Hardy spaces of harmonic quasiconformal mappings and Baernstein's theorem

Abstract: Suppose $\mathcal{S}_H^0(K)$, $K\ge 1$, is the class of normalized $K$-quasiconformal harmonic mappings in the unit disk. We obtain Baernstein type extremal results for the analytic and co-analytic parts of harmonic functions in the major geometric subclasses (e.g. convex, starlike, close-to-convex, convex in one direction) of $\mathcal{S}_H^0(K)$. We then use these results to obtain integral mean estimates for the respective classes. Furthermore, we find the range of $p>0$ such that these geometric classes of quasiconformal mappings are contained in the harmonic Hardy space $h^p$, thereby refining some earlier results of Nowak. Our findings extend the recent developments on harmonic quasiconformal mappings by Li and Ponnusamy.
