Weak trace measures on Hardy-Sobolev spaces (Q395047)

Let \(H_s^p\) be the Hardy-Sobolev spaces on \(B^n\), the unit ball of \(\mathbb C^n\). If \(f\) is a function on \(B^n\) and \(S^n\) is the unit sphere, let \(M | f | (\zeta) := \sup_{0 < \rho <1} | f(\rho \zeta)| \), \(\zeta \in S^n\), be the radial maximal function. We say that a non-negative Borel measure on \(S^n\) is a trace measure for \(H_s^p\) if NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \| M{ | f | }\|_{L^p(d\mu)} \leq C \| f \|_{H_s^p}. NEWLINE\]NEWLINE When \(p \leq 1\), \textit{P. Ahern} [Mich. Math. J. 35, No. 1, 29--41 (1988; Zbl 0668.32006)] characterized the trace measures for \(H_s^p\). If \(p>1\) and \(n-1 < sp <n\), \textit{W. S. Cohn} and \textit{I. E. Verbitsky} [Indiana Univ. Math. J. 43, No. 4, 1079--1097 (1994; Zbl 0846.32007)] characterized them in terms of non-isotropic Riesz capacities.NEWLINENEWLINEThe authors give a characterization of the weak trace measures. We say that \(\mu\) is a weak trace measure for \(H_s^p\) if NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \| M{ | f | }\|_{L^{p, \infty}(d\mu)} \leq C \| f \|_{H_s^p}. NEWLINE\]NEWLINE They prove the following result. Let \(1<p<\infty\), \(0<sp<n\). The measure \(\mu\) is a weak trace measure for \(H_s^p\) if and only if \(\mu\) satisfies the following two conditions.
