For a planar domain , the Bergman space consists of holomorphic functions with finite area L2 norm, using the inherited inner product. It is a closed subspace of . Indeed the disk mean-value estimate bounds values locally by the L2 norm. An -Cauchy sequence of holomorphic functions consequently converges uniformly on compact subsets to a holomorphic function, agreeing almost everywhere with its limit.
On the unit disk, the normalized monomials , , form an orthonormal basis. Angular integration makes them orthogonal and gives . Applying the same integration to a Taylor expansion gives , proving completeness of this basis.
In the area Hilbert space of the unit disk, conjugates of Bergman space functions vanishing at zero are orthogonal to all holomorphic functions, since . This follows from the angular mean-value property and the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, which makes the product integrable. But the radial function is also orthogonal to every holomorphic function: its radial integral against the constant angular mean is zero. It is not conjugate holomorphic, since it is real-valued and nonconstant. Thus the conjugate-holomorphic family is a proper subset of the orthogonal complement.

Bergman space is a concept from functional analysis and complex analysis. It is named after the mathematician Stefan Bergman. Specifically, the Bergman space is a type of Hilbert space that consists of analytic functions defined on a domain in the complex plane, typically the unit disk or other bounded domains.
