Besov spaces and outer functions (Q1590895)

Let \(D\) be the open unit disc in the complex plane and \(T\) denote its boundary. The Besov space \(B^s_{pq}\) consists of those \(f\in L^p(T)\) for which the integral of a certain modulus of continuity converges. The author studies the analytic subspace \(AB^s_{pq}= B^s_{pq}\cap H^p\), where \(H^p\) is the Hardy class on \(D\). He finds necessary and sufficient conditions for \(f\in H^p\) to belong to \(AB^s_{pq}\), and he gives conditions on \(p\), \(q\), \(s\) so that every \(f\in AB^s_{pq}\) is the ratio of two bounded members of \(AB^s_{pq}\). The aim of the paper is to characterize the boundary values of the moduli of all \(f\in AB^s_{pq}\), for a certain range of \(p\), \(q\), and \(s\), in terms of the convergence of a suitable integral. His result relies upon recent work of \textit{N. A. Shirokov} [Zap. Nauchn. Sem. POMI 217, 172-217 (1994; Zbl 0877.46032); translation in J. Math. Sci., New York 85, No. 2, 1867-1897 (1997; Zbl 0907.46030)] as well as his own earlier results for the Lipschitz spaces \(B^s_{\infty\infty}\). Some open questions are also raised.
