A matrix Hilbert transform in Hermitean Clifford analysis

Orthogonal Clifford analysis is a higher dimensional function theory offering both a generalization of complex analysis in the plane and a refinement of classical harmonic analysis. During the last years, Hermitean Clifford analysis has emerged as a new and successful branch of it, offering yet a refinement of the orthogonal case. Recently in [F. Brackx, B. De Knock, H. De Schepper, D. Peña Peña, F. Sommen, submitted for publication], a Hermitean Cauchy integral was constructed in the framework of circulant (2×2) matrix functions. In the present paper, a new Hermitean Hilbert transform is introduced, arising naturally as part of the non-tangential boundary limits of that Hermitean Cauchy integral. The resulting matrix operator is shown to satisfy properly adapted analogues of the characteristic properties of the Hilbert transform in classical analysis and orthogonal Clifford analysis
