Boundary values in $R^t(K,μ)$-spaces and invariant subspaces (1712.02953v1)

Abstract: For $1 \le t < \infty ,$ a compact subset $K$ of the complex plane $\mathbb C,$ and a finite positive measure $\mu$ supported on $K,$ $R^t(K, \mu)$ denotes the closure in $L^t (\mu )$ of rational functions with poles off $K.$ The paper examines the boundary values of functions in $R^t(K, \mu)$ for certain compact subset $K$ and extends the work of Aleman, Richter, and Sundberg on nontangential limits for the closure in $L^t (\mu )$ of analytic polynomials (Theorem A and Theorem C in \cite{ars}). We show that the Cauchy transform of an annihilating measure has some continuity properties in the sense of capacitary density. This allows us to extend Aleman, Richter, and Sundberg's results for $R^t(K, \mu)$ and provide alternative short proofs of their theorems as special cases.
