Poletsky-Stessin-Hardy spaces in the plane (Q2015013)

Recently \textit{E. A. Poletsky} and \textit{M. I. Stessin} [Indiana Univ. Math. J. 57, No. 5, 2153--2201 (2008; Zbl 1160.32008)] introduced Hardy and Bergman spaces on hyperconvex domains in \(\mathbb{C}^n\) and studied their composition operators. The authors introduce the term of Poletsky-Stessin-Hardy spaces for the Hardy spaces defined in the above-mentioned paper and study these spaces in the complex plane. For a domain in complex analysis of one variable, to be hyperconvex means the same as to say that the domain is regular with respect to the Dirichlet problem. The Poletsky-Stessin-Hardy spaces on a regular domain \(G\subset \mathbb{C}\) are defined as the set of all analytic functions on \(G\) that satisfy a certain integral growth condition. The definition involves a fixed subharmonic exhausting function \(u\). When \(G=\mathbb{D}\) and \(u=\log |z|\), one obtains the classical Hardy spaces. The authors completely characterize these spaces by their boundary values and by the existence of a harmonic majorant with a certain growth condition. They show that the Poletsky-Stessin-Hardy spaces are isometrically isomorphic to a subclass of weighted \(L^p\) spaces with respect to a positive measure on the boundary. The authors give a complete characterization of the closed invariant subspaces of the shift operator and show that the Poletsky-Stessin-Hardy space on the disk is a certain multiple of the usual Hardy space.
