Bounds for the Hilbert Transform with Matrix $A_2$ Weights

Let $W$ denote a matrix $A_2$ weight. In this paper, we implement a scalar argument using the square function to deduce square-function type results for vector-valued functions in $L^2(mathbb{R},mathbb{C}^d)$. These results are then used to study the boundedness of the Hilbert transform and Haar multipliers on $L^2(mathbb{R},mathbb{C}^d)$. Our proof shortens the original argument by Treil and Volberg and improves the dependence on the $A_2$ characteristic. In particular, we prove that the Hilbert transform and Haar multipliers map $L^2(mathbb{R},W,mathbb{C}^d)$ to itself with dependence on on the $A_2$ characteristic at most $[W]_{A_2}^{frac{3}{2}} log [W]_{A_2}$.
