For , their product is holomorphic and integrable on the disk by the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. Its angular mean on every centered circle is by the mean value property. Polar integration therefore givesIf , this vanishes for every , proving . Integrability of the product justifies integration over the full disk, even when the individual holomorphic functions grow near its boundary.
The inclusion is strict. Set , a nonzero bounded function in . For every ,Thus . It cannot equal for holomorphic : equality almost everywhere between these continuous functions would give equality everywhere, making a real-valued nonconstant holomorphic function, which is impossible. Therefore
