Integrability of Superharmonic Functions on Plane Domains (Q4024889)

Let \(D\) be a bounded domain in the complex plane. From the main theorem of this paper, the following result follows: If \(D\) is bounded by a finite number of closed Jordan curves and it satisfies an ``interior \(\theta\)-wedge condition'', then any positive superharmonic function on \(D\) belongs to \(L^ p(D)\) for \(0<p<p(\theta)\), where \(p(\theta)=\theta/(1-\theta)\) for \(0<\theta<1/2\), \(=2\theta\) for \(1/2\leq\theta<1\). This is an improvement of a result of \textit{F.-Y. Maeda} and \textit{N. Suzuki} [Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 21, No. 3, 270-278 (1989; Zbl 0645.31005)] for the two dimensional case. The proof of this theorem depends on a distortion theorem for conformal mappings, which is also interesting on its own right. Also, it is shown that if the boundary of \(D\) consists of a finite number of quasicircles, then there is \(p>0\) such that any positive superharmonic function on \(D\) belongs to \(L^ p(D)\).
