Abstract English Let $T_\alpha$ be the class of functions meromorphic in the unit disk ${\bf D}$ such that $$\int_D{|f&#39;(z)|^2\over (1+|f(z)|^2)^2}(1-|z|)^{1-\alpha}dx\,dy&lt;\infty,\quad 0\leq\alpha&lt;1.$$ <br> <br> It is known that $T_\alpha\subset N$, where $N$ denotes the Nevanlinna class of functions meromorphic in $\bold D$ and of bounded characteristic. Because every $f\in N$ is a quotient of two bounded functions, analytic in ${\bf D}$, it is natural to ask whether any $f\in T_\alpha$ may be represented as a quotient of two bounded analytic functions of the same class. This problem was posed for the first time by Carleson in his thesis ``On a class of meromorphic functions and its associated exceptional sets&#39;&#39;, Univ. Uppsala, Uppsala, 1950; MR0033354 (11,427c). Carleson proved that any $f\in T_\alpha$ is a quotient of bounded functions $u,v\in T_\beta$, analytic in ${\bf D}$, for all $\beta&lt;\alpha$. The considerable success of the author in the paper under review is in proving the following result. Theorem: For $0&lt;\alpha\leq 1$, every function in $T_\alpha$ is a quotient of two bounded analytic functions belonging to $T_\alpha$.
