Banach space sequences and projective tensor products

In this paper we use results from the theory of tensor products of Banach spaces to establish the isometry of the space of (1,p)-summing sequences (also known as strongly p-summable sequences) in a Banach space X, the space of nuclear X-valued operators on ?^p and the complete projective tensor product of ?^p with X. Through similar techniques from the theory of tensor products, the isometry of the sequence space L^p〈X〉 (recently introduced in a paper by Bu, Quaestiones Math. (2002), to appear), the space of nuclear X-valued operators on L^p(0,1) (with a suitable equivalent norm) and the complete projective tensor product of L^p(0,1) with X is established. Moreover, we find conditions for the space of (p,q)-summing multipliers to have the GAK-property (generalized AK-property), use multiplier sequences to characterize Banach space valued bounded linear operators on the vector sequence space of absolutely p-summable sequences in a Banach space and present short proofs for results on p-summing multipliers.     

On a Generalization of Szász–Mirakjan–Kantorovich Operators

In this paper we introduce and study a sequence of positive linear operators acting on suitable spaces of measurable functions on [0,+∞[, including L ^p ([0,+∞[) spaces, 1 ≤ p < +∞, as well as continuous function spaces with polynomial weights. These operators generalize the Szász–Mirakjan–Kantorovich operators and they allow to approximate (or to reconstruct) suitable measurable functions by knowing their mean values on a sequence of subintervals of [0,+∞[ that do not constitute a subdivision of it. We also give some estimates of the rates of convergence by means of suitable moduli of smoothness.     

Hardy Spaces, Regularized BMO Spaces and the Boundedness of Calderón–Zygmund Operators on Non-homogeneous Spaces

One defines a non-homogeneous space (X,μ) as a metric space equipped with a non-doubling measure μ so that the volume of the ball with center x, radius r has an upper bound of the form r ⁿ for some n>0. The aim of this paper is to study the boundedness of Calderón–Zygmund singular integral operators T on various function spaces on (X,μ) such as the Hardy spaces, the L ^p spaces, and the regularized BMO spaces. This article thus extends the work of X. Tolsa (Math. Ann. 319:89–149, 2011) on the non-homogeneous space (? ⁿ ,μ) to the setting of a general non-homogeneous space (X,μ). Our framework of the non-homogeneous space (X,μ) is similar to that of Hytönen (2011) and we are able to obtain quite a few properties similar to those of Calderón–Zygmund operators on doubling spaces such as the weak type (1,1) estimate, boundedness from Hardy space into L ¹, boundedness from L ^∞ into the regularized BMO, and an interpolation theorem. Furthermore, we prove that the dual space of the Hardy space is the regularized BMO space, obtain a Calderón–Zygmund decomposition on the non-homogeneous space (X,μ), and use this decomposition to show the boundedness of the maximal operators in the form of a Cotlar inequality as well as the boundedness of commutators of Calderón–Zygmund operators and BMO functions.     

Vector-valued multiparameter singular integrals and pseudodifferential operators

We consider multiparameter singular integrals and pseudodifferential operators acting on mixed-norm Bochner spaces Lp₁,…,pN(Rn₁×?×RnN;X) where X is a UMD Banach space satisfying Pisier's property (α). These geometric conditions are shown to be necessary. We obtain a vector-valued version of a result by R. Fefferman and Stein, also providing a new, inductive proof of the original scalar-valued theorem. Then we extend a result of Bourgain on singular integrals in UMD spaces with an unconditional basis to a multiparameter situation. Finally we carry over a result of Yamazaki on pseudodifferential operators to the Bochner space setting, improving the known vector-valued results even in the one-parameter case.     

Hardy and Carleson Measure Spaces Associated with Operators on Spaces of Homogeneous Type

Let (X, d, μ) be a metric measure space with doubling property. The Hardy spaces associated with operators L were introduced and studied by many authors. All these spaces, however, were first defined by L ²(X) functions and finally the Hardy spaces were formally defined by the closure of these subspaces of L ²(X) with respect to Hardy spaces norms. A natural and interesting question in this context is to characterize the closure. The purpose of this paper is to answer this question. More precisely, we will introduce \({CMO}_{L}^{p}(X)\), the Carleson measure spaces associated with operators L, and characterize the Hardy spaces associated with operators L via \(({CMO}_{L}^{p}(X))'\), the distributions of \({CMO}_{L}^{p}(X)\).     

Weighted norm inequalities, Gaussian bounds and sharp spectral multipliers

Let L be a non-negative self-adjoint operator acting on L²(X) where X is a space of homogeneous type. Assume that L generates a holomorphic semigroup e−tL whose kernels pt(x,y) have Gaussian upper bounds but there is no assumption on the regularity in variables x and y. In this article, we study weighted Lp-norm inequalities for spectral multipliers of L. We show that sharp weighted Hörmander-type spectral multiplier theorems follow from Gaussian heat kernel bounds and appropriate L² estimates of the kernels of the spectral multipliers. These results are applicable to spectral multipliers for large classes of operators including Laplace operators acting on Lie groups of polynomial growth or irregular non-doubling domains of Euclidean spaces, elliptic operators on compact manifolds and Schrödinger operators with non-negative potentials.     

Θ-type Calderón-Zygmund operators with non-doubling measures

Let µ be a Radon measure on ? ^d which may be non-doubling. The only condition that µ must satisfy is µ(B(x, r)) ≤ Cr ⁿ for all x∈? ^d , r > 0 and for some fixed 0 < n ≤ d. In this paper, under this assumption, we prove that θ-type Calderón-Zygmund operator which is bounded on L ²(µ) is also bounded from L ^∞(µ) into RBMO(µ) and from H _atb ^1,∞ (µ) into L ¹(µ). According to the interpolation theorem introduced by Tolsa, the L ^p (µ)-boundedness (1 < p < ∞) is established for θ-type Calderón-Zygmund operators. Via a sharp maximal operator, it is shown that commutators and multilinear commutators of θ-type Calderón-Zygmund operator with RBMO(µ) function are bounded on L ^p (µ) (1 < p < ∞).     

Kato's square root problem in Banach spaces

Let L be an elliptic differential operator with bounded measurable coefficients, acting in Bochner spaces Lp(Rn;X) of X -valued functions on Rn. We characterize Kato's square root estimates and the H^∞-functional calculus of L in terms of R-boundedness properties of the resolvent of L, when X is a Banach function lattice with the UMD property, or a noncommutative Lp space. To do so, we develop various vector-valued analogues of classical objects in Harmonic Analysis, including a maximal function for Bochner spaces. In the special case X=C, we get a new approach to the Lp theory of square roots of elliptic operators, as well as an Lp version of Carleson's inequality.     

Boundedness of pseudodifferential operators on modulation spaces

We study classes of pseudodifferential operators which are bounded on large collections of modulation spaces. The conditions on the operators are stated in terms of the L^p,q estimates for the continuous Gabor transforms of their symbols. In particular, we show how these classes are related to the class of operators of Gröchenig and Heil, which is bounded on all modulation spaces.     

Fredholmness of pseudodifference operators in weighted Spaces

The aim of the paper is to present some results concerning pseudodifference operators on ?^N, which are a discrete analog of standard pseudodifferential operators on ?^N. We study the Fredholm property of pseudodifference operators acting in weighted l ^p spaces on ?^N and the Phragmen-Lindelöf principle for solutions of pseudodifference equations and give applications of these results to discrete Schrö dinger operators on ?^N.     

Subspaces of L p that embed into L p (µ) with µ finite

Enflo and Rosenthal [4] proved that ? _p (?₁), 1 < p < 2, does not (isomorphically) embed into L _p (µ) with µ a finite measure. We prove that if X is a subspace of an L _p space, 1 < p < 2, and ? _p (?₁) does not embed into X, then X embeds into L _p (µ) for some finite measure µ.     

A note on the generalized Marcinkiewicz integral operators with rough kernels

In this paper,we study the generalized Marcinkiewicz integral operators MΩ,r on the product space Rn×Rm.Under the condition that Ω is a function in certain block spaces,which is optimal in some senses,the boundedness of such operators from Triebel-Lizorkin spaces to Lp spaces is obtained.     

Boundedness of paraproduct operators on RD-spaces

Let(X,d,μ) be an RD-space with "dimension" n,namely,a space of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman and Weiss satisfying a certain reverse doubling condition.Using the Calder'on reproducing formula,the authors hereby establish boundedness for paraproduct operators from the product of Hardy spaces H p(X) × H q(X) to the Hardy space H r(X),where p,q,r ∈(n/(n + 1),∞) satisfy 1/p + 1/q = 1/r.Certain endpoint estimates are also obtained.In view of the lack of the Fourier transform in this setting,the proofs are based on the derivation of appropriate kernel estimates.     

Sharp continuity results for the short-time Fourier transform and for localization operators

We completely characterize the boundedness on Wiener amalgam spaces of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), and on both L ^p and Wiener amalgam spaces of a special class of pseudodifferential operators, called localization operators. Precisely, sufficient conditions for the STFT to be bounded on the Wiener amalgam spaces W(L ^p , L ^q ) are given and their sharpness is shown. Localization operators are treated similarly: using different techniques from those employed in the literature, we relax the known sufficient boundedness conditions for these operators to be bounded on L ^p spaces and prove the optimality of our results. Next, we exhibit sufficient and necessary conditions for such operators to be bounded on Wiener amalgam spaces.     

Pseudodifferential operators on Bochner spaces and an application

We consider pseudodifferential operators with operator valued symbols a(x,ξ) acting on a UMD Banach space X. Assuming some regularity of Hölder type in x and Mihlin type in ξ we prove L _p (? ⁿ ;X) boundedness of such operators. This result is then applied to the study of L _p -maximal regularity for nonautonomous parabolic evolution equations.     

The Witten deformation for even dimensional spaces with cone-like singularities and admissible Morse functions

In this Note we generalise the Witten deformation to even dimensional Riemannian manifolds with cone-like singularities X and certain functions f, which we call admissible Morse functions. As a corollary we get Morse inequalities for the L²-Betti numbers of X. The contribution of a singular point p of X to the Morse inequalities can be expressed in terms of the intersection cohomology of the local Morse datum of f at p. The definition of the class of functions which we study here is inspired by stratified Morse theory as developed by Goresky and MacPherson. However the setting here is different since the spaces considered here are manifolds with cone-like singularities instead of Whitney stratified spaces.     

Best constants for Hausdorff operators on n-dimensional product spaces

In this paper, we study some new kinds of Hausdorff operators on n-dimensional product spaces. We obtain their power weights from L ^p to L ^q boundedness and characterize the necessary and sufficient conditions for the operators being bounded on power weight L ^p spaces. Moreover, we get the sharp constants for the case p = q.     

A local version of Hardy spaces associated with operators on metric spaces

Let(X,d,μ) be a metric measure space endowed with a distance d and a nonnegative Borel doubling measure μ.Let L be a second order self-adjoint positive operator on L2(X).Assume that the semigroup e tL generated by L satisfies the Gaussian upper bounds on L 2(X).In this article we study a local version of Hardy space h1L(X) associated with L in terms of the area function characterization,and prove their atomic characters.Furthermore,we introduce a Moser type local boundedness condition for L,and then we apply this condition to show that the space h1L(X) can be characterized in terms of the Littlewood-Paley function.Finally,a broad class of applications of these results is described.     

Bounds for the weighted Lp discrepancy and tractability of integration

Quite recently Sloan and Woźniakowski (J. Complexity 14 (1998) 1) introduced a new notion of discrepancy, the so-called weighted L^p discrepancy of points in the d-dimensional unit cube for a sequence γ=(γ₁,γ₂,…) of weights. In this paper we prove a nice formula for the weighted L^p discrepancy for even p. We use this formula to derive an upper bound for the average weighted L^p discrepancy. This bound enables us to give conditions on the sequence of weights γ such that there exists N points in [0,1)^d for which the weighted L^p discrepancy is uniformly bounded in d and goes to zero polynomially in N⁻¹.Finally we use these facts to generalize some results from Sloan and Woźniakowski (1998) on (strong) QMC-tractability of integration in weighted Sobolev spaces.     

Tent spaces associated with semigroups of operators

We study tent spaces on general measure spaces (Ω,μ). We assume that there exists a semigroup of positive operators on Lp(Ω,μ) satisfying a monotone property but do not assume any geometric/metric structure on Ω. The semigroup plays the same role as integrals on cones and cubes in Euclidean spaces. We then study BMO spaces on general measure spaces and get an analogue of Fefferman's H¹-BMO duality theory. We also get a H¹-BMO duality inequality without assuming the monotone property. All the results are proved in a more general setting, namely for noncommutative Lp spaces.
