Uniqueness results for the Riemann-Hilbert problem with a vanishing coefficient (Q2509111)

Let \(H^p\) be the Hardy space over the unit disk. The authors study the uniqueness of solutions of the following Riemann-Hilbert problem: find \(\varphi,\psi\in H^p\), \(1< p< \infty\), such that \(\varphi^*= a\overline\psi^*+ f\), where \(a: \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{C}\) is a given \(2\pi\)-periodic continuous function and \(f\) is a given \(2\pi\)-periodic locally \(p\)th-power summable function. In other words, the goal of the authors is to establish nonexistence of nontrivial solutions of \(\varphi^*= a\overline\Psi^*\) under suitable restriction of \(a\). Here for a given \(f\in H^p\), \(f^*(t):= \lim_{r\to 1}f(re^{it})\), \(t\in\mathbb{R}\).
