Abstract: The principle of optimizing inequalities, or their equivalent operator theoretic formulation, is well established in analysis. For an operator, this corresponds to extending its action to larger domains, hopefully to the largest possible such domain (i.e, its extit{optimal domain}). Some classical operators are already optimally defined (e.g., the Hilbert transform in Lp(mathbbR), 1<p<infty) and others are not (e.g., the Hausdorff-Young inequality in Lp(mathbbT), 1<p<2, or Sobolev's inequality in various spaces). In this paper a detailed investigation is undertaken of the finite Hilbert transform T acting on rearrangement invariant spaces X on (−1,1), an operator whose singular kernel is neither positive nor does it possess any monotonicity properties. For a large class of such spaces X it is shown that T is already optimally defined on X (this is known for Lp(−1,1) for all 1<p<infty, except p=2). The case p=2 is significantly different because the range of T is a proper dense subspace of L2(−1,1). Nevertheless, by a completely different approach, it is established that T is also optimally defined on L2(−1,1). Our methods are also used to show that the solution of the airfoil equation, which is well known for the spaces Lp(−1,1) whenever pot=2 (due to certain properties of T), can also be extended to the class of r.i. spaces X considered in this paper.


The authors study inversion and extension of the finite Hilbert transform \(T\) on rearrangement invariant (r.i.) spaces \(X\) on \((-1,1)\). Further, it is shown that the solution of the airfoil equation can also be extended to the class of r.i. spaces \(X\). Note that for a large class of such spaces \(X\), it is shown that \(T\) is already optimally defined on \(X\) (this is known for \(L^p(-1,1)\) for all \(1<p<\infty, \ p\neq 2\)). The case \(p=2\) is significantly different because the range of \(T\) is a proper dense subspace of \(L^2(-1,1)\). It is established that \(T:L^2(-1,1)\rightarrow L^2(-1,1)\) does not have a continuous \(L^2(-1,1)\)-valued extension to any larger Banach function space.
