Inner Functions in Lipschitz, Besov, and Sobolev Spaces

Abstract EN

We study the membership of inner functions in Besov, Lipschitz, and Hardy-Sobolev spaces, finding conditions that enable an inner function to be in one of these spaces.

Several results in this direction are given that complement or extend previous works on the subject from different authors.

In particular, we prove that the only inner functions in either any of the Hardy-Sobolev spaces Hαp with 1/p≤α<∞ or any of the Besov spaces Bαp, q with 0

Our assertion for the spaces B0∞,q, 0

We prove also that for 2

Furthermore, we obtain distinct results for other values of α relating the membership of an inner function I in the spaces under consideration with the distribution of the sequences of preimages {I-1(a)}, |a|<1.

In addition, we include a section devoted to Blaschke products with zeros in a Stolz angle.
