Title:

Notions of Boundaries for Spaces of Functions

Abstract:

We will begin this talk by recalling briefly why harmonic and complex analytic functions obey a maximum principle. The maximum principle leads directly to the usual notion of a "boundary" for a space of functions. We will introduce two new alternative notions of "boundary," deriving some results about these different boundaries and giving simple examples. Along the way we will derive a new proof of a theorem of Tonev. We will finish with some open questions about these boundaries.
