AbstractLet Ap (𝔻) (p ≥ 1) be the Bergman space over the open unit disk 𝔻 in the complex plane. Korenblum's maximum principle states that there is an absolute constant c ∈ (0, 1) (may depend on p), such that whenever |f (z)| ≤ |g (z)| (f, g ∈ Ap (𝔻)) in the annulus c < |z | < 1, then ∥f ≤ ∥g ∥. For p ≥ 1, let cp be the largest value of c for which Korenblum's maximum principle holds. In this note we prove that cp → 1 as p → ∞. Thus we give a positive answer of a question of Hinkkanen.
