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

    “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!”

    “Surely you wouldn’t grudge the poor old man
    Some humble way to save his self-respect.
    He added, if you really care to know,
    He meant to clear the upper pasture, too.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “In time the scouring of wind and rain will wear down the ranges and plane off the region until it has the drab monotony of the older deserts. In the meantime—a two-million-year meantime—travelers may enjoy the cruel beauties of a desert in its youth,....”
