Abstract

We introduce the space Ws,p(D)\mathcal{W}^{s,p}(\mathbb{D}) of analytic functions uu on the unit disc such that the radial restrictions ur(ξ):=u(rξ)u_{r}(\xi):=u(r\xi) satisfy the Gagliardo seminorm-only bound sup0<r<1[ur]Ws,p(S1)<, \sup_{0<r<1}[u_{r}]_{W^{s,p}(\mathbb{S}^{1})}<\infty, with no a priori\emph{a priori} control of suprurLp(S1)\sup_{r}\|u_{r}\|_{L^{p}(\mathbb{S}^{1})}. Our main result shows that this assumption already forces uHp(D)u\in H^{p}(\mathbb{D}) and that the radial boundary trace uu^{*} belongs to Ws,p(S1)W^{s,p}(\mathbb{S}^{1}), with uruu_{r}\to u^{*} in Ws,p(S1)W^{s,p}(\mathbb{S}^{1}) as r1r\to1^{-}. The key mechanism combines the mean-value property (which pins the constant mode at u(0)u(0)) with a fractional Poincareˊ\'e inequality on S1\mathbb{S}^{1}, recovering LpL^{p} control from oscillation alone. As a consequence, the trace map uuu\mapsto u^{*} is a surjective isomorphism Ws,p(D)Bp,p,+s(S1)\mathcal{W}^{s,p}(\mathbb{D})\xrightarrow{\sim}B^{s}_{p,p,+}(\mathbb{S}^{1}) with explicit norm equivalence.
