Abstract:
We describe the strong dual space $({\mathcal O} (D))^*$ of the space ${\mathcal O} (D)$ of holomorphic functions of several complex variables in a bounded domain $D$ with Lipschitz boundary and connected complement (as usual, ${\mathcal O} (D)$ is endowed with the topology of local uniform convergence in $D$). We identify the dual space with the closed subspace of the space of harmonic functions on the closed set ${\mathbb C}^n\setminus D$, $n>1$, whose elements vanish at the point at infinity and satisfy the Cauchy–Riemann tangential conditions on $\partial D$. In particular, we generalize classical Grothendieck–Köthe–Sebastião e Silva duality for holomorphic functions of one variable to the multivariate situation. We prove that the duality we produce holds if and only if the space ${\mathcal O} (D)\cap H^1 (D)$ of Sobolev-class holomorphic functions in $D$ is dense in ${\mathcal O} (D)$.
