Bounds on Integral Means of Bergman Projections and their Derivatives

TL;DR

This paper establishes bounds on integral means of Bergman projections and their derivatives, linking these to the original functions' properties, with implications for regularity and boundary behavior in Bergman spaces.

Contribution

It provides new bounds on integral means of Bergman projections and derivatives, and explores their implications for regularity, boundary behavior, and extremal problems in Bergman spaces.

Findings

Bergman projection is bounded on Sobolev spaces W^{k,p} for 1<p<∞.

Derived bounds relate integral means of projections to original functions.

Constructed a boundary-approaching function with non-H^2 Bergman projection.

Abstract

We bound integral means of the Bergman projection of a function in terms of integral means of the original function. As an application of these results, we bound certain weighted Bergman space norms of derivatives of Bergman projections in terms of weighted $L^p$ norms of certain derivatives of the original function in the $\theta$ direction. These results easily imply the well known result that the Bergman projection is bounded from the Sobolev space $W^{k,p}$ into itself for $1 < p < \infty$. We also apply our results to derive certain regularity results involving extremal problems in Bergman spaces. Lastly, we construct a function that approaches $0$ uniformly at the boundary of the unit disc but whose Bergman projection is not in $H^2$.
