We consider weighted Bergman spaces A 1 µ on the unit disc as well as the corresponding spaces of entire functions, defined using non-atomic Borel measures with radial symmetry. By extending the techniques from the case of reflexive Bergman spaces we characterize the solid core of A 1 µ . Also, as a consequence of a characterization of solid A 1 µ -spaces we show that, in the case of entire functions, there indeed exist solid A 1 µ -spaces. The second part of the paper is restricted to the case of the unit disc and it contains a characterization of the solid hull of A 1 µ , when µ equals the weighted Lebesgue measure with weight v. The results are based on a duality relation of weighted A 1 -and H ∞ -spaces, the validity of which requires the assumption that − log v belongs to the class W 0 , studied in a number of publications; moreover, v has to satisfy condition (b), introduced by the authors. The exponentially decreasing weight v(z) = exp(−1/(1−|z|) provides an example satisfying both assumptions.
ON SOLID CORES AND HULLS OF WEIGHTED BERGMAN SPACESWe take a non-atomic positive bounded Borel measure µ on [0, R[ such that µ([r, R[) > 0 for every r > 0 and R 0 r n dµ(r) < ∞ for all n > 0. Put, for 1 ≤ p < ∞,
