Martin boundary of unlimited covering surfaces

LetW be an open Riemann surface and ap-sheeted (1<p<∞) unlimited covering surface ofW. Denote by Δ¹ (resp., ) the minimal Martin boundary ofW (resp., ). For ζ ∈ Δ, let ζ be the (cardinal) number of the set of pionts which lie over ζ and the class of open connected subsetsM ofW such thatM∪{ζ} is a minimal fine neighborhood of ζ. Our main result is the following: , where is the number of components of π^-1 M and π is the projection of ontoW. Moreover, some applications of the above results are discussed whenW is the unit disc.
