The NTV conjecture for the Hilbert transform

Let bb and bb be weights on bnb^n, let HH be the Hilbert transform, and let bQb_Q denote the two-tailed auxiliary function associated with a cube QQ. Write bQb_Q and bQb_Q for the bb- and bb-measures of QQ, respectively. NTV conjecture. The Hilbert transform is bounded from L2(Rn;σ)L^2(\mathbb{R}^n;\sigma) to L2(Rn;ω)L^2(\mathbb{R}^n;\omega), namely

H(fσ)L2(Rn;ω)fL2(Rn;σ),fL2(Rn;σ),\left\Vert H(f\sigma)\right\Vert_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^n;\omega)}\lesssim \left\Vert f\right\Vert_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^n;\sigma)},\qquad f\in L^2(\mathbb{R}^n;\sigma),

if and only if the two-weight A2A_2 condition with two tails holds,

(1QQsQ2dω(x))(1QQsQ2dσ(x))1,\left(\frac{1}{|Q|}\int_Q \mathbf{s}_Q^2\,d\omega(x)\right)\left(\frac{1}{|Q|}\int_Q \mathbf{s}_Q^2\,d\sigma(x)\right)\lesssim 1,

uniformly over all cubes QQ, and the testing conditions

H1QσL2(Rn;ω)Qσ,H1QωL2(Rn;σ)Qω\left\Vert H\mathbf{1}_Q\sigma\right\Vert_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^n;\omega)}\lesssim \sqrt{|Q|_\sigma},\qquad \left\Vert H^*\mathbf{1}_Q\omega\right\Vert_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^n;\sigma)}\lesssim \sqrt{|Q|_\omega}

hold uniformly over all cubes QQ. This is the two-weight characterization sought for the Hilbert transform, extending the positive fractional-integral theory to a nonpositive singular kernel; the source does not state a resolution.
