Abstract

Aα2A^2_{\alpha} will denote the weighted L2L^2 Bergman space. Given a subset SS of the open unit disc we define Ω(S)\Omega(S) to be the infimum of \{s| \exists f \in A^2_{s-2}, f\neq 0, \mbox{ having S as its zero set} \}.By classical results on Hardy space there are sets SS for which Ω(S)=1\Omega(S)=1. Using von Neumann dimension techniques and cusp forms we give examples of SS where 1<Ω(S)<1<\Omega(S)<\infty. By using a left order on certain Fuchsian groups we are able to calculate Ω(S)\Omega(S) exactly if Ω(S)\Omega (S) is the orbit of a Fuchsian group. This technique also allows us to derive in a new way well known results on zeros of cusp forms and indeed calculate the whole algebra of modular forms for \pslz.
