Review text

Let \(\Delta\) be the unit disk in the complex plane and let \(g(z,a)\) be the Green function of \(\Delta\) with logarithmic singularity at \(a\). For a meromorphic function \(f\) defined in \(\Delta\) the spherical derivative of \(f\) is \(f^{\#}(z)=| f'(z)| /(1+| f(z)| ^2)\). For \(0<p<\infty\), \(Q_p^{\#}\) is the class of meromorphic functions \(f\) satisfying \(\sup_{a\in\Delta}\iint_{\Delta}(f^{\#}(z))^2g^p(z,a)\,dA(z)<\infty\). Correspondingly, a meromorphic function \(f\in Q_{p,0}^{\#}\) if \(\lim_{| z| \to1}\iint_{\Delta}(f^{\#}(z))^2g^p(z,a)\,dA(z)=0\). In this paper the author gives sufficient and necessary conditions for the quotient \(f=f_1/f_2\) of two bounded analytic functions \(f_1\) and \(f_2\) to belong to \(Q_p^{\#}\) and \(Q_{p,0}^{\#}\). It is also proved that there exists a class \(X\) of meromorphic functions on \(\Delta\) such that \(Q_1^{\#}\subsetneq X\subsetneq N\), where \(N\) is a class of normal functions. This answers the question stated in the literature. Further, new characterizations of \(Q_p^{\#}\) functions, similar to characterizations of \(Q_p\) functions proved by \textit{K. Dyakonov} and \textit{D. Girela} [Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn. Math. 25, No. 2, 477--486 (2000; Zbl 0957.30023)], are given. These are also extended to subharmonic functions.
