Extrapolation from A∞ weights and applications

We generalize the A_p extrapolation theorem of Rubio de Francia to A_∞ weights in the context of Muckenhoupt bases. Our result has several important features. First, it can be used to prove weak endpoint inequalities starting from strong-type inequalities, something which is impossible using the classical result. Second, it provides an alternative to the technique of good-λ inequalities for proving L^p norm inequalities relating operators. Third, it yields vector-valued inequalities without having to use the theory of Banach space valued operators. We give a number of applications to maximal functions, singular integrals, potential operators, commutators, multilinear Calderón-Zygmund operators, and multiparameter fractional integrals. In particular, we give new proofs, which completely avoid the good-λ inequalities, of Coifman's inequality relating singular integrals and the maximal operator, of the Fefferman-Stein inequality relating the maximal operator and the sharp maximal operator, and the Muckenhoupt-Wheeden inequality relating the fractional integral operator and the fractional maximal operator.     

New maximal functions and multiple weights for the multilinear Calderón-Zygmund theory

A multi(sub)linear maximal operator that acts on the product of m Lebesgue spaces and is smaller than the m-fold product of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function is studied. The operator is used to obtain a precise control on multilinear singular integral operators of Calderón-Zygmund type and to build a theory of weights adapted to the multilinear setting. A natural variant of the operator which is useful to control certain commutators of multilinear Calderón-Zygmund operators with BMO functions is then considered. The optimal range of strong type estimates, a sharp end-point estimate, and weighted norm inequalities involving both the classical Muckenhoupt weights and the new multilinear ones are also obtained for the commutators.     

Pseudo-differential operators associated with Laguerre hypergroups

In this paper we consider the generalized shift operator generated from the Laguerre hypergroup; by means of this, pseudo-differential operators are investigated and Sobolev-boundedness results are obtained.     

Marcinkiewicz integral on weighted Hardy spaces

In this paper we give sufficient conditions to imply the $H^{1}_{w}-L^{1}_{w}$ boundedness of the Marcinkiewicz integral operator $\mu_\Omega$, where w is a Muckenhoupt weight. We also prove that, under the stronger condition $\Omega \in {\rm Lip}_\alpha$, the operator $\mu_\Omega$ is bounded from $H^{p}_{w}$ to $L^{p}_{w}$ for $\max\{n/(n+1/2), n/(n+\alpha)\}$ < p < 1.     

The Continuity of Commutators on Triebel-Lizorkin Spaces

The purpose of this paper is to study the continuity in the context of Triebel-Lizorkin spaces for some commutators related to certain convolution operators. The operators include Littlewood-Paley operator, Marcinkiewicz integral and Bochner-Riesz operator.

Heat-diffusion maximal operators for Laguerre semigroups with negative parameters

We prove L^p boundedness for the maximal operator of the heat semigroup associated to the Laguerre functions, , when the parameter α is greater than -1. Namely, the maximal operator is of strong type (p,p) if p>1 and , when -1<α<0. If α?0 there is strong type for 1<p?∞. The behavior at the end points is studied in detail.     

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.     

On modular inequalities in variable L p spaces

We show that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator and a class of Calderón-Zygmund singular integrals satisfy the strong type modular inequality in variable L^p spaces if and only if the variable exponent p(x) ∼ const. Received: 15 September 2004     

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the boundedness of fractional maximal operators in local Morrey-type spaces

The problem of the boundedness of the fractional maximal operator _Mα$M_{\alpha }$, 0<α<n$0<\alpha <n$, in local and global Morrey-type spaces is reduced to the problem of the boundedness of the Hardy operator in weighted _Lp$L_p$-spaces on the cone of non-negative non-increasing functions. This allows obtaining sharp sufficient conditions for the boundedness for all admissible values of the parameters. Moreover, in case of local Morrey-type spaces, for some values of the parameters, these sufficient conditions coincide with the necessary ones.     

Bilinear operators with non-smooth symbol, I

This article proves the L^p-boundedness of general bilinear operators associated to a symbol or multiplier which need not be smooth. The Main Theorem establishes a general result for multipliers that are allowed to have singularities along the edges of a cone as well as possibly at its vertex. It thus unifies earlier results of Coifman-Meyer for smooth multipliers and ones, such the Bilinear Hilbert transform of Lacey-Thiele, where the multiplier is not smooth. Using a Whitney decomposition in the Fourier plane, a general bilinear operator is represented as infinite discrete sums of time-frequency paraproducts obtained by associating wave-packets with tiles in phase-plane. Boundedness for the general bilinear operator then follows once the corresponding L^p-boundedness of time-frequency paraproducts has been established. The latter result is the main theorem proved in Part in Part II, our subsequent article [11], using phase-plane analysis. In memory of A.P. Calderón     

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.

The Singularity Property of Banach Function Spaces and Unconditional Convergence in L 1[0, 1]

Let X be a Banach function space, L^∞ [0, 1] ⊂ X ⊂ L¹[0, 1]. It is proved that if dual space of X has singularity property in closed set E ⊂ [0, 1] then: 1) there exists no orthonormal basis in C[0, 1], which forms an unconditional basis in X in metric of L¹[0, 1] space, 2) for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator M we have

BLO spaces associated with the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator

Let (Rn,|⋅|,dγ) be the Gauss measure metric space, where Rn denotes the n-dimensional Euclidean space, |⋅| the Euclidean norm and for all x∈Rn the Gauss measure. In this paper, for any a∈(0,∞), the authors introduce some BLOa(γ) space, namely, the space of functions with bounded lower oscillation associated with a given class of admissible balls with parameter a. Then the authors prove that the noncentered local natural Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator is bounded from BMO(γ) of Mauceri and Meda to BLOa(γ). Moreover, a characterization of the space BLOa(γ), via the local natural maximal operator and BMO(γ), is given. The authors further prove that a class of maximal singular integrals, including the corresponding maximal operators of both imaginary powers of the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator and Riesz transforms of any order associated with the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator, are bounded from L^∞(γ) to BLOa(γ).     

Marcinkiewicz multiplier theorem for the Weyl functional calculus

Let {X _j , Y _j , T : 1 ≤ j ≤ n} be a basis satisfying the commutation relation for the Heisenberg Lie algebra . Then we obtain a multi-parameter Marcinkiewicz multiplier theorem for the operator defined by m(X ₁,..., X _n , Y ₁,..., Y _n , T).     

The Bellman functions of dyadic-like maximal operators and related inequalities

For each p>1 we precisely evaluate the main Bellman functions associated with the dyadic maximal operator on and the dyadic Carleson imbedding theorem. Actually, we do that in the more general setting of tree-like maximal operators. These provide refinements of the sharp L^p inequalities for those operators. For this we introduce an effective linearization for such maximal operators on an adequate set of functions.     

Some results on b-AM-compact operators

We show that for positive operator B : E → E on Banach lattices, if there exists a positive operator S : E → E such that:1.SB ≤ BS;2.S is quasinilpotent at some x₀ > 0; 3.S dominates a non-zero b-AM-compact operator, then B has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace. Also, we prove that for two commuting non-zero positive operators on Banach lattices, if one of them is quasinilpotent at a non-zero positive vector and the other dominates a non-zero b-AM-compact operator, then both of them have a common non-trivial closed invariant ideal. Then we introduce the class of b-AM-compact-friendly operators and show that a non-zero positive b-AM- compact-friendly operator which is quasinilpotent at some x₀ > 0 has a non-trivial closed invariant ideal.
