Spectral estimates for the commutator of two-dimensional Hilbert transformation and the operator of multiplication with a \(C^1\) function (Q1880971)

If \(\Omega\) is a domain in the complex plane \(\mathbb{C}\) and \(dA\) denotes the Lebesgue measure on \(\Omega\), then \[ H_\Omega f(z)=-\frac{1}{\pi}\, \text{ p.v.} \int_\Omega \frac{f(\xi)}{(\xi -z)^2}\,dA(\xi) \] defines a bounded linear operator in \(L_p(\Omega)\) for all \(1<p<\infty\). In the case \(\Omega = \mathbb{C}\), \(H_\Omega\) is the two-dimensional Hilbert transform. The author studies spectral properties of the operators \(aH_\Omega-H_\Omega a\) in \(L_2(\Omega)\). His main result (Theorem 1) states that if \(\Omega\) is bounded and \(a\in \) Lip\(_{\alpha}(\Omega)\) with \(0<\alpha \leq 1\), then \(aH_\Omega-H_\Omega a\) belongs to the Schatten class \(c_p\) for every \(p>2/\alpha\). Moreover, for \(a\in\) C\(^1(\overline{\Omega})\) the exact asymptotic behaviour of the singular numbers \(s_n(aH_\Omega-H_\Omega a)\) is given.
