Removable singularities for analytic functions in the little Zygmund space (Q1686789)

The Zygmund space \(\Lambda_\ast({\mathbb C})\) is defined as the set of complex-valued functions \(f\) in \({\mathbb C}\) which are bounded and such that \[ \|f\|_\ast = \sup_{z,h\in {\mathbb C}} \frac{|f(z+h) + f(z-h) - 2 f(z)|}{2 |h|} < \infty. \] The little Zygmund space \(\lambda_\ast({\mathbb C})\) is the closure in \(\Lambda_\ast({\mathbb C})\) of the set of bounded \({\mathcal C}^{\infty}\) functions. The plane compact set \(\mathbf{K}\) is called removable if it has the property that all functions, analytic outside \(\mathbf{K}\), which belong to some space of functions \(X\) can be extended analytically to the entire plane. The author provides a sharp sufficient condition for the \(\lambda_\ast({\mathbb C})\)-removability in terms of a lower Hausdorff content.
