Finite Hilbert transforms (Q498475)

For \(f\in L^{p}(\mathbb{R})\), \(1\leq p\leq \infty\), its Hilbert transform is defined by \(\tilde{f}(x)=\frac{1}{\pi}(p.v.)\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{f(t)}{x-t}dt\). For \(E\) a union of disjoint compact intervals, i.e. \(\displaystyle E=[a_{1}, a_{2}]\cup [a_{3}, a_{4}]\cup \dots [a_{2 k-1}, a_{2 k}]\), where \(a_{1}<a_{2}<... < a_{2 k}\), define \(K(x)=\Pi_{j=1}^{2 k}(x-a_{j})\) and \(\displaystyle g_{E}(x)=(-1)^{k-p}\sqrt{|K(x)|}\) if \(x\in [a_{2p-1}, a_{2p}]\), \(p=1,..., k\), \(g_{E}(x)=0\), otherwise. The main results of this paper can be summarized as follows. {Theorem.} Let \(f\in L^{p}(\mathbb{R})\) be supported in \(E\).{\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize} \item[(i)] If \(p>1\) and the logarithmic integral of \(f\) is constant in \(E\), then \(\tilde{f} = 0\) in \(E\); \item [(ii)] If \(p>1\) then the inversion formula \[ f(x)=\frac{1}{\pi g_{E}(x)}\left (\int_{E}\frac{g_{E}(x)-g_{E}(y)}{x-y}f(y)d y + \int_{E}\frac{g_{E}(y)\tilde{y}}{y-x}\right ) \] holds for \(x\in E\) ; \item [(iii)] If \(p>2\) then for a.e. \(x\in E\) one has \[ f(x)=\frac{1}{\pi \omega_{E}(x)}\int_{E}\frac{\tilde{f}(y)\omega_{E}(y)}{y-x}dy, \] where \(\omega_{E}\) denotes the density function of the equilibrium measure of \(E\) ; \item [(iv)] If \(p > 4\) then \[ \int_{E}|f(y)|^{2}\omega_{E}(y)y^{i}d y= \int_{E}|\tilde{f}(y)|^{2}\omega_{E}(y)y^{i}d y, \] \(i=0, 1\). \end{itemize}}
