A superharmonic proof of the M. Riesz conjugate function theorem (Q2266776)

Let \(F=u+iv\) be analytic in the unit disk with \(v(0)=0\). Then Riesz's inequality holds: \(\| F\|^ p_ p\leq C_ p\| u\|^ p_ p.\) In each of the cases \(1<p\leq 2\) and \(p>2\) the author constructs a surprisingly simple superharmonic function. By means of this the inequality is proved with best constant, \(C_ p=\{\cos (\pi /2p)\}^{- p}\) and \(C_ p=\{\cos (\pi /2q)\}^{-p}\) respectively, \(1/p+1/q=1.\) Corresponding results are obtained for multiply connected domains and in higher dimensions.
