Some results of BMOH for compact bordered Riemann surfaces (Q1322683)

When \(D\) is the unit disk \(\text{BMOH}(D)\) consists of functions harmonic in \(D\) whose boundary values have bounded mean oscillation on the circle in the sense of John and Nirenberg. Among the many characterizations of \(\text{BMOH}(D)\) is one involving Green potentials on \(D\). \textit{T. Metzger} (1981) defined BMO for Riemann surfaces \(W\) in terms of Green potentials on \(W\). \textit{H. Leutwiler} [Complex analysis, Artic. dedicated to Albert Pfluger, 158-179 (1988; Zbl 0672.31007)] considered functions harmonic in a domain in \(\mathbb{R}^ n\), and defined a notion of BMO in terms of least harmonic majorants of \(h- h(x_ 0)\). The present authors adopt Leutwiler's approach to define \(\text{BMOH}(W)\) when \(W\) is a compact bordered Riemann surface. They prove a John- Nirenberg type theorem for their functions, and also characterize them in terms of pullbacks to the disk by the universal covering map, from which one sees that their harmonic BMO functions coincide with Metzger's. Finally, they establish a relation between the \(\text{BMOH}(W)\) spaces and certain Banach spaces, called Ba spaces, which were introduced by Ding Xia-qui and Luo Pei-zhu.
