Conjugate function theory in weak1 Dirichlet algebras

The fundamental theorems on conjugate functions are shown to be valid for weak¹ Dirichlet algebras. In particular the conjugation operator is shown to be a continuous map of L^p to L^p for 1 < p < ∞, to be a continuous map of L¹ to L^p, 0 < p < 1, and to map functions in L^∞ to exponentially integrable functions. These results allow a number of results for Dirichlet algebras to be extended to weak¹ Dirichlet algebras.
