Bounded analytic families of Cauchy-Stieltjes integrals (Q1801928)

The authors continue earlier work on analytic functions \(f(z)\) defined in the unit disk \(\Delta\) which have the representation \[ f(z)=\int_{\partial\Delta}(1-xz)^{-\alpha}d\mu(x) \] for some finite Borel measure \(\mu\). In this earlier work, it was assumed that \(\alpha>0\), and this class is called \(\mathcal F_ \alpha\). The authors give an alternative description of this class which allows consideration for all real \(\alpha\): we have that the above representation of \(f\) is equivalent to \[ f(z)=f(0)+\int_{\partial\Delta} G_ \alpha(xz)d\mu(x) \] with \(\mu\) as above and \(G_ \alpha(z)=\sum n^{\alpha-1} z^ n\). This equivalence allows some results to be extended to all \(\alpha\) for the classes \(\mathcal F_ \alpha\). When \(\alpha<0\), membership in \(\mathcal F_ \alpha\) is shown to be equivalent to smoothness of an appropriate derivative of \(f\) on \(\partial\Delta\). Partial results concerning multipliers of \(\mathcal F_ \alpha\) are also obtained.
