Criterion of Wiener type for minimal thinness on covering surfaces (Q676753)

Let \(W\) be an \(r\)-sheeted unlimited covering surface of the punctured disk \(D \backslash \{0\}\), \(W^*=W \cup\partial W \cup\Delta\) be the Martin compactification of \(W\), where \(\Delta\) is the ideal boundary of \(W\cup \partial W\). Let \(\Delta_1= \{\xi_1, \dots, \xi_m\}\) \((1\leq m\leq r)\) be the set of minimal points in \(\Delta\), and let \(k_j\) be the Martin function with pole at \(\xi_j\). A Wiener type criterion is obtained for minimal thinness of a subset \(E\subset W\) at \(\xi_j\in \Delta_1\) in terms of the outer Green capacities of portions of the set \(E\) determined by the Martin function \(k_j\).
