Non-tangential limits of Bloch functions (Q934546)

The aim of the article is to extend Hall's theorem to Bloch functions. Hall's theorem states that if \(f\in H^{\infty}\), where \(H^{\infty}\) is the space of all bounded analytic functions in the unit disc \(\mathbb{D}\), \(\xi\in\partial\mathbb{D}\) and \(\lim_{r\rightarrow0}m(r,\xi,f)=0\), then \(f\) has the non-tangential limit 0 at \(\xi\), where \[ m(r,\xi,f)=\inf_{z\in C_{r,\xi}}|f(z)|. \eqno(1) \] A function \(f\) is said to be a Bloch function if \(f\) is analytic in \(\mathbb{D}\) and satisfies \[ \sup_{z\in\mathbb{D}}(1-|z|^2)|f'(z)|<\infty. \] The space of all Bloch functions will be denoted by \(\mathcal{B}\). Obviously, \(H^{\infty}\subset\mathcal{B}\). The result proved in this paper is that a function \(f\) in the ``little Bloch space'' \(\mathcal{B}_{0}\) (i.e., \(f\) is analytic in \(\mathbb{D}\) and \(\sup_{z\in\mathbb{D}}(1-|z|^2)|f'(z)|=0\)) has the non-tangential limit \(0\) at a point \(\xi\) with \(|\xi|=1\), provided \(\lim_{r\rightarrow0}m_{+}(r,\xi,f)=0\), where \[ m_{+}(r,\xi,f)=\inf_{z\in C^{+}_{r,\xi}}|f(z)|. \eqno(2) \] Since \(C^{+}_{r,\xi}\) in (2) is the right-half of \(C_{r,\xi}\) in (1), the result of this paper can be viewed as an ``one-side'' theorem of Hall type for the space \(\mathcal{B}_{0}\). At the end the author asks whether this is also the case if \(f\in\mathcal{B}\) and \[ m(r,\xi,f')=O(1)\;\;\text{as}\;r\rightarrow 0. \]
