A Sharp Entropy Condition For The Density Of Angular Derivatives

Abstract

Let $f$ be a holomorphic self-map of the unit disc. We show that if $\log (1-|f(z)|)$ is integrable on a sub-arc of the unit circle, $I$, then the set of points where the function f has finite Carathéodory angular derivative on I is a countable union of Beurling-Carleson sets of finite entropy. Conversely, given a countable union of Beurling-Carleson sets, $E$, we construct a holomorphic self-map of the unit disc, $f$, such that the set of points where the function has finite Carathéodory angular derivative is equal to $E$ and $\log (1-|f(z)|)$ is integrable on the unit circle. Our main technical tools are the Aleksandrov disintegration Theorem and a characterization of countable unions of Beurling-Carleson sets due to Makarov and Nikolski.
