ABSTRACT. The smoothness of conjugate functions of several variables is studied in terms of the second moduli of smoothness. It is proved that in a sufficiently general case the invariance of the classes considered is violated in just the same way as for classes specified by moduli of continuity.KEY WORDS: conjugation operator, function of several variables, modulus of smoothness, Chebyshev norm.w Let R" , , m > 1 be the m-dimensional Euclidean space of points z = (Zx,.. , xm) with real coordinates. Consider the set M = {1,..., m}. Let B be an arbitrary nonempty subset of M, and let CMB be the complement of B in M. We denote by IB[ the cardinality of B and by zB a point in R" whose coordinates with indices from CMB are necessarily zero.
