Abstract
Let Ω be a bounded Lipschitz domain in \(\mathbb {R}^3\). We introduce the Vekua-Hardy spaces \(H_f^p(\Omega )\) of solutions of the main Vekua equation \(DW=(Df/f)\overline {W}\) where 1 < p < ∞. Here W is quaternion-valued, D is the Moisil-Teodorescu operator, and the conductivity f is a bounded scalar function with bounded gradient. Using the Vekua-Hilbert transform \(\mathcal {H}_f\) defined in previous work of the authors, we give some characterizations of \(H_f^p(\Omega )\) analogous to those of the “classical” Hardy spaces of monogenic functions in \(\mathbb {R}^3\). The main obstacle is the lack of several fundamental analogues of properties of solutions to the special case DW = 0 (monogenic, or hyperholomorphic functions), such as power series and the Cauchy integral formula.
