Function classes on the unit disc. An introduction (Q5920203)

The book is a clear and rigorous study of function spaces on the unit disc. The main topics include Hardy, Bergman, Besov, Lipschitz and Lebesgue spaces. In this second edition, new results are included, some of the former text is removed, the order of chapters is changed and the bibliography is updated. The topics covered in the thirteen chapters of the book are as follows. The first chapter deals with basic properties of the Poisson integral and Hardy spaces. Among the results contained in this chapter are Fatou's theorem on radial limits, the Privalov-Plessner theorem on the radial limits of the conjugate function, the Riesz projection theorem. Chapter 2 provides a concise summary on subharmonic functions, such as the maximum principle, properties of integral means, the existence of the Riesz measure and the Riesz representation formula for subharmonic functions, Hardy-Stein identities. Section 7 deals with the subordination principle and Littlewood's proof of this principle. Sections 1 and 2 of the third chapter are devoted to quasinearly subharmonic functions and regularly oscillating functions. The remainder of Chapter 3 is dedicated to mixed-norm spaces and Bergman type spaces. Chapter 4 is devoted to spaces with nonstandard weights such as Bergman spaces with rapidly decreasing weights and mixed norm spaces with subnormal weights. Chapter 5 is dedicated to the Hardy-Littlewood inequality for the Taylor coefficients of \(H^p\) functions. Applications of this and other inequalities to the partial sums and Cesàro means of Taylor series are also presented. Chapter 6 provides a detailed exposition of Besov and Hardy-Sobolev spaces. Special attention is given to decomposition properties, duality results and embedding theorems between Hardy and Besov spaces. The first two sections of chapter 7 are dedicated to BMOA-spaces and the theorems of Garcia and Fefferman. Properties of vanishing mean oscillation functions, the coefficients of BMOA-functions, Bloch spaces and the mean growth of \(H^p\)-Bloch functions are considered in the next sections. In Section 8 of this chapter recent results on compact composition operators on Bloch spaces and BMOA-spaces are presented. Basic properties of Lipschitz spaces of first order are given in Chapter 8. Lipschitz spaces of higher order are considered in Chapter 9. Among the topics presented here are Lipschitz spaces and spaces of harmonic functions, integrated mean Lipschitz spaces, the Poisson integral and moduli of Lipschitz functions. Chapter 10 contains a detailed study of Littlewood-Paley theory including among others the Littlewood-Paley g-theorem, Oswald's results on generalized g-functions, a generalized version of the Luzin area theorem, Littlewood-Paley inequalities for subharmonic functions and integration operators on Hardy spaces. The last section is dedicated to Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. Chapter 11 is devoted entirely to univalent functions. Special attention is given to distortion theorems due to Koebe, quasiconformal harmonic mappings and the \(H^p\) theory for quasiconformal harmonic mappings. In the first part of Chapter 12 some results concerning multipliers on abstract spaces are presented. The second part is dedicated to multipliers for Hardy and Bergman spaces as well as multipliers between Besov spaces. The main topics of Chapter 13 are Jackson spaces, duality for Bergman spaces and multipliers on spaces with subnormal weights. Each chapter ends with relevant notes and results for further investigation. The book contains three appendices, where basic results are presented concerning quasi-Banach spaces (Appendix A), bounded vector-valued analytic functions (Appendix B) as well as interpolation theorems and maximal functions (Appendix C). An extensive list of references is given at the end of the book.
