We consider normalized univalent functions with prescribed second Taylor coefficient $a_2$. For convex functions $f$ we study the Hardy spaces to which $f$ and $f'$ belong, refining in particular on a theorem of Eenigenburg and Keogh, and give a sharp asymptotic estimate and an explicit uniform bound for their coefficients. Relating the lower order of a convex function to the angle at infinity of its range we deduce that its range lies always in some sector of aperture $|a_2|π$. We give sharp smoothness conditions on the boundary for convex functions with prescribed second coefficient. We find the sharp Hardy space estimates for $f$ and $f'$ when $f$ belongs to other geometric subclasses, such as those of starlike, close-to-convex, convex in one direction, convex in the positive direction and typically real funtions. We extend a theorem of Lohwater, Piranian and Rudin, in which a univalent function whose derivative has radial limits almost nowhere is constructed, by showing that this pathological behavior can be obtained for any prescribed value of the second coefficient, in particular, manifesting itself arbitrarily close to the Koebe function.
