The present paper is concerned with three related topics: (i) First (real) spinor sections for \(f\in L_2(\partial\Omega)\) (\(\Omega\) being a suitable domain in the complex plane) are defined, equivalent characterizations are derived for them, and their applicability is demonstrated. For instance, the orthogonal projection \(R: L_2(\partial\Omega)\to L_2(\partial\Omega)\) onto the space of spinor sections \({\mathfrak R}\) is defined, and thus \(L_2(\partial\Omega)\) is represented as the direct orthogonal sum of \({\mathfrak R}\) and \(i{\mathfrak R}\): Furthermore, let \(R^\perp\) similarly denote the orthogonal projection onto \({\mathfrak R}^\perp\) and let \(\gamma\) be the Szegö space associated with \(\Omega\) where \(\Omega\) is a simply-connected domain having nontrivial \(C^\infty\)-boundary, then \(\|R^\perp f\|^2= \|R f\|^2={1\over 2}\|f\|^2\) is proved for \(f\in\gamma\), and \(R\) maps \(\gamma\) onto \({\mathfrak R}\). (Compare this with the classical result in the study of the Hilbert transform.) (ii) The latter results are extended to suitable more general (not necessarily simply-connected) domains. (iii) Since, in the study of integral operators on the boundary, it is important to know whether an operator maps spinor sections to spinor sections, here this problem is investigated, and the question is positively answered, e.g., in the cases of the Szegö-Hilbert transformation and the Kerzman-Stein operator.
