The finite Hilbert transform T is a singular integral operator which maps the Zygmund space $LlogL:=LlogL(-1,1)$ continuously into $L^1:=L^1(-1,1)$. By extending the Parseval and Poincar\'e-Bertrand formulae to this setting, it is possible…

We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition on a polynomial $P(t_1,t_2)$ for the $\ell^{p}$ boundedness of the discrete double Hilbert transforms associated with $P(t)$ for $1 < p < \infty$. The proof is based on the multi-parameter…

The principle of optimizing inequalities, or their equivalent operator theoretic formulation, is well established in analysis. For an operator, this corresponds to extending its action to larger domains, hopefully to the largest possible…

The Hilbert transform is essentially the \textit{only} singular operator in one dimension. This undoubtedly makes it one of the the most important linear operators in harmonic analysis. The Hilbert transform has had a profound bearing on…

The analogue of P\'olya's conjecture is shown to fail for the fractional Laplacian (-Delta)^{alpha/2} on an interval in 1-dimension, whenever 0 < alpha < 2. The failure is total: every eigenvalue lies below the corresponding term of the…

Stein conjectured that the Hilbert transform in the direction of a vector field is bounded on, say, $L^2$ whenever $v$ is Lipschitz. We establish a wide range of $L^p$ estimates for this operator when $v$ is a measurable, non-vanishing,…

We consider multilinear averages in ergodic theory and harmonic analysis and prove their divergence in some range of $L^p$ spaces, with $p$ close enough to 1. We also prove that the trilinear Hilbert transform is unbounded in a similar…

We prove that for every integer $n\geq 4$, the $n$-linear operator whose symbol is given by a product of two generic symbols of $n$-linear Hilbert transform type, does not satisfy any $L^p$ estimates similar to those in H\"{o}lder…

Let $A$ and $B$ be positive semidefinite matrices. The limit of the expression $Z_p:=(A^{p/2}B^pA^{p/2})^{1/p}$ as $p$ tends to $0$ is given by the well known Lie-Trotter-Kato formula. A similar formula holds for the limit of…

For any natural number $k$, consider the $k$-linear Hilbert transform $$ H_k( f_1,\dots,f_k )(x) := \operatorname{p.v.} \int_{\bf R} f_1(x+t) \dots f_k(x+kt)\ \frac{dt}{t}$$ for test functions $f_1,\dots,f_k: {\bf R} \to {\bf C}$. It is…

We provide an alternative proof of a (local) T1 theorem for dual exponents in the non-homogeneous setting of upper doubling measures. This previously known theorem provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the L^p-boundedness of…

For $p\in [1,\infty)$, we show that every unital $L^p$-operator algebra contains a unique maximal $C^*$-subalgebra, which is always abelian if $p\neq 2$. Using this, we canonically associate to every unital $L^p$-operator algebra $A$ an…

It is known that a system formed by translates of a single function cannot be an unconditional Schauder basis in the space $L^p(\mathbb{R})$ for any $1 \le p < \infty$. To the contrary, there do exist unconditional Schauder frames of…

In the case (4/3)<p<4, and assuming a pair of locally finite positive Borel measures on the real line have no common point masses, we prove variants of two conjectures of T. Hyt\"onen and E. Vuorinen from 2018 on two weight testing theorems…

We prove that a probability measure on the real line has a moment of order p (even integer), if and only if its R-transform admits a Taylor expansion with p terms. We also prove a weaker version of this result when p is odd. Then, we apply…

We discuss the H\"ormander multiplier theorem for $L^p$ boundedness of Fourier multipliers in which the multiplier belongs to a fractional Sobolev space with smoothness $s$. We show that this theorem does not hold in the limiting case…

The $p$-adic Littlewood Conjecture due to De Mathan and Teuli\'e asserts that for any prime number $p$ and any real number $\alpha$, the equation $$\inf_{|m|\ge 1} |m|\cdot |m|_p\cdot |\langle m\alpha \rangle|\, =\, 0 $$ holds. Here, $|m|$…

Let $T\colon L^p({\mathcal M})\to L^p({\mathcal N})$ be a bounded operator between two noncommutative $L^p$-spaces, $1\leq p<\infty$. We say that $T$ is $\ell^1$-bounded (resp. $\ell^1$-contractive) if $T\otimes I_{\ell^1}$ extends to a…

We prove the $L^p (p > 3/2)$ boundedness of the directional Hilbert transform in the plane relative to measurable vector fields which are constant on suitable Lipschitz curves.

In this paper, for general plane curves $\gamma$ satisfying some suitable smoothness and curvature conditions, we obtain the single annulus $L^p(\mathbb{R}^2)$-boundedness of the Hilbert transforms $H^\infty_{U,\gamma}$ along the variable…
