The Cauchy transform of a measure on the circle is a subject of both classical and current interest with a sizable literature. This book is a thorough, well-documented, and readable survey of this literature and includes full proofs of the main results of the subject. This book also covers more recent perturbation theory as covered by Clark, Poltoratski, and Aleksandrov and contains an in-depth treatment of Clark measures.

Readership

Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in classical and modern complex analysis.

-- Bulletin of the LMS

"Combining both classical and recent result, the book presents a great interest for students, teachers and researchers interested mainly in functional analysis methods in complex analysis. The topics are presented in an elegant manner, with many comments, detours and historical references. The result is a fine book that deserves to be on the bookshelf of each analyst."
