Integral comparison theorems for relative Hardy spaces of solutions of the equations \(\Delta u=Pu\) on a Riemann surface (Q791714)

Let R be a hyperbolic Riemann surface. A non-negative Hölder-continuous function P on R is a density if it depends on the local parameter in such a way that the equation \((1)\quad \Delta u=Pu\) is invariantly defined on R. \(C^ 2\)-solutions of (1) are called P-harmonic functions. The Green's function of (1) on R is denoted by \(G^ P\) and the P-elliptic measure by \(e^ P\). If u is a positive P-harmonic function on R then the quotients f/u of P-harmonic functions f by u are called u-P-harmonic functions. A u-P-harmonic function f/u is said to be in the relative Hardy class \(PH^ p_ u(R),\quad 1\leq p<\infty\) if \(| f/u|\) is bounded. If \(P=0\) and \(u=1\) then we get the usual Hardy classes of harmonic functions on R. Let \(R^*_ P\) be the compactification of R with respect to (1) in the sense of Martin. Its ideal boundary is called P-Martin boundary. Let P and Q be different densities satisfying the Nakai's condition, i.e. \(| P-Q|(G^ P(\quad,z_ 0)+G^ Q(\quad,z_ 1))\) is integrable on R for some points \(z_ 0,z_ 1\). Then there exists a measurable transformation between certain subsets of P-Martin and Q-Martin boundaries of R. Using this transformation the author is able to show that if P and Q satisfy Nakai's condition and \(1<p\leq \infty\) then the relative Hardy classes \(PH^ p_ e(R)\) and \(QH^ p_ e(R)\) with respect to the elliptic measures \(e^ P\) and \(e^ Q\) are isometrically isomorphic.
