Let h be a smooth function on R with a compact support, and let

1 /rt h(t)

dt

g(x) = p . v . ~ t - x

be its Hilbert transform. Set f = g + ih and introduce the function

ul(z) = frt H(zy(t)) dr,

H(z)

= log I1 - zl + R e ( z ) ,

called the

logarithmic determinant

of genus one. It is subharmonic in C; and its Riesz measure is d/~y(~) = duf((-1), where

duf

is the distribution measure o f f

uf (E) = meas ({t : ](t) E E } ) , E is a Borel subset of 12, and meas(. ) stands for the Lebesgue measure on R. Let

#y(r) = t~y({Izl < r})

= meas

({111 >__

r - l } ) be the usual counting function of d/~y, and let

hi(r) = py ({Iz -

ir/21 <_

r/2}) + py ({I z +

ir/21 <_

=/~y ({IXm(z-l)[ > r - a } ) = meas

be its

Levin-Tsuji counting function;

see [11], [18], and [7, Chapter 1]. Then the classical estimates of the Hilbert transform can be easily rewritten as upper bounds of #y(r) by ny(r).

(1.1)

For example, Marcinkiewicz' inequality (see [9, Chapter V])

{ 1 f0x 1 f x ~ 1 7 6 0 < A < o o ,

m r ( A )

<_ C "~

smh(S)ds + -~

where

and

ms(A) = meas ({I.fl > ,~}) =

= # f ( ) ~ - l )

mh(A) = m e a s ({Ihl > A}) = vz({llmw I > A}) = nZ(A-x), reads

(1.2)

From this, one readily obtains

(1.3) #l(r) _< Cr fo ~176 nl(t)t2 dt,

{

#i(r)<_C r ~ - - ~ - d t , O < r < c ~ .

0 < r < o o ,

which is equivalent to Kolmogorov's weak Ll-type inequality Am! (A) < CIIhI[L 1 , 0 < A < oo, and

fo ~176 #l(t) ,. f0 ~176 n/(t)dt 1 < p < 2

(1.4) -~--~-T-ar < C(p) tp+l ' '

which is equivalent to M. Riesz' inequality

(1.5) IIfIIL, ___ C(p)llhllL. 9

The classical proof of inequality (1.1) is based on the interpolation technique which later served as one of the cornerstones of the abstract theory of interpolation of operators in Banach spaces [2].

A natural question arises: what is special about the subharmonicfunction u I (z)

which makes inequality (1.2) valid? The answer is proposed in [14]: a key fact

ensuring this, is the positivity condition

(1.6) ul(z ) > 0 , z E C,

which can be easily checked with the help of Green's formula (see [3, Lemma 5]) or by applying the Cauchy residue theorem (see [ 15]).

This leads to a heuristic principle which suggests that

9 results about the distribution o f the Hilbert transform can be deduced from inequality (1.6) by using methods of subharmonic function theory.

(3)

As will be shown, inequality (1.6) is even too strong; and in many cases it suffices to assume that

ul(x ) > 0

on R or to control the negative part u~- = max(0,

-ul)

on g .

The principle shows a path to new results on the Hilbert transform. In [ 15], its application leads to a complete description of the distribution of the Hilbert trans- form of L 1-functions and measures of finite variation. At the same time, putting known estimates of the Hilbert transform into this setting, we arrive at new inter- esting questions about the argument-distribution of the Riesz measure in certain classes of subharmonic functions. For example, the proofs of the inequalities of Kolmogorov and M. Riesz found in [ 14] give new bounds for zeros of polynomials. Positivity condition (1.6) links our work with the theory of uniform algebras and Jensen measures (see [6]) and some recent works related to sharp inequalities for conjugate functions [3], [4], [5].

In this work, we put forward a new approach to the Marcinkiewicz inequality (1.1) (or (1.2)). The methods applied in [14], [16] are too rigid for this. Here we use a different technique.

Here and later on, we use the following notations:

r < r means that there is a positive numerical constant C such that, for each s > 0, r _< Cr

r ~<a r means the same as above but C may depend on a parameter a;

H(z) =

log I1 - zl + Re(z) is the canonical kernel of genus one;

C+ are the upper and lower half-planes.

Define a subharmonic canonical integral of genus one:

where dp is a non-negative locally finite measure on C such that

=/~ ({Iz - ir/21 <__ r/2}) +/~ ({Iz + ir/21 _< r/2}) be its Levin-Tsuji counting function [11], [18] (see also [7, Chapter 1]).

Let M(r, u) = maXlzl<r u(z).

Then by the Jensen inequality, #(r) <

M(er, u).

In the opposite direction, a standard estimate of the kernel

H(z)

If the function u is non-negative in C, then the proximity function re(r, u) vanishes; and, applying Jensen's inequality, we arrive at

in C. Then

As we explained in the introduction, this result immediately yields the classical Marcinkiewicz inequality (1.1). In this case, one can assume apriori that the function f is bounded, so that most of the technicalities needed for the proof

(5)

of Theorem 1 (see Lemmas 2 and 4 below) are redundant; and our proof of Marcinkiewicz' inequality, being conceptually new, is comparable in length to the classical one.

There is a curious reformulation of Corollary 1. Let A,~ be a measurable space endowed with a locally finite non-negative measure din, let f be a complex-valued measurable function on .A4, and let mI()~ ) =

m({Ifl ___ A})

be the distribution function of f. If

(2.6) f.~ min(l/(t)l, If(t)l 2) din(t) <

then we define the logarithmic determinant of f of genus one

uj(z) = f M H(zy(t)) din(t),

which is subharmonic in C and, moreover, is represented by a canonical integral of genus one. Applying Corollary 1, we obtain

C o r o l l a r y 2. I f f satisfies condition (2.6), and the logarithmic determinant u I is non-negative in 12, then

In particular, IlfllL,(m) <p I[Im fllLp(m), 1 < p < 2, and m i ( ~ ) < IlImfllz,(,.) 0 < )~ < oc.

Corollary 1 can also be applied to Jensen measures in C. A compactly supported finite measure a in C is called a Jensen measure (with respect to the origin) if, for an arbitrary subharmonic function h in C,

(2.7) h(0) < / hda.

A simple argument shows that (2.7) then holds true for subharmonic functions in a domain G such that 0 E G and supp(a) c G. For a harmonic function, the equality sign must occur in (2.7). Therefore,

(2.10) 0 < V~(z) <_ log+(clzl), z ~ c ,

for some c > 0. The opposite is also true: if, for s o m e e > 0, the subharmonic function V satisfies (2.10), then it is a potential o f a Jensen measure [8, w

B y condition (2.8), every potential V~ o f a Jensen measure can be represented by a canonical integral o f genus one:

V,,(z) = / c H(zl~)d#(~),

dp(~) = d a ( l / ~ ) . Thus, T h e o r e m 1 is applicable to the potential V,,; and w e obtain

where ~ is an arbitrary continuous function in C, and ~ o F is the composition o f $ and F . B y the monotone convergence theorem, this equation also holds for semicontinuous functions. The measure

automatically has compact support since F is b o u n d e d on supp(a). I f h is subharmonic in C, then h o F is subharrnonic in G and

Corollary 4 probably holds under the weaker (and more natural) assumption g(0) = 0 rather than f(0) = 0. In that case, using Theorem 2 (see below) one can get an estimate which is slightly weaker than (2.11).

In the next result, we do not assume that u(z) is non-negative in 12; instead, we introduce the quantity

5(r) = . ( r ) + [,,-(r) + u - ( - r ) ] , which we keep under control.

We assume that the integrals

f0 5(t) / o o 6(t)(1 + logt)dt

(2.12)

--~-dt

and - 7

are convergent and define

(2.13) 5*(r) = r - 7 dt + r 2 - 7 1 + log dr.

The function 5" (r) does not decrease, r-26 * (r) does not increase, and therefore (2.14) 6*(r) <6"(2r) <46"(r), O < r < o o .

by a canonical integral o f genus one, and let the integrals (2.12) converge. Then

Observe, that the RI-ISs of (2.5) and (2.15) do not depend on the bound for the integral (2.2). Estimate (2.15) is slightly weaker than (2.5); however, it suffices for deriving estimates of M. Riesz and Kolmogorov, as well as the weak (p, ~ ) - t y p e estimate (see Corollary 6 below).

We do not know whether the term log 3+~ is really needed on the RHS of (2.16). Apparently, our method does not allow us to omit it. According to a personal communication by A. Ph. Grishin, the exponent 3 + e can be improved. However, his technique also does not allow one to eliminate the logarithmic factor entirely.

(9)

Estimates weaker than (2.17)and (2.19)were obtained in [141 and [16] under additional restrictions, which now appear to be redundant. Estimate (2.18) is apparently new.

If we assume that d# is supported by R, that is, u(z) is harmonic in C+, then our technique gives a better result:

Let u(z) be a canonical integral of genus one of a measure d# supported by I t Then, for 0 < r < oo,

f[

,,-(t) +,,-(-t) dr.

(2.20) M(r, u) < r t= dt + t3

Note that one cannot replace u - (z) by u + (x) on the RHS of our estimates. For example, the function

O,

is subharmonic in C, harmonic in the upper and lower half-planes C+, represented by the canonical integral of genus one of the measure d#(x) =

cplzlp-ldx (cp > 0),

and non-positive on R.

There is a corollary to Theorem 2 which is parallel to Corollary 2. Let 24 be a measurable space endowed with a locally finite non-negative measure din, and let f : A4 ---r R n+x, n > 1, be a measurable function such that

(2.21) min(ll/(t)ll,

IlY(t)ll 2) din(t) <

where

II. II

stands for the (n + 1)-dimensional Euclidean norm. We start to enumerate the coordinates in R n+l with j = 0, and denote by e0 the vector in R "+1 whose zeroth coordinate is one and whose other coordinates vanish. Let

f~(t) be the j-th coordinate function of f(t), and ](t) = {Ej"=l .f~(t)} 1/2" We define the logarithmic determinant

din(t)

where the integral converges due to assumption (2.21). Then, if the function

W(z) is non-negative on 1~ we may estimate its distribution function mr(A) =

m({lllll _> ~}) by the distribution function m] = m ( { ] > A}) of ]. For this, observe that

(10)

where

f c

is a "complex-valued surrogate" of f:

f c = fo + i].

That is, vf has a subharmonic continuation from t t to C by a canonical integral of genus one

(z) = f ~ H(zfc(t))dm(t),

z E C.

ufc

Next, observe that mr(A) =

m({]~ + ]2 >

A2}) =

mlc (A), and m](A) = mimic (A)

for 0 < A < oo. Hence, Theorem 2 is applicable in this situation. For simplicity, we restrict ourselves to the case when v! is non-negative on the real axis.

Corollary 7. Let f satisfy condition (2.21), and let the logarithmic determinant

v! be non-negative on the real axis. Then, for 0 < A < cx~ and ~ > O,

This corollary may be of some interest in view o f the results of Aleksandrov and Kargaev [1].

Our third result pertains to the more general class of subharmonic functions rep- resented by a generalized canonical integral of genus one. It gives a Kolmogorov- type estimate which can be applied to a wider class of subharmonic functions than those represented by canonical integrals of genus one.

Theorem 3. Let d# be a non-negative locaUy finite measure on C such that

(11)

Obviously, this result is of interest only when the RHS of (2.22) is finite. Thus, the assumption on the principal value integral is an assumption on its real part (if (2.22) is finite, the imaginary part of this integral is absolutely convergent).

It is easy to see that if the integral (2.2) converges at the origin, then the upper limit on the RHS of (2.22) vanishes; in this case, (2.22) coincides with (2.19).

In fact, our proof yields a stronger result

f ~ u + ( t ) M ( r , u ) f0~ ,(t) /z(r) (2.23) ~ t2 dt + limr~sup - - r < - ~ - dt + limr~0sup ~ , r

which gives control over the positive harmonic majorants of u in the upper and lower half-planes. Applying a known technique for functions of Cartwright class [12], [10], one can extract from (2.23) information about the asymptotic regularity of u and/~ at infinity and near the origin.

Notice that one can also reformulate Theorem 3 in the spirit of Corollaries 2 and 7. We leave this to the reader.

Auxiliary l e m m a s

We require several known facts about harmonic and subharmonic functions.

L e m m a 1. Let v be a subharmonic function in the angle

S = { z : O < a r g z < a } , O < a < 2 ~ r ;

let

(3.1) limsup v+(z) < r r E OS;

z-~, zES and let

(3.2) v+(re iO) sin 0 dO = o(r'~/~), r ~ ~ . Then, f o r z = re i~ E S,

t~/a+l dr. I f the majorant ~(t) does not decrease, then the factor sin(IrO/a) on the LHS o f (3.3) can be omitted.

P r o o f . The general case is easily reduced to the special case when S = C+, so that, without loss of generality, we assume that a = ~r. First we show that v(z) is majorized by the Poisson integral of

~(Itl),

and then we estimate this integral.

Then (3.16) follows by adding to (3.17) a similar formula for the integral from rr to 21r.

First, we prove that the integral on the LHS of relation (3.16) is absolutely convergent. Making use of the notation introduced in (3.5), (3.6) and (3.11), we note that the Nevanlinna formula implies that

Set z = l~e ia sin0, multiply the formula by (Rsin 2 0) -x, integrate it with respect to r from 0 to r , and change the order of integration in all terms. We recall the following relations:

and

fo '~ K1 (Re i~ sin 0, t) R sin 20 - t 2 dO 1 R 2 ' 1

The first integral on the RHS is finite by Lcmma 2, and the third is finite because of condition (3.9). That is, the integral on the LHS of (3.16) is absolutely convergent.

Now, we write the Nevanlinna formula in the form

fo

v(z) = v(t)K1 (z, t) dt + v(Rei*)K2(z, Re i*) de - K3(z, r d#(r

Again, set z = Re i~ sin 0, multiply by (R sin 2 O) -1, integrate with respect to 8 from 0 to ~r and change the order of integration in all terms. We can do this since we already know that the integrals with Ivl instead of v are finite. As a result, we obtain the equation

Then (3.17) follows, and the proof is complete. []

In other words, in the assumptions of Lemma 4, the first fundamental theorem for Tsuji characteristics holds without a remainder term:

Observe that the factor I sin 201 on the LHS of (5.3) can be replaced by sin 0. This follows from inspection of the proof of L e m m a 1 (since, on the imaginary axis, the function - u ( i y ) has an increasing majorant). Alternatively, one may again apply L e m m a 1 to a small angle around the imaginary axis, say in {10 - Ir/21 < 7r/8}. That is, we have

Then, using estimate (5.2) for

First, we improve estimate (5.5) near the real axis. Consider the function

We assume that both B and C are finite; otherwise there is nothing to prove. First, we prove the theorem under the additional assumption

The well-known Borel estimates

imply that

T(R, u) = o(R2), R --+ oo.

Therefore, by setting R = 2r in (6.2). we get

U+(z)

Applying the Phragm6n-Lindel6fprinciple in the angles {0 < arg z < 7r/2} and {7r/2 < arg z < Ir}, we conclude that

(6.4)

U(z) < Cy,

z = x + iy E

i.e..

-U(z) + Cy

is a non-negative harmonic function in C+. Since

we have

o o ( t - - ~ T y 2 +(B+C)IyI' z = z + i y .

The assertion of Theorem 3 can be obtained from this inequality and (6.9) by applying a known argument (cf. [14], [16]). First, one applies (6.11) and (6.9) to get the upper bound for

u(z)

in the angles {I argz :t: rr/21 < rr/4}; then, using the Phragm6n-Lindelff principle, one obtains the upper bound for

u(z)

in the complementary angles. This gives

u(z) <~ (B + C)[z[

and completes the proof of estimate (2.22) for the special case (6.1).

Now, let # be an arbitrary measure in C satisfying the conditions of Theorem 3 and having finite value C. As in Section 5, we define the measure #1, supp#x C C - , by reflecting with respect to the real axis the part of # which charges C+. Since

(28)

316 V. MATSAEV, I. OSTROVSKII AND M. SODIN

the measure #1 also satisfies the conditions of Theorem 3; and we can define the corresponding generalized canonical integral ul (z) of this measure. Then a straightforward estimate (cf. 6.5) shows that for z E (3+

u(z) <_ ul(z)

The same estimate holds in the lower half-plane, and the general case of Theorem 3
