Cauchy transforms and Szegő projections in dual Hardy spaces: Inequalities and Möbius invariance
Journal of Functional Analysis · 2025-04-02
articleOpen access1st authorCorrespondingCauchy transforms and Szegő projections in dual Hardy spaces: inequalities and Möbius invariance
arXiv (Cornell University) · 2024-07-17
preprintOpen access1st authorCorrespondingDual pairs of interior and exterior Hardy spaces associated to a simple closed Lipschitz planar curve are considered, leading to a Möbius invariant function bounding the norm of the Cauchy transform $\bf{C}$ from below. This function is shown to satisfy strong rigidity properties and is closely connected via the Berezin transform to the square of the Kerzman-Stein operator. Explicit example calculations are presented. For ellipses, a new asymptotically sharp lower bound on the norm of $\bf{C}$ is produced.

Pure and Applied Mathematics Quarterly · 2022-01-01
article1st authorCorrespondingA smooth, strongly $\mathbb{C}$-convex, real hypersurface $S$ in $\mathbb{CP}^n$ admits a projective dual CR structure in addition to the standard CR structure. Given a smooth function $u$ on $S$, we provide characterizations for when $u$ can be decomposed as a sum of a CR function and a dual CR function. Following work of Lee on pluriharmonic boundary values, we provide a characterization using differential forms. We further provide a characterization using tangential vector fields in the style of Audibert and Bedford.

High frequency behavior of the Leray transform: model hypersurfaces and projective duality

The Leray transform $\bf{L}$ is studied on a family $M_γ$ of unbounded hypersurfaces in two complex dimensions. For a large class of measures, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the $L^2$-boundedness of $\bf{L}$, along with an exact spectral description of $\bf{L}^*\bf{L}$. This yields both the norm and high-frequency norm of $\bf{L}$, the latter giving an affirmative answer to an unbounded analogue of an open conjecture relating the essential norm of $\bf{L}$ to a projective invariant on a bounded hypersurface. $\bf{L}$ is also shown to play a central role in bridging the function theoretic and projective geometric notions of duality. Our work leads to the construction of projectively invariant Hardy spaces on the $M_γ$, along with the realization of their duals as invariant Hardy spaces on the dual hypersurfaces.
