Abstract:
We study real Smirnov functions and investigate a certain -closed subalgebra of the Smirnov class containing them. Motivated by a result of Aleksandrov, we provide an explicit representation for the space . This leads to a natural analog of the Riesz projection on a certain quotient space of for . We also study a Herglotz-like integral transform for singular measures on the unit circle .
