Weyl multipliers for invariant Sobelev spaces

A concrete characterization for theL ^P -multipliers (1<p<∞) for the Weyl transform is obtained. This is used to study the Weyl multipliers for Laguerre Sobolev spacesW ^m,p (? ⁿ ). A dual space characterization is obtained for the Weyl multiplier classM _W (W _L ^m,1 (? ⁿ )).     

Weyl product algebras and modulation spaces

We discuss algebraic properties of the Weyl product acting on modulation spaces. For a certain class of weight functions ω we prove that is an algebra under the Weyl product if p∈[1,∞] and 1?q?min(p,p^′). For the remaining cases p∈[1,∞] and min(p,p^′)<q?∞ we show that the unweighted spaces Mp,q are not algebras under the Weyl product.     

Quasisimilarity of power bounded operators and Blum-Hanson property

We construct a power bounded operator on a Hilbert space which is not quasisimilar to a contraction. To this aim, we solve an open problem from operator ergodic theory showing that there are power bounded Hilbert space operators without the Blum-Hanson property. We also find an example of a power bounded operator quasisimilar to a unitary operator which is not similar to a contraction, thus answering negatively open questions raised by Kérchy and Cassier. On the positive side, we prove that contractions on ?p spaces (1?p<∞) possess the Blum-Hanson property.     

Wavelet and Weyl Transforms Associated with the Spherical Mean Operator

The admissible wavelets associated with spherical mean operator and corresponding Weyl transforms are defined. The admissible condition is given in the generalized Fourier transforms, and Plancherel formula, Parseval formula, Reproducing formula and Reproducing kernel are studied. The criteria of boundedness of the Weyl transform on the L^p– spaces is given in term of the symbol function .     

Positive definite symmetric functions on linear spaces

If Φ is a positive definite function on a real linear space E of infinite dimension and Φ enjoys certain symmetry conditions we are able to show that Φ is expressible as a certain Laplace-Stieltjes transform. Conversely, if Φ is given by such a transform we can often show that Φ is positive definite on E. In particular, our results apply to the L^p spaces, 0 < p < ∞, as well as to other Orlicz spaces. We also are able to show that the only positive definite continuous sup-norm symmetric functions on C(T), the space of bounded real continuous functions on T, are constants whenever C(T) contains a sequence of functions with sup-norm one and disjoint support. Finally, we apply these ideas to obtain a result on radial exponentially convex functions on a Hilbert space.     

Weighted norm inequalities, off-diagonal estimates and elliptic operators. Part I: General operator theory and weights

This is the first part of a series of four articles. In this work, we are interested in weighted norm estimates. We put the emphasis on two results of different nature: one is based on a good-λ inequality with two parameters and the other uses Calderón-Zygmund decomposition. These results apply well to singular “non-integral” operators and their commutators with bounded mean oscillation functions. Singular means that they are of order 0, “non-integral” that they do not have an integral representation by a kernel with size estimates, even rough, so that they may not be bounded on all Lp spaces for 1<p<∞. Pointwise estimates are then replaced by appropriate localized Lp-Lq estimates. We obtain weighted Lp estimates for a range of p that is different from (1,∞) and isolate the right class of weights. In particular, we prove an extrapolation theorem “à la Rubio de Francia” for such a class and thus vector-valued estimates.     

Sufficient conditions for the Lebesgue integrability of Fourier transforms

We give sufficient conditions for the Lebesgue integrability of the Fourier transform of a function f ∈ L ^p (?) for some 1 < p ≤ 2. These sufficient conditions are in terms of the L ^p integral modulus of continuity of f; in particular, they apply for functions in the integral Lipschitz class Lip(α, p) and for functions of bounded s-variation for some 0 < s < p. Our theorems are nonperiodic versions of the classical theorems of Bernstein, Szász, Zygmund and Salem, and recent theorems of Gogoladze and Meskhia on the absolute convergence of Fourier series.     

A note on Faber operator

For a rectifable Jordan curve Γ with complementary domainsD and D,Anderson conjectured that the Faber operator is a bounded isomorphism between the Besov spaces Bp(1 p ∞) of analytic functions in the unit disk and in the inner domain D,respectively.We point out that the conjecture is not true in the special case p=2,and show that in this case the Faber operator is a bounded isomorphism if and only if Γ is a quasi-circle.     

La fonction maximale de Hardy–Littlewood sur une classe d'espaces métriques mesurables

In this Note, we study the behavior of the Hardy–Littlewood maximal function M on cusp manifolds in terms of the growth of the volume of the base space. In particular, we prove that for all 1<p₀<+∞ fixed, there exists such a manifold on which M is bounded on L^p for p>p₀ but not for 1?p<p₀. To cite this article: H.-Q. Li, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser.

Weyl transforms associated with the Hankel transform in Clifford analysis

In this paper, we define the Hankel–Wigner transform in Clifford analysis and therefore define the corresponding Weyl transform. We present some properties of this kind of Hankel–Wigner transform, and then give the criteria of the boundedness of the Weyl transform and compactness on the L^p space.

Lévy processes and Fourier multipliers

We study Fourier multipliers which result from modulating jumps of Lévy processes. Using the theory of martingale transforms we prove that these operators are bounded in Lp(Rd) for 1<p<∞ and we obtain the same explicit bound for their norm as the one known for the second order Riesz transforms.     

Bounded point evaluations and capacity

Let E be a compact set in the complex plane with positive Lebesgue measure, and denote by R^p(E), p ? 1, the closure in the L^p(E) norm of the rational functions with poles off E. A point z?E is said to be a bounded point evaluation for R^p(E) if the map z   ?(z), defined for the rational functions, can be extended to a bounded linear functional on R^p(E). For p < 2 there are no other bounded point evaluations for R^p(E) than the interior points of E, but for p ? 2 there may be bounded point evaluations on the boundary, ∂E. We give a condition, in terms of capacity, which is necessary and sufficient for a point on ∂E to be a bounded point evaluation for R^p(E), 2 < p < ∞, and close to necessary and sufficient when p = 2. We also treat bounded point derivations, and the corresponding problems for L_p-spaces of analytic functions on open sets.     

Commutators on Lipschitz spaces and related function spaces

We characterize the symbol functions so that the associated commutators with symbol functions and the Hilbert transform are bounded on Lipschitz space Λ _α ^p , where 1 < p < ∞ and 0 < α < 1/p. Properties of such symbols are also discussed.      

Necessary and sufficient conditions for boundedness of some commutators with weighted Lipschitz functions

In this paper we show that b∈Lipβ,μ if and only if the commutator [b,T] of the multiplication operator by b and the singular integral operator T is bounded from Lp(μ) to Lq(μ1−q), where 1<p<q<∞, 0<β<1 and 1/q=1/p−β/n. Also we will obtain that b∈Lipβ,μ if and only if the commutator [b,Iα] of the multiplication operator by b and the fractional integral operator Iα is bounded from Lp(μ) to Lr(μ1−(1−α/n)r), where 1<p<∞, 0<β<1 and 1/r=1/p−(β+α)/n with 1/p>(β+α)/n.     

Riesz transform on locally symmetric spaces and Riemannian manifolds with a spectral gap

In this paper we study the Riesz transform on complete and connected Riemannian manifolds M with a certain spectral gap in the L² spectrum of the Laplacian. We show that on such manifolds the Riesz transform is Lp bounded for all p∈(1,∞). This generalizes a result by Mandouvalos and Marias and extends a result by Auscher, Coulhon, Duong, and Hofmann to the case where zero is an isolated point of the L² spectrum of the Laplacian.     

An Improved Hardy's Inequality

In this paper we shall extend Hardy's inequality associated with Fourier transform to the strip n(2-p) ≤ σ < n+p(N +1) where N = [n(1/p-1)], the greatest integer not exceeding n(1/p−1).     

Strong convergence theorems for Walsh–Fejér means

As main result we prove that Fejér means of Walsh–Fourier series are uniformly bounded operators from H _p to H _p (0<p≦1/2).     

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 < ∞).     

Hilbert transform and related topics associated with the differential Jacobi operator on (0, +∞)

We define Hilbert transform and conjugate Poisson integrals associated with the Jacobi differential operator on (0, +∞). We prove that these operators are bounded in the appropriate Lebesgue spaces L ^p , 1 < p < +∞. In this study, the tools used are the Littlewood–Paley g-functions associated with the Poisson semigroup and the supplementary Poisson semigroup which we introduce in this paper.
