see for example Pac. J. Math 134, 261-73 (1988; Zbl 0627.30031); Pitman Res. Notes Math. Sci. 212, 1-12 (1989; Zbl 0698.30036); Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 333, No. 2, 799-819 (1992; Zbl 0759.30018)]. Let \(H^{\infty}(W)\) be the space of bounded holomorphic functions on a Riemann surface \(W\) and \(\widetilde W\) an unlimited covering surface of \(W\) with projection map \(\varphi\). The \textsl{Myrberg} phenomenon is said to occur if \(H^{\infty}(\widetilde W)=H^{\infty}(W) \circ \varphi\). A \textsl{Zalcman domain} \(R\) is a subdomain of the punctured unit disc obtained by deleting a sequence of disjoint discs converging to \(0\) with centers on the positive real axis. Let \((\widetilde R , R, \varphi)\) be the unlimited two-sheeted covering surface of \(R\) with projection map \(\varphi\). In previous papers, the authors proves that the irregularity of \(z=0\) for the region \(R\) (in the sense of potential theory) is sufficient for the Myrberg phenomenon to occur for \((\widetilde R , R, \varphi)\). The main purpose of the present paper is to prove that this sufficient condition is not necessary. The well written paper contains numerous ideas for further development of the theory.
