On the equality of De Branges-Rovnyak and Dirichlet spaces

Abstract

This work is devoted to the comparison of de Branges--Rovnyak H(b)H(b) spaces harmonically weighted Dirichlet spaces Dμ\mathcal{D}_\mu. We completely characterize which H(b)H(b) spaces are also harmonically weighted Dirichlet spaces Dμ\mathcal{D}_\mu, when μ\mu is a finite sum of atoms. This is a generalization of a previous result by Costara--Ransford \cite{costara2013}: we make no assumptions on the Pythagorean pair (b,a)(b,a), and we produce new examples.
