I would like to know whether there exists a Calderon-Zygmund theory discrete singular kernels. In particular I am interested when the discrete operator $T$ with kernel $K(n,m)$ given by $$(Tf)(n)=\sum_{m\neq n}K(n,m)f(m)=\sum_{m\neq n} \frac{m \,\chi(|m|\leq M)}{n^2-m^2}f(m)$$ with $m,n\in \mathbb{Z}$ is bounded as an operator from $\ell^2 \to \ell^2$.

Even more generally, maybe there exists a theorem for even more general discrete kernels, say $$K(n,m)=\frac{\lambda'(m)}{\lambda(n)-\lambda(m)}$$ for some function $\lambda: \mathbb{Z}\to \mathbb{R}$.

References are welcome.

    $\begingroup$ Same story, same theorems, same proofs (though I have no idea if anyone ever bothered to write them down in a textbook). In your particular case, just combine $\chi$ with $f$ and notice that the kernel is the difference $\frac1{n-m}-\frac{1}{n+m}$, so it is just the classical Hilbert transform in disguise (I hope, of course, that you meant $|m|\ne|n|$, not just $m\ne n$).. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Yes, in that case I meant $|m|\neq |n|$. Thanks for the remark. $\endgroup$

Fedja's comment applies perfectly to your situation, but if you are interested in the general picture, here are some references. I am no expert, but I happen to have a paper with Rodrigo Bañuelos, where he wrote in the introduction:

The literature on harmonic analysis in the discrete setting, and in particular on singular integrals and other classical operators, has a long history. In addition to the papers listed above, a good sample of this literature can be found in works by Calderón and Zygmund [10]; Pierce [33]; Lust-Piquard [28]; Stein and Wainger [36], [37]; and Magyar, Stein, and Wainger [29].

Here are the references:
