Question: Let $\Delta$ be the unit disc in $\mathbb{C}$ and $\rho(z)|dz|^2$ be a complete conformal metric on $\Delta$ where $\rho(z)$ is continuous on $\Delta$. Let $a$ be the infimum of $p (p>0)$ such that $\iint_\Delta |\rho(z)|^pdxdy=+\infty.$

I guess that $a\leq 1$. Of course, generally $a$ depends on the complete metric $\rho(z)$. For example, w.r.t. the Poincare metric, $a=\frac{1}{2}.$ Also, one may consider the infimum of $a$.

Note. We only assume that $\rho(z)$ is continuous and complete on the unit disc.

  • $\begingroup$ Your $a$ depends on the metric. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Yes, $a$ dependant on the metric, but for all complete metric, I belive $a \leq 1$. $\endgroup$

Completeness implies that $$\int_{1/2}^1\sqrt{\rho(r,\theta)}dr=\infty$$ for all $\theta$. So, for a complete metric, $$\int_\Delta\sqrt{\rho}=\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^1\sqrt{\rho(r,\theta)}rdrd\theta=\infty.$$ Thus $a\leq 1/2$.

For Poincare metric $\rho=1/(1-r^2)^2$, so $\alpha=1/2$, and this is best possible.
