The Cauchy integral, bounded and compact commutators

Abstract

We study the commutator of the well-known Cauchy integral operator with a locally integrable function $b$ on $\mathbb R$, and establish the characterisation of the BMO space on $\mathbb R$ via the $L^p$ boundedness of this commutator. Moreover, we also establish the characterisation of the VMO space on $\mathbb R$ via the compactness of this commutator.
