A positive Borel measure on the unit disc satisfies $\int |f|d\mu \le N\Vert f{\Vert }_1$ for every H1 space on the unit disk function exactly when it is a Carleson measure, with comparable optimal constants. The normalized squared Cauchy kernel tests necessity. For sufficiency, the boundary shadow of every point with $|f(z)|>t$ lies inside a component arc of $\{Nf>t\}$. The geodesic-cap and Carleson-box comparison bounds the measure of each shadow region by its component length, giving $\mu \{|f|>t\}\le C\Vert \mu {\Vert }_{\mathrm{Carl}}m\{Nf>t\}$. The layer cake representation and H1 non-tangential maximal inequality on the disk give the embedding. The broader kernel and covering mechanism is discussed in Terence Tao's harmonic-analysis notes, Exercise 2 after Lemma 4.1; the analytic endpoint here uses the fractional-power argument just given.

For an analytic H1 space on the unit disk function, its fixed-aperture non-tangential maximal function obeys the displayed strong $L^1$ bound. First replace $f$ by $f_R(z)=f(Rz)$, $R<1$. The fact that modulus powers of holomorphic functions are subharmonic gives $|f_R{|}^{1/2}\le P[|f(R\xi ){|}^{1/2}]$. Since a Poisson maximal function is dominated by the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, the strong $L^2$ Hardy-Littlewood maximal inequality yields $\int N_A{f}_R\le C_A\int |f(R\xi )|\le C_A\Vert f{\Vert }_1$. Pointwise interior convergence and the Fatou lemma remove $R$. Analyticity permits this endpoint estimate; general $L^1$ boundary data have only a weak $L^1$ maximal bound.

For $a\in \mathbb{D}$, this holomorphic function has H1 space on the unit disk norm one: its boundary modulus is the unit-mass Poisson kernel on the circle. The radial integrals are bounded by that boundary integral by subharmonic comparison and tend to it by continuity. Choosing $a$ at depth comparable to an arc's length makes $|f_a|$ bounded below by the reciprocal length throughout its hyperbolic geodesic cap. It tests necessity in the Carleson embedding theorem on the disk.

We prove necessity of the geometric condition from the embedding condition. Use normalized angular measure $m$ and the H1 space on the unit disk norm $\Vert f{\Vert }_1={\sup }_{r<1}\int |f(r\xi )|dm(\xi )$. Testing $f=1$ first gives $\mu (\mathbb{D})\le N(\mu )$.

For a short arc $I$ of normalized length $\ell =m(I)$ centered at ${\xi }_0$, put $a=(1-\ell ){\xi }_0$ and use the normalized squared Cauchy kernelIts boundary modulus is the Poisson kernel on the circle, so $\Vert f_a{\Vert }_1=1$. The geodesic-cap and Carleson-box comparison gives $|z-{\xi }_0|\le C\ell$ for $z\in Q(I)$. Therefore $|1-\overline{a}z|\le C^{\prime }\ell$, whereas $1-|a{|}^2=2\ell -{\ell }^2\ge \ell$. Thus $|f_a(z)|\ge c/\ell$ throughout the hyperbolic geodesic cap. The embedding bound givesFor arcs longer than a fixed small threshold, the total-mass estimate gives the same form after changing the absolute constant. HenceThis is precisely the Carleson measure condition, in its geodesic-cap version.
