Sharp weak-type inequalities for Hilbert transform and Riesz projection

The paper is devoted to the study of the weak norms of the classical operators in the vector-valued setting.

1. Let S, H denote the singular integral involution operator and the Hilbert transform on $L^p \left( {\mathbb{T}, \ell _\mathbb{C}^2 } \right)$ , respectively. Then for 1 ≤ p ≤ 2 and any f, $$\left\| {\mathcal{S}f} \right\|_{p,\infty } \leqslant \left( {\frac{1} {\pi }\int_{ - \infty }^\infty {\frac{{\left| {\tfrac{2} {\pi }\log \left| t \right|} \right|^p }} {{t^2 + 1}}dt} } \right)^{ - 1/p} \left\| f \right\|p,$$ $$\left\| {\mathcal{H}f} \right\|_{p,\infty } \leqslant \left( {\frac{1} {\pi }\int_{ - \infty }^\infty {\frac{{\left| {\tfrac{2} {\pi }\log \left| t \right|} \right|^p }} {{t^2 + 1}}dt} } \right)^{ - 1/p} \left\| f \right\|p.$$ Both inequalities are sharp.
2. Let P ₊ and P _? stand for the Riesz projection and the co-analytic projection on $L^p \left( {\mathbb{T}, \ell _\mathbb{C}^2 } \right)$ , respectively. Then for 1 ≤ p ≤ 2 and any f, $$\left\| {P + f} \right\|_{p,\infty } \leqslant \left\| f \right\|_p ,$$ $$\left\| {P - f} \right\|_{p,\infty } \leqslant \left\| f \right\|_p .$$ Both inequalities are sharp.
3. We establish the sharp versions of the estimates above in the nonperiodic case.

The results are new even if the operators act on complex-valued functions. The proof rests on the construction of an appropriate plurisubharmonic function and probabilistic techniques.     

Applications of weighted estimates of Calderon’s commutators

The paper introduces singular integral operators of a new type defined in the space L ^p with the weight function on the complex plane. For these operators, norm estimates are derived. Namely, if V is a complex-valued function on the complex plane satisfying the condition |V(z) ? V(??)| ?? w|z ? ??| and F is an entire function, then we put $$P_F^* f(z) = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{\varepsilon > 0} \left| {\int\limits_{\left| {\zeta - z} \right| > \varepsilon } {F\left( {\frac{{V(\zeta ) - V(z)}} {{\zeta - z}}} \right)\frac{{f(\zeta )}} {{\left( {\zeta - z} \right)^2 }}d\sigma (\zeta )} } \right|.$$ It is shown that if the weight function ?? is a Muckenhoupt A _p weight for 1 < p < ??, then $$\left\| {P_F^* f} \right\|_{p,\omega } \leqslant C(F,w,p)\left\| f \right\|_{p,\omega } .$$ .     

New Orlicz variants of Hardy type inequalities with power, power-logarithmic, and power-exponential weights

We obtain Hardy type inequalities $$\int_0^\infty {M\left( {\omega \left( r \right)\left| {u\left( r \right)} \right|} \right)\rho \left( r \right)dr} \leqslant C_1 \int_0^\infty {M\left( {\left| {u\left( r \right)} \right|} \right)\rho \left( r \right)dr + C_2 \int_0^\infty {M\left( {\left| {u'\left( r \right)} \right|} \right)\rho \left( r \right)dr,} }$$ and their Orlicz-norm counterparts $$\left\| {\omega u} \right\|_{L^M (\mathbb{R}_ + ,\rho )} \leqslant \tilde C_1 \left\| u \right\|_{L^M (\mathbb{R}_ + ,\rho )} + \tilde C_2 \left\| {u'} \right\|_{L^M (\mathbb{R}_ + ,\rho )} ,$$ with an N-function M, power, power-logarithmic and power-exponential weights ??, ??, holding on suitable dilation invariant supersets of C ₀ ^?? (?₊). Maximal sets of admissible functions u are described. This paper is based on authors?? earlier abstract results and applies them to particular classes of weights.     

On the best constants in the Khintchine inequality for Steinhaus variables

Let S _j : (Ω, P) → S ¹ ? ? be an i.i.d. sequence of Steinhaus random variables, i.e. variables which are uniformly distributed on the circle S ¹. We determine the best constants a _p in the Khintchine-type inequality $${a_p}{\left\| x \right\|_2} \leqslant {\left( {{\text{E}}{{\left| {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^n {{x_j}{S_j}} } \right|}^p}} \right)^{1/p}} \leqslant {\left\| x \right\|_2};{\text{ }}x = ({x_j})_{j = 1}^n \in {{\Bbb C}^n}$$ for 0 < p < 1, verifying a conjecture of U. Haagerup that $${a_p} = \min \left( {\Gamma {{\left( {\frac{p}{2} + 1} \right)}^{1/p}},\sqrt 2 {{\left( {{{\Gamma \left( {\frac{{p + 1}}{2}} \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\Gamma \left( {\frac{{p + 1}}{2}} \right)} {\left[ {\Gamma \left( {\frac{p}{2} + 1} \right)\sqrt \pi } \right]}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left[ {\Gamma \left( {\frac{p}{2} + 1} \right)\sqrt \pi } \right]}}} \right)}^{1/p}}} \right)$$ . Both expressions are equal for p = p ₀ }~ 0.4756. For p ≥ 1 the best constants a _p have been known for some time. The result implies for a norm 1 sequence x ∈ ? ⁿ , ‖x‖₂ = 1, that $${\text{E}}\ln \left| {\frac{{{S_1} + {S_2}}}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right| \leqslant {\text{E}}\ln \left| {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^n {{x_j}{S_j}} } \right|$$ , answering a question of A. Baernstein and R. Culverhouse.

Precise inequalities for norms of functions,third partial,second mixed,or directional derivatives

For functions f which are bounded throughout the plane R₂ together with the partial derivatives f(^3,0) f(_0,3), inequalities $$\left\| {f^{(1,1)} } \right\| \leqslant \sqrt[3]{3}\left\| f \right\|^{{\raise0.7ex\hbox{$1$} \!\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 3}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}\!\lower0.7ex\hbox{$3$}}} \left\| {f^{(3,0)} } \right\|^{{\raise0.7ex\hbox{$1$} \!\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 3}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}\!\lower0.7ex\hbox{$3$}}} \left\| {f^{(0,3)} } \right\|^{{\raise0.7ex\hbox{$1$} \!\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 3}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}\!\lower0.7ex\hbox{$3$}}} ,\left\| {f_e^{(2)} } \right\| \leqslant \sqrt[3]{3}\left\| f \right\|^{{\raise0.7ex\hbox{$1$} \!\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 3}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}\!\lower0.7ex\hbox{$3$}}} \left( {\left\| {f^{(3,0)} } \right\|^{{\raise0.7ex\hbox{$1$} \!\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 3}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}\!\lower0.7ex\hbox{$3$}}} \left| {e_1 } \right| + \left\| {f^{(0,3)} } \right\|^{{\raise0.7ex\hbox{$1$} \!\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 3}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}\!\lower0.7ex\hbox{$3$}}} \left| {e_2 } \right|} \right)^2 ,$$ are established, where ∥?∥denotes the upper bound on R² of the absolute values of the corresponding function, andf _fe ⁽²⁾ is the second derivative in the direction of the unit vector e=(e₁, e₂). Functions are exhibited for which these inequalities become equalities.

Convergence of biorthogonal series in the system of contractions and translations of functions in the spaces L p [0, 1]

We obtain conditions for the convergence in the spaces L ^p [0, 1], 1 ≤ p < ∞, of biorthogonal series of the form $$ f = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {(f,\psi _n )\phi _n } $$ in the system {? _n } _n≥0 of contractions and translations of a function ?. The proposed conditions are stated with regard to the fact that the functions belong to the space $ \mathfrak{L}^p $ of absolutely bundleconvergent Fourier-Haar series with norm $$ \left\| f \right\|_p^ * = \left| {f,\chi _0 } \right| + \sum\limits_{k = 0}^\infty {2^{k({1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2} - {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 p}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} p})} } \left( {\sum\limits_{n = 2^k }^{2^{k + 1} - 1} {\left| {f,\chi _n } \right|^p } } \right)^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 p}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} p}} , $$ where (f,χ _n ), n = 0, 1, ..., are the Fourier coefficients of a function f ? L ^p [0, 1] in the Haar system {χ _n } _n≥0. In particular, we present conditions for the system {? _n } _n≥0 of contractions and translations of a function ? to be a basis for the spaces L ^p [0, 1] and $ \mathfrak{L}^p $ .

Pointwise and uniform estimates for convex approximation of functions by algebraic polynomials

Let Δ ^q be the set of functionsf for which theqth difference, is nonnegative on the interval [? 1,1],P _n is the set of algebraic polynomials of degree not exceedingn, τ _k (f, δ) _p is the averaged Sendov-Popov modulus of smoothness in theL _p [?1,1] metric for 1≦p≦∞, ω _k (f, δ) and $\omega _\phi ^k (f,\delta ),\phi (x): = \sqrt {1 - x^2 } ,$ , are the usual modulus and the Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness in the uniform metric, respectively. For a functionf∈C[?1,1]?Δ² we construct a polynomialp _n ∈P _n ?Δ² such that $$\begin{gathered} \left| {f(x) - p_n (x)} \right| \leqslant C\omega _3 (f,n^{ - 1} \sqrt {1 - x^2 } + n^{ - 2} ),x \in [ - 1,1]; \hfill \\ \left\| {f - p_n } \right\|_\infty \leqslant C\omega _\phi ^3 (f,n^{ - 1} ); \hfill \\ \left\| {f - p_n } \right\|_p \leqslant C\tau _3 (f,n^{ - 1} )_p . \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ As a consequence, for a functionf∈C ²[?1,1]?Δ³ a polynomialp _n ^* ∈P _n ?Δ³ exists such that $$\left\| {f - p_n^* } \right\|_\infty \leqslant Cn^{ - 1} \omega _2 (f\prime ,n^{ - 1} ),$$ wheren≥2 andC is an absolute constant.
