Two Weight Inequality for the Hilbert Transform: A Real Variable Characterization, II

A conjecture of Nazarov–Treil–Volberg on the two weight inequality for the Hilbert transform is verified. Given two non-negative Borel measures u and w on the real line, the Hilbert transform $H_u$ maps $L^2(u)$ to $L^2(w)$ if and only if the pair of measures of satisfy a Poisson $A_2$ condition, and dual collections of testing conditions, uniformly over all intervals. This strengthens a prior characterization of Lacey-Sawyer-Shen-Uriate-Tuero arxiv:1201.4319. The latter paper includes a `Global to Local’ reduction. This article solves the Local problem.
