The concept of boundary layers, introduced by A. Volberg in [7], is generalized from subsets of the unit disk to subsets of general non-tangentially accessible (NTA) domains. Capacitary conditions of Wiener type series of both necessary and sufficient type for boundary layers are presented and the connection between boundary layers and minimally thin sets is studied.

We introduce and study the Jarník limit set ℐ_{σ}of a geometrically finite Kleinian group with parabolic elements. The set ℐ_{σ}is the dynamical equivalent of the classical set of well approximable limit points. By generalizing the method of Jarník in the theory of Diophantine approximations, we estimate the dimension of ℐ_{σ}with respect to the Patterson measure. In the case in which the exponent of convergence of the group does not exceed the maximal rank of the parabolic fixed points, and hence in particular for all finitely generated Fuchsian groups, it is shown that this leads to a complete description of ℐ_{σ}in terms of Hausdorff dimension. For the remaining case, we derive some estimates for the Hausdorff dimension and the packing dimension of ℐ_{σ}.

Weighted weak type estimates are proved for some maximal operators on the weighted Hardy spaces$H$_{ω}^{$p$}(0 <$p$< 1, ω ∈$A$_{1}) (0<p<1, ω∞A_{1}); in particular, weighted weak type endpoint estimates are obtained for the maximal operators arising from the Bochner-Riesz means and the spherical means on$H$_{ω}^{$p$}.
