      We then use a limiting Cauchy integral along level curves of Green's function to show that the Plemelj-Sokhotski jump formula holds on quasicircles with boundary data in the Douglas-Osborn space, which also enable us to prove the well-posedness of a Riemann-Hilbert problem with boundary data in Douglas-Osborn space on quasicircles.
