Fourier Multipliers and Dirac Operators

We use Fourier multipliers of the Dirac operator and Cauchy transform to obtain composition theorems and integral representations. In particular we calculate the multiplier of the -operator. This operator is the hypercomplex version of the Beurling-Ahlfors transform in the plane. The hypercomplex Beurling-Ahlfors transform is a direct generalization of the Beurling-Ahlfors transform and reduces to this operator in the plane. We give an integral representation for iterations of the hypercomplex Buerling-Ahlfors transform and we present here a bound for the -norm. Such -bounds are essential for applications of the Beurling-Ahlfors transformation in the plane. The upper bound presented here is where m is the dimension of the Euclidean space on which the functions are defined, and . We use recent estimates on second order Riesz transforms to obtain this result. Using the Fourier multiplier of the -operator we express this operator as a hypercomplex linear combination of second order Riesz transforms.
