Hilbert, Dirichlet and Fejér families of operators arising from C 0-groups, cosine functions and holomorphic semigroups

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to extend definitions of Hilbert transform, Dirichlet and Fejer operators (defined by convolution with suitable kernels in Lebesgue spaces) in arbitrary Banach spaces. We present a self-contained theory which includes different approaches of other authors whose starting points were usually C 0-groups or cosine functions. We present relations with holomorphic semigroups. We characterize the geometric property of UMD spaces in terms of the Dirichlet and Fejer operators. To end the paper, we give examples to illustrate our results.
