Extrapolation with weights, rearrangement-invariant function spaces, modular inequalities and applications to singular integrals

We present an extrapolation theory that allows us to obtain, from weighted L^p inequalities on pairs of functions for p fixed and all A_∞ weights, estimates for the same pairs on very general rearrangement invariant quasi-Banach function spaces with A_∞ weights and also modular inequalities with A_∞ weights. Vector-valued inequalities are obtained automatically, without the need of a Banach-valued theory. This provides a method to prove very fine estimates for a variety of operators which include singular and fractional integrals and their commutators. In particular, we obtain weighted, and vector-valued, extensions of the classical theorems of Boyd and Lorentz-Shimogaki. The key is to develop appropriate versions of Rubio de Francia's algorithm.     

Modulation spaces and pseudodifferential operators

We use methods from time-frequency analysis to study boundedness and traceclass properties of pseudodifferential operators. As natural symbol classes, we use the modulation spaces onR ^2d , which quantify the notion of the time-frequency content of a function or distribution. We show that if a symbol lies in the modulation spaceM _,1 (R ^2d ), then the corresponding pseudodifferential operator is bounded onL ²(R ^d ) and, more generally, on the modulation spacesM _p,p (R ^d ) for 1p. If lies in the modulation spaceM _2,2 ^s (R ^2d )=L _s ^/2 (R ^2d )H ^s (R ^2d ), i.e., the intersection of a weightedL ²-space and a Sobolev space, then the corresponding operator lies in a specified Schatten class. These results hold for both the Weyl and the Kohn-Nirenberg correspondences. Using recent embedding theorems of Lipschitz and Fourier spaces into modulation spaces, we show that these results improve on the classical Calderòn-Vaillancourt boundedness theorem and on Daubechies' trace-class results.     

Composition Operators and Vector-valued BMOA

Analytic composition operators are studied on X-valued versions of BMOA, the space of analytic functions on the unit disk that have bounded mean oscillation on the unit circle, where X is a complex Banach space. It is shown that if X is reflexive and C _φ is compact on BMOA, then C _φ is weakly compact on the X-valued space BMOA _C (X) defined in terms of Carleson measures. A related function-theoretic characterization is given of the compact composition operators on BMOA.     

Compactness in Vector-valued Banach Function Spaces

We give a new proof of a recent characterization by Diaz and Mayoral of compactness in the Lebesgue-Bochner spaces L_X^p, where X is a Banach space and 1≤ p<∞, and extend the result to vector-valued Banach function spaces E_X, where E is a Banach function space with order continuous norm.

Generalization of the Newman-Shapiro isometry theorem and Toeplitz operators

We give a generalization of the Newman-Shapiro Isometry Theorem to the case of Hilbert space-valued entire functions, which are square-summable with respect to the Gaussian measure on ⁿ , together with some applications in the theory of Toeplitz operators with operator-valued symbols. The study of various properties (such as density of domains, cores, closedness and boundedness from below) of these operators in illustrated with many relevant examples.Research supported by KBN under grant no. 2 P03A 041 10.

Two-weightedL1 p -inequalities for singular integral operators on Heisenberg groups

Some sufficient conditions are found for a pair of weight functions, providing the validity of two-weighted inequalities for singular integrals defined on Heisenberg groups.     

Commutators and singular integral operators in Clifford analysis

In this paper we develop a method for setting the compactness of the commutator relative to the singular integral operator acting on Hölder continuous functions over Ahlfors David regular surfaces in R ⁿ⁺¹ . This method is based on the essential use of the monogenic decomposition of Hölder continuous functions. We also set forth explicit representations of the adjoints of the singular Cauchy type integral operators, relative to a total subset of real functionals.     

Toeplitz operators defined by sesquilinear forms: Fock space case

The classical theory of Toeplitz operators in spaces of analytic functions deals usually with symbols that are bounded measurable functions on the domain in question. A further extension of the theory was made for symbols being unbounded functions, measures, and compactly supported distributions, all of them subject to some restrictions.     

Banach lattices with the fatou property and optimal domains of kernel operators

New features of the Banach function space L¹_w(v), that is, the space of all v-scalarly integrable functions (with v any vector measure), are exposed. The Fatou property plays an essential role and leads to a new representation theorem for a large class of abstract Banach lattices. Applications are also given to the optimal domain of kernel operators taking their values in a Banach function space.     

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.     

Time-Frequency analysis of localization operators

We study a class of pseudodifferential operators known as time-frequency localization operators, Anti-Wick operators, Gabor-Toeplitz operators or wave packets. Given a symbol a and two windows ?₁,?₂, we investigate the multilinear mapping from to the localization operator A_a^?₁,?₂ and we give sufficient and necessary conditions for A_a^?₁,?₂ to be bounded or to belong to a Schatten class. Our results are formulated in terms of time-frequency analysis, in particular we use modulation spaces as appropriate classes for symbols and windows.     

Vector-valued Littlewood-Paley-Stein theory for semigroups

We develop a generalized Littlewood-Paley theory for semigroups acting on L^p-spaces of functions with values in uniformly convex or smooth Banach spaces. We characterize, in the vector-valued setting, the validity of the one-sided inequalities concerning the generalized Littlewood-Paley-Stein g-function associated with a subordinated Poisson symmetric diffusion semigroup by the martingale cotype and type properties of the underlying Banach space. We show that in the case of the usual Poisson semigroup and the Poisson semigroup subordinated to the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup on Rⁿ, this general theory becomes more satisfactory (and easier to be handled) in virtue of the theory of vector-valued Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operators.     

Weighted boundedness for rough Marcinkiewicz integrals with different weights

In this paper the authors give the weighted boundedness of the Marcinkiewicz integral operators for different weight functions, where the kernel functions of the operators discussed here are without smoothness not only on the sphere but also in the radial direction.     

The commutant of rationally cyclic subnormal operators and rational approximation

Let denote the set of analytic bounded point evaluations forR ^q (K, ). Assume that . In this paper, we first show that if is a finitely connected domain and if the evaluation map fromR ^q (K, )L () toH () is surjective, then | is absolutely continuous with respect to harmonic measure for . This generalizes Olin and Yang's corresponding result for polynomials and the proof we present here is simpler. We also provide an example that shows this absolute continuity property fails in general when is an infinitely connected domain. In the second part, we then offer a solution to a problem of Conway and Elias.
