# Everywhere divergence of the one-sided ergodic Hilbert transform

#### Jörg Schmeling - Lund University

For a given number $\alpha\in (0, 1)$ and a 1-periodic function $f$, we study the convergence of the series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{f(x+n\alpha)}{n}$ , called one-sided Hilbert transform relative to the rotation $x \to x + \alpha$ mod 1. Among others, we prove that for any non-polynomial function of class $C^2$ having Taylor-Fourier series (i.e. Fourier coefficients vanish on $\mathbb{Z}_-$), there exists an irrational number $\alpha$ (actually a residual set of $\alpha$'s) such that the series diverges for {\bf all} $x$. We also prove that for {\bf any} irrational number $\alpha$, there exists a continuous function $f$ such that the series diverges for {\bf all} x. The convergence of general series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nf(x + n\alpha)$ is also discussed in different cases involving the diophantine property of the number $\alpha$ and the regularity of the function $f$.
