The Hardy number and the Bergman number of a planar domain are equal

Abstract

This article deals with functions with a prefixed range and their inclusion in Hardy and weighted Bergman spaces. This idea was originally introduced by Hansen for Hardy spaces, and it was recently taken into weighted Bergman spaces by Karafyllia and Karamanlis. In particular, we improve a theorem of Karafyllia showing that the Hardy and Bergman numbers of any given domain coincide, that is, the Hardy and weighted Bergman spaces to which a function with prefixed range belongs can be related. The main tools in the proofs are the Green function of the domain and its universal covering map.

The proof of Lemma 3.4 contains a mistake. This lemma is fundamental to deduce the main theorems in the article
