Let G be a locally compact abelian group and ℳ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra with a faithful semifinite normal trace τ. We study Hilbert transforms associated with G-flows on ℳ and closed semigroups Σ of Ĝ satisfying the condition Σ ∪ (-Σ) = Ĝ. We prove that Hilbert transforms on such closed semigroups satisfy a weak-type estimate and can be extended as linear maps from L¹(ℳ,τ) into . As an application, we obtain a Matsaev-type result for p = 1: if x is a quasi-nilpotent compact operator on a Hilbert space and Im(x) belongs to the trace class then the singular values of x are O(1/n).
