Hardy Space - Hardy Spaces For The Upper Half Plane

Hardy Spaces For The Upper Half Plane

It is possible to define Hardy spaces on other domains than the disc, and in many applications Hardy spaces on a complex half-plane (usually the right half-plane or upper half-plane) are used.

The Hardy space on the upper half-plane is defined to be the space of holomorphic functions f on with bounded (quasi-)norm, the norm being given by

The corresponding is defined as functions of bounded norm, with the norm given by

Although the unit disk and the upper half-plane can be mapped to one another by means of Möbius transformations, they are not interchangeable as domains for Hardy spaces. Contributing to this difference is the fact that the unit circle has finite (one-dimensional) Lebesgue measure while the real line does not. However, for H2, one may still state the following theorem: Given the Möbius transformation with

then there is an isometric isomorphism

Famous quotes containing the words hardy, spaces, upper and/or plane:

    “Yet I would bear my shortcomings
    With meet tranquility,
    But for the charge that blessed things
    I’d liefer not have be.
    O, doth a bird deprived of wings
    Go earth-bound wilfully!”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “We should read history as little critically as we consider the landscape, and be more interested by the atmospheric tints and various lights and shades which the intervening spaces create than by its groundwork and composition.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    ““All men live in suffering
    I know as few can know,
    Whether they take the upper road
    Or stay content on the low....””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “with the plane nowhere and her body taking by the throat
    The undying cry of the void falling living beginning to be something
    That no one has ever been and lived through screaming without enough air”
    —James Dickey (b. 1923)
