The two-weight inequality for the Hilbert transform with general measures

The two-weight inequality for the Hilbert transform is characterized for an arbitrary pair of positive Radon measures $\sigma$ and $w$ on $\mathbb R$. In particular, the possibility of common point masses is allowed, lifting a restriction from the recent solution of the two-weight problem by Lacey, Sawyer, Shen and Uriarte-Tuero. Our characterization is in terms of Sawyer-type testing conditions and a variant of the two-weight $A_2$ condition, where $\sigma$ and $w$ are integrated over complementary intervals only. A key novely of the proof is a two-weight inequality for the Poisson integral with `holes'.
