The finite Hilbert transform acting on $L^\infty$

Abstract

The action of the finite Hilbert transform defined on $L^\infty(-1,1)$ and taking its values in the Zygmund space $L_{\textnormal{exp}}(-1,1)$ is studied in detail. This is a reciprocal situation to the investigation recently undertaken in [11] of the finite Hilbert transform defined on the Zygumd space $L\textnormal{log} L(-1,1)$ and taking its values in $L^1(-1,1)$. The fact that both $L^\infty(-1,1)$ and $L_{\textnormal{exp}}(-1,1)$ fail to be separable generates new features not present in[11].
