Characterization of the Weak-Type Boundedness of the Hilbert Transform on Weighted Lorentz Spaces

We characterize the weak-type boundedness of the Hilbert transform H on weighted Lorentz spaces $\varLambda^{p}_{u}(w)$ , with p>0, in terms of some geometric conditions on the weights u and w and the weak-type boundedness of the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator on the same spaces. Our results recover simultaneously the theory of the boundedness of H on weighted Lebesgue spaces L ^p (u) and Muckenhoupt weights A _p , and the theory on classical Lorentz spaces Λ ^p (w) and Ariño-Muckenhoupt weights B _p .
