Radial averaging operator acting on Bergman and Lebesgue spaces (Q2317903)

Let \(\mathbb{D}\) denote the open unit disk in the complex plane, and let \(A^p(\mathbb{D})\) denote the Bergman space consisting of all holomorphic functions in the open unit disk for which the integral \[ \int_{\mathbb{D}}|f(z)|^pdA(z) \] is finite, where \(dA(z)\) is the usual area measure in the complex plane. The Bergman space is a closed subspace of the Lebesgue space \(L^p(\mathbb{D}, dA)\). A positive measurable function \(w\) on the open unit disk is called a weight function. A weight is said to be radial if \(w(z)=w(|z|)\). A weighted Bergman space is the one in which the area measure \(dA\) is replaced by some \(wdA\). It is well known that a number of properties of the weighted Bergman spaces depend on the weight function; properties like the density of polynomials, the boundedness of the evaluation functional, and so on. In the paper under review the authors study the operator \(T_w:A^p(\mathbb{D}, \nu dA)\to L^p(\mathbb{D},\nu dA)\) defined by \[ T_w(f)(z)=\frac{\int_{|z|}^1 f\left(s\frac{z}{|z|}\right)w(s)ds}{\widehat{w}(z)}, \] where for a radial weight \(w\), \[ \widehat{w}(z)=\int_{|z|}^1 w(s)ds. \] Let \(p\) be a positive number, and let the radial weight \(\nu\) satisfy the following condition: \[ \widehat{\nu}(r)\le C\,\widehat{\nu}\left(\frac{1+r}{2}\right),\quad 0\le r<1, \] for some constant \(C\). The main result of the paper under review, Theorem 1.1, states that \(T_w\) is bounded if and only if \[ \sup_{0\le r<1}\frac{\widehat{w}(r)^p}{\int_r^1 s\nu (s)ds}\int_0^r\frac{t\nu(t)}{\widehat{w}(t)^p}dt <\infty. \] Finally, some weak-type inequalities are derived.
