Note on the Wiener compactification and the \(H^ p\)-space of harmonic functions (Q792491)

Let R be a hyperbolic Riemann surface, and denote by HB(R) (resp. HB'(R)) the class of all bounded harmonic (resp. quasibounded harmonic) functions on R. For \(1<p<\infty\) denote by \(H^ p(R)\) the Hardy space of all harmonic functions u on R such that \(| u|^ p\) has a harmonic majorant. It is well known that \(HB(R)\subseteq H^ p(R)\subseteq HB'(R),\) and that if \(\dim HB(R)<\infty,\) then \(HB(R)=H^ p(R)=HB'(R).\) In the present paper, it is shown that if any two of the classes HB(R), \(H^ p(R)\), and HB'(R) coincide, then necessarily \(\dim HB(R)<\infty,\) for \(1<p<\infty.\)
