No label defined (Q4938732)

Based on the Introduction: At the end of the 80's, the theory of interpolation of \(H^p\) spaces seemed to be finished in the main. However, some more recent events have led to revision (at least partial) of the theory. Surprisingly, the new methods have turned out to be interesting and meaningful already for the classical Hardy spaces of functions analytic in the disc. Probably, the main feature of this revised attitude towards the interpolation of \(H^p\)-spaces is the understanding that a right question here is the question of \(K\)-closedness rather than of various specific interpolation theorems. For the first time, this was clearly articulated by \textit{G. Pisier} [Pac. J. Math. 155, No. 2, 341-368 (1992; Zbl 0782.46055); Rev. Mat. Iberoam. 9, No. 2, 281-291 (1993; Zbl 0788.46071); Mich. Math. J. 39, No. 3, 475-484 (1992; Zbl 0787.47021)]. Roughly speaking, in this survey I want to convince the reader of two theses: 1) for \(H^p\)-like spaces, \(K\)-closedness is an easy matter, and 2) there is good evidence that for such spaces there should remain not too much interpolation in general beyond the property of \(K\)-closedness. It should also be noted that the material has been selected in accordance with the author's personal taste, so that many (old and recent) things pertaining to the interpolation of Hardy spaces are even not mentioned here.
