13 - Hardy Spaces and Holomorphy

Summary

We study the relationship between Hardy spaces of functions on the polytorus and certain spaces of holomorphic functions. We deal first with functions in finitely many variables, and later we jump to the infinite dimensional setting. For each N we consider the space of holomorphic functions g on the N-dimensional polydisc for which the L_p norms of g(rz) for 0<r<1 are bounded (known as the Hardy space of holomorphic functions). For each p these two Hardy spaces (of integrable functions on the N-dimensional polytorus and the N-dimensional polydisc) are isometrically isomorphic. The main tool in the proof is the Poisson operator (defined in Chapter 5). For the infinite dimensional case, we define the space of holomorphic functions g on l_2 ∩ Bc0 whose restrictions to the first N variables all belong to the corresponding Hardy space, and the norms are uniformly bounded (in N). These Hardy spaces of holomorphic functions on l_2 ∩ Bc0 and the Hardy spaces of integrable functions on the infinite-dimensional polytorus are isometrically isomorphic. The jump is given using a Hilbert criterion for Hardy spaces.
