Hilbert transforms for groups acting on R-trees

The Hilbert transform H is a basic example of a Fourier multiplier. Riesz proved that H is a bounded operator on L p (T) for all 1 < p < ∞. We study Hilbert transform type Fourier multipliers on group algebras and their boundedness on corresponding non-commutative L p spaces. The pioneering work in this direction is due to Mei and Ricard who proved L p -boundedness of Hilbert transforms on free group von Neumann algebras using a Cotlar identity. In this talk, we introduce a generalised Cotlar identity and a new geometric form of Hilbert transform for groups acting on R-trees. This class of groups includes free groups, amalgamated free products, HNN extensions, totally ordered groups and many others.
