On Strongly Normal Functions

A function \(f\) meromorphic in the unit disc \(D=\{z\mid|z|<1\}\) is strongly normal if \((1-|z|^2)f^\#(z)\to 0\) as \(z\) approaches the boundary of \(D\) (where \(f^\#\) denotes the spherical derivative of \(f\)). Let \(\Aut(D)\) denote the collection of all one-to-one conformal mappings of \(D\) onto itself. The authors prove (1) if a meromorphic function \(f\) in \(D\) is strongly normal, then for every sequence \(\{\gamma_n\}\) in \(\Aut(D)\) there is a subsequence \(\{\gamma_{n_k}\}\) such that \(\{f(\gamma_{n_k}(z))\}\) converges, locally uniformly in \(D\), to either \(f(\gamma_0(z))\), where \(\gamma_0\) is in \(\Aut(D)\) or a constant identically; and (2) if \(f\) is a meromorphic function in \(D\) for which \(\int \int_D\{f^\#(z)\}^2dx dy<\infty\), then \(f\) is strongly normal. The authors also define harmonic strongly normal functions and define strongly normal with respect to \(\Gamma\) for functions which are either meromorphic or harmonic, and automorphic with respect to a Fuchsian group \(\Gamma\). Analogous results to those noted above are proved for these latter classes of functions.
