Diagonalization of the finite Hilbert transform on two adjacent intervals: the Riemann-Hilbert approach

Abstract

In this paper we study the spectra of bounded self-adjoint linear operators that are related to finite Hilbert transforms $\mathcal{H}_L:L^2([b_L,0])\to L^2([0,b_R])$ and $\mathcal{H}_R:L^2([0,b_R])\to L^2([b_L,0])$. These operators arise when one studies the interior problem of tomography. The diagonalization of $\mathcal{H}_R,\mathcal{H}_L$ has been previously obtained, but only asymptotically when $b_L\neq-b_R$. We implement a novel approach based on the method of matrix Riemann-Hilbert problems (RHP) which diagonalizes $\mathcal{H}_R,\mathcal{H}_L$ explicitly. We also find the asymptotics of the solution to a related RHP and obtain error estimates.

Weighted inequalities in ergodic theory via transference

We first extend Calderón's transfer principle to weighted spaces in various different settings under suitable assumptions. Then we apply our results for some inequalities on the real line obtained by the author to prove corresponding inequalities in ergodic theory and ergodic $H^1$ spaces as well.

Wavelet resolution and Sobolev regularity of Calderón-Zygmund operators on domains

Given a uniform domain $Ω\subset {\mathbb R}^d$, we resolve each element of a suitably defined class of Calderòn-Zygmund (CZ) singular integrals on $Ω$ as the linear combination of Triebel wavelet operators and paraproduct terms. Our resolution formula entails a testing type characterization, loosely in the vein of the David-Journé theorem, of weighted Sobolev space bounds in terms of Triebel-Lizorkin and tree Carleson measure norms of the paraproduct symbols, which is new already in the case $Ω={\mathbb R}^d$ with Lebesgue measure. Our characterization covers the case of compressions to $Ω$ of global CZ operators, extending and sharpening past results of Prats and Tolsa for the convolution case. The weighted estimates we obtain, particularized to the Beurling operator on a Lipschitz domain with normal to the boundary in the corresponding sharp Besov class, may be used to deduce quantitative estimates for quasiregular mappings with dilatation in the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(Ω)$, $p>2$.
