Contractive inequalities for Hardy spaces

Abstract

We state and discuss several interrelated results, conjectures, and questions regarding contractive inequalities for classical $H^p$ spaces of the unit disc. We study both coefficient estimates in terms of weighted $\ell^2$ sums and the Riesz projection viewed as a map from $L^q$ to $H^p$ with $q\ge p$. Some numerical evidence is given that supports our conjectures.
