Abstract

In this paper we study an LpL^{p} analogue of Bohr's abscissae of summability for Dirichlet series. For polynomially bounded analytic functions in a strip with order function μ\mu, convexity of 1/μ1/\mu is equivalent to approximate concavity of the abscissae in pp. If μ\mu obeys a functional equation of the Selberg class type, this is equivalent to the Lindel\"of hypothesis if μ(1/2)\mu'(1/2) does not exist. Otherwise, μ\mu is everywhere differentiable (therefore subconvex) with quadratic decay near one.
