A function f, analytic in the unit disk, is said to have finite Dirichlet integral if

1

Geometrically, this is equivalent to f mapping the disk onto a Riemann surface of finite area. The class of Dirichlet integrable functions will be denoted by . The condition above can be restated in terms of Taylor coefficients; if f(z) = Σanzn, then if and only if Σn|an|2 < ∞. Thus, is contained in the Hardy class H2.

In particular, every such function has boundary values

almost everywhere and log |f(e)| ∊ L1().

The zeros zn of a function must satisfy the Blaschke condition

and f(s) = B(z)F(z), where F(z) has no zeros and

is the Blaschke product with zeros zn; see (5).
