Abstract
Weighted discrete Hilbert transforms
from ℓ 2 υ to ℓ 2 w are considered, where Γ = (γ n ) and ∧ = (λ j ) are disjoint sequences of points in the complex plane and υ = (υ n ) and ω = (ω j ) are positive weight sequences. It is shown that if such a Hilbert transform is unitary, then Γ ∪ Λ is a subset of a circle or a straight line, and a description of all unitary discrete Hilbert transforms is then given. A characterization of the orthogonal bases of reproducing kernels introduced by L. de Branges and D. Clark is implicit in these results: if a Hilbert space of complex-valued functions defined on a subset of ℂ satisfies a few basic axioms and has more than one orthogonal basis of reproducing kernels, then these bases are all of Clark’s type.
