Abstract

Let be a finite, positive measure on , the polydisc in , and let be 2n-dimensional Lebesgue volume measure on . For an Orlicz function , a necessary and sufficient condition on is given in order that the identity map is bounded.

1. Introduction

We denote by the unit polydisc in and by the distinguished boundary of . We will use to denote the -dimensional Lebesgue volume measure on , normalized so that . We use to describe rectangles on , and we use to denote the corona associated to these sets. In particular, if I is an interval on of length centered at , Then, if , with intervals having length and having centers , is given by , and let If is any open set in , we define where runs through all rectangles in .

An Orlicz function is a real-valued, nondecreasing, convex function such that and . To avoid pathologies, we will assume that we work with an Orlicz function having the following additional properties: is continuous and strictly convex (hence increasing), such that

The Orlicz space is the space of all (equivalence classes of) measurable functions for which there is a constant such that and then (the Luxemburg norm) is the infimum of all possible constant such that this integral is . It is well known that is a Banach space under the Luxemburg norm . For , let

The Bergman-Orlicz space consists of all analytic functions in , which is a closed subspace of , so it is an analytic Banach space also.

A theorem of Carleson [1, 2] characterizes those positive measure on for which the Hardy space norm dominates the norm of elements of . Since then, there is a long history of the development and application of Carleson measures, see [3]. This rich area of research contains a large body of literature on characterizations of different classes of operators in different spaces and their applications. Chang [4] has characterized the bounded measures on using a two-line proof referring to a result of Stein. Characterization of the bounded identity operators on Hardy spaces is an immediate consequence of Chang's proof using standard arguments. Hastings [5] has given a similar result for unweighted Bergman spaces. MacCluer [6] has obtained a Carleson measure characterization of the identity operators on Hardy spaces of the unit ball in using the well-known results of Hormander. Lefèvre et al. [7] have introduced an adapted version of Carleson measure in Hardy-Orlicz spaces. Xiao [8], Ortiz, and Fernandez [9] have got a characterization of the Carleson measure in Bergman-Orlicz spaces of the unit disc.

A finite, positive measure on is called a Carleson measure if there is a constant such that for every rectangle .

In this paper, we proveTheorem 2.4.

Theorem 2.4 (Main theorem). Let be a finite, positive measure on , and suppose that is an Orlicz function. Then, the identity map is bounded if and only if is a Carleson measure.

Proof. Suppose that there exists a constant such that for all . By Lemma 2.1, However, for , we have so, Therefore, that is, with .
Conversely, suppose that , we have and the proof is complete.

Corollary 2.5. Let be a finite, positive measure on , and suppose that is an Orlicz function. Then is a Carleson measure if and only if there exists some such that for every rectangle .
