We consider a convolution operator Tf = p.v. Ω ⁎ f with $\Omega \left(x\right)=K\left(x\right)e^{ih\left(x\right)}$, where K(x) is an (n,β) kernel near the origin and an (α,β), α ≥ n, kernel away from the origin; h(x) is a real-valued $C^{\infty }$ function on ${ℝ}^n\setminus 0$. We give a criterion for such an operator to be bounded from the space $H_0^p\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ into itself.

We continue our study of outer elements of the noncommutative $H^p$ spaces associated with Arveson’s subdiagonal algebras. We extend our generalized inner-outer factorization theorem, and our characterization of outer elements, to include the case of elements with zero determinant. In addition, we make several further contributions to the theory of outers. For example, we generalize the classical fact that outers in $H^p$ actually satisfy the stronger condition that there exist aₙ ∈ A with haₙ ∈ Ball(A)...
