\(L^2\)-boundedness of the Cauchy integral operator for continuous measures (Q1974927)

Given a continuous positive Radon measure \(\mu\) on the complex plane, the truncated Cauchy integral of a compactly supported function \(f\in L^2 (\mu)\) is defined as \[ {\mathcal C}_\varepsilon f(z)= \int_{|\xi-z|> \varepsilon} {f(\xi) \over\xi-z} d\mu(\xi), \quad \varepsilon>0. \] A description is given for the measures \(\mu\) such that \[ \int|{\mathcal C}_\varepsilon f|^2 d\mu\leq c\int|f|^2 d\mu \] for all \(f\) with some constant \(c\) independent of \(\varepsilon\). Namely, these are measures \(\mu\) satisfying the linear growth condition \(\mu(\Delta(z,r))\leq C_0r\) for all discs \(\Delta (z,r)\), \(z\in sp t(\mu)\), \(\mu>0\), and the local curvature condition \[ \int_\Delta\int_\Delta\int_\Delta c(x,y,z)^2 d\mu(x) d\mu(y) d\mu(z)\leq C_1 \mu(\Delta) \] for all discs \(\Delta\); here \(c(x,y,z)\) is the so-called Menger curvature of the points \(x,y,z\) (the inverse to the radius of the circumference passing through \(x,y,z)\). The author proves sufficiency of the conditions, while the necessity has been known. Some related results are obtained as well.
