The Hausdorff operator is bounded on the real Hardy space 𝐻¹(ℝ) (Q4942910)

Let \(\widehat f\) be the Fourier transform of a function \(f\in L^1(\mathbb R)\) and \(\widetilde f\) its Hilbert transform, i.e. \[ \widetilde f(x):=\frac 1\pi(P.V.)\int_0^\infty \frac{f(x-u)-f(x+u)}u du, \qquad x\in\mathbb R. \] The real Hardy space \(H^1(\mathbb R)\) is defined to be \[ H^1(\mathbb R):=\{f\in L^1(\mathbb R): \widetilde f\in L^1(\mathbb R)\}, \] endowed with the norm \(\|f\|_{H^1}:=\|f\|_{L^1} +\|\widetilde f\|_{L^1}\). Let \(\varphi\in L^1(\mathbb R)\). The Hausdorff operator \(\mathcal H\) generated by a function \(\varphi\) is defined by \[ ({\mathcal H}f)^\wedge(t):=\int_{\mathbb R}\widehat f(tx) \varphi(x) dx, \qquad t\in\mathbb R. \] It is proved that if \(f\in L^1(\mathbb R)\) then \({\mathcal H}f\in L^1(\mathbb R)\). The main result of the paper is the theorem that the Hausdorff operator is bounded on the real Hardy space \(H^1(\mathbb R)\).
