$L^2$ bounds for a maximal directional Hilbert transform

Jongchon Kim and Malabika Pramanik

Vol. 15 (2022), No. 3, 753–794
Abstract

Given any finite direction set Ω of cardinality N in Euclidean space, we consider the maximal directional Hilbert transform HΩ associated to this direction set. Our main result provides an essentially sharp uniform bound, depending only on N, for the L2 operator norm of HΩ in dimensions 3 and higher. The main ingredients of the proof consist of polynomial partitioning tools from incidence geometry and an almost-orthogonality principle for HΩ. The latter principle can also be used to analyze special direction sets Ω and derive sharp L2 estimates for the corresponding operator HΩ that are typically stronger than the uniform L2 bound mentioned above. A number of such examples are discussed.
