A necessary condition for Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operators

Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operators have been extensively studied for almost half a century. This paper provides a context for and proof of the following result: If a Calderón-Zygmund convolution singular integral operator is bounded on the Hardy space H¹ (Rⁿ), then the homogeneous of degree zero kernel is in the Hardy space H¹(S^n–1) on the sphere.     

Traces of functions in Hardy and Besov spaces on Lipschitz domains with applications to compensated compactness and the theory of Hardy and Bergman type spaces

In this paper we study conditions guaranteeing that functions defined on a Lipschitz domain Ω have boundary traces in Hardy and Besov spaces on ∂Ω. In turn these results are used to develop a new approach to the theory of compensated compactness and the theory of non-locally convex Hardy and Bergman type spaces.     

A Constructive Inversion Framework for Twisted Convolution

In this paper we develop constructive invertibility conditions for the twisted convolution. Our approach is based on splitting the twisted convolution with rational parameters into a finite number of weighted convolutions, which can be interpreted as another twisted convolution on a finite cyclic group. In analogy with the twisted convolution of finite discrete signals, we derive an anti-homomorphism between the sequence space and a suitable matrix algebra which preserves the algebraic structure. In this way, the problem reduces to the analysis of finite matrices whose entries are sequences supported on corresponding cosets. The invertibility condition then follows from Cramer’s rule and Wiener’s lemma for this special class of matrices. The problem results from a well known approach of studying the invertibility properties of the Gabor frame operator in the rational case. The presented approach gives further insights into Gabor frames. In particular, it can be applied for both the continuous (on ) and the finite discrete setting. In the latter case, we obtain algorithmic schemes for directly computing the inverse of Gabor frame-type matrices equivalent to those known in the literature.     

Estimates on fractional power dissipative equations in function spaces

We study the fractional power dissipative equations, whose fundamental semigroup is given by e^{−t(−Δ)α} with α>0. By using an argument of duality and interpolation, we extend space-time estimates of the fractional power dissipative equations in Lebesgue spaces to the Hardy spaces and the modulation spaces. These results are substantial extensions of some known results. As applications, we study both local and global well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear fractional power dissipative equation u_t+(−Δ)^αu=|u|^mu for initial data in the modulation spaces.     

Hardy and BMO spaces associated to divergence form elliptic operators

Consider a second order divergence form elliptic operator L with complex bounded measurable coefficients. In general, operators based on L, such as the Riesz transform or square function, may lie beyond the scope of the Calderón–Zygmund theory. They need not be bounded in the classical Hardy, BMO and even some L ^p spaces. In this work we develop a theory of Hardy and BMO spaces associated to L, which includes, in particular, a molecular decomposition, maximal and square function characterizations, duality of Hardy and BMO spaces, and a John–Nirenberg inequality.

Sharp results for the Weyl product on modulation spaces

We give sufficient and necessary conditions on the Lebesgue exponents for the Weyl product to be bounded on modulation spaces. The sufficient conditions are obtained as the restriction to N=2$N=2$ of a result valid for the N-fold Weyl product. As a byproduct, we obtain sharp conditions for the twisted convolution to be bounded on Wiener amalgam spaces.     

Sharp two-weight inequalities for singular integrals, with applications to the Hilbert transform and the Sarason conjecture

We prove two-weight norm inequalities for Calderón-Zygmund singular integrals that are sharp for the Hilbert transform and for the Riesz transforms. In addition, we give results for the dyadic square function and for commutators of singular integrals. As an application we give new results for the Sarason conjecture on the product of unbounded Toeplitz operators on Hardy spaces.     

Continuity properties in non-commutative convolution algebras, with applications in pseudo-differential calculus

We study continuity properties for a family {s_p}_p?1 of increasing Banach algebras under the twisted convolution, which also satisfies that a∈s_p, if and only if the Weyl operator a^w(x,D) is a Schatten-von Neumann operator of order p on L². We discuss inclusion relations between the s_p-spaces, Besov spaces and Sobolev spaces. We prove also a Young type result on s_p for dilated convolution. As an application we prove that f(a)∈s₁, when a∈s₁ and f is an entire odd function. We finally apply the results on Toeplitz operators and prove that we may extend the definition for such operators.     

Characterization of BMO in terms of rearrangement-invariant Banach function spaces

The atomic decomposition of Hardy spaces by atoms defined by rearrangement-invariant Banach function spaces is proved in this paper. Using this decomposition, we obtain the characterizations of BMO and Lipschitz spaces by rearrangement-invariant Banach function spaces. We also provide the sharp function characterization of the rearrangement-invariant Banach function spaces.

Boundedness of composition operators with mixed homogeneities

Suppose that T₁ is a Calderón–Zygmund operator with isotropic homogeneity and T₂ is a Calderón–Zygmund operator with non‐isotropic homogeneity. In this note, the boundedness of the composition operator on the Hardy space is presented. The results in this paper extend earlier related results on convolution operators to non‐convolution setting.

O’Neil Inequality for Multilinear Convolutions and Some Applications

In this paper we prove the O’Neil inequality for the k-linear convolution f ⊗ g. By using the O’Neil inequality for rearrangements we obtain a pointwise rearrangement estimate of the k-linear convolution. As an application, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on the parameters for the boundedness of the k-sublinear fractional maximal operator M _{Ω, α} and k-linear fractional integral operator I _{Ω, α} with rough kernels from the spaces V.S.

Generalized dirac operators on nonsmooth manifolds and Maxwell's equations

We develop a function theory associated with Dirac type operators on Lipschitz subdomains of Riemannian manifolds. The main emphasis is on Hardy spaces and boundary value problems, and our aim is to identify the geometric and analytic assumptions guaranteeing the validity of basic results from complex function theory in this general setting. For example, we study Plemelj-Calderón-Seeley-Bojarski type splittings of Cauchy boundary data into traces of ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ monogenics and show that this problem has finite index. We also consider Szegö projections and the corresponding L^p-decompositions. Our approach relies on an extension of the classical Calderón-Zygmund theory of singular integral operators which allow one to consider Cauchy type operators with variable kernels on Lipschitz graphs. In the second part, where we explore connections with Maxwell's equations, the main novelty is the treatment of the corresponding electro-magnetic boundary value problem by recasting it as a ‘half’ Dirichlet problem for a suitable Dirac operator.     

Weighted norm inequalities for convolution operators and links with the Weiss Conjecture

We study convolution operators on weighted Lebesgue spaces and obtain weight characterisations for boundedness of these operators with certain kernels. Our main result is Theorem 3 which enables us to obtain results for certain kernel functions supported on bounded intervals; in particular we get a direct proof of the known characterisations for Steklov operators in Section 3 by using the weighted Hardy inequality. Our methods also enable us to obtain new results for other kernel functions in Section 4. In Section 5 we demonstrate that these convolution operators are related to operators arising from the Weiss Conjecture (for scalar-valued observation functionals) in linear systems theory, so that results on convolution operators provide elementary examples of nearly bounded semigroups not satisfying the Weiss Conjecture. Also we apply results on the Weiss Conjecture for contraction semigroups to obtain boundedness results for certain convolution operators.     

Hardy spaces and the<Emphasis Type="Italic">Tb</Emphasis> theorem

It is well-known that Calderón-Zygmund operators T are bounded on H^p for\(\frac{n}{{n + 1}}< p \leqslant 1\) provided T*(1) = 0. In this article, it is shown that if T*(b) = 0, where b is a para-accretive function, T is bounded from the classical Hardy space H^p to a new Hardy space H _b ^p . To develop an H _b ^p theory, a discrete Calderón-type reproducing formula and Plancherel-Pôlya-type inequalities associated to a para-accretive function are established. Moreover, David, Journé, and Semmes’ result [9] about the L^P, 1 < p < ∞, boundedness of the Littlewood-Paley g function associated to a para-accretive function is generalized to the case of p ≤ 1. A new characterization of the classical Hardy spaces by using more general cancellation adapted to para-accretive functions is also given. These results complement the celebrated Calderón-Zygmund operator theory.     

Sharp bounds for Hardy operators on product spaces

In this article, we obtain the sharp bounds from L^P$\left({\mathbb{G}}^n\right)$ to the space wL^P$\left({\mathbb{G}}^n\right)$ for Hardy operators on product spaces. More generally, the precise norms of Hardy operators on product spaces from L^P$\left({\mathbb{G}}^n\right)$ to the space L^P_I$\left({\mathbb{G}}^n\right)$ are obtained.
