Orthonormal bases of regular wavelets in spaces of homogeneous type

Adapting the recently developed randomized dyadic structures, we introduce the notion of spline function in geometrically doubling quasi-metric spaces. Such functions have interpolation and reproducing properties as the linear splines in Euclidean spaces. They also have H\"older regularity. This is used to build an orthonormal basis of H\"older-continuous wavelets with exponential decay in any space of homogeneous type. As in the classical theory, wavelet bases provide a universal Calder\'on reproducing formula to study and develop function space theory and singular integrals. We discuss the examples of $L^p$ spaces, BMO and apply this to a proof of the T(1) theorem. As no extra condition {(like 'reverse doubling', 'small boundary' of balls, etc.)} on the space of homogeneous type is required, our results extend a long line of works on the subject.Comment: We have made improvements to section 2 following the referees suggestions. In particular, it now contains full proof of formerly Theorem 2.7 instead of sending back to earlier works, which makes the construction of splines self-contained. One reference adde

On the Carleson duality

As a tool for solving the Neumann problem for divergence form equations, Kenig and Pipher introduced the space X of functions on the half space, such that the non-tangential maximal function of their L_2-Whitney averages belongs to L_2 on the boundary. In this paper, answering questions which arose from recent studies of boundary value problems by Auscher and the second author, we find the pre-dual of X, and characterize the pointwise multipliers from X to L_2 on the half space as the well-known Carleson-type space of functions introduced by Dahlberg. We also extend these results to L_p generalizations of the space X. Our results elaborate on the well-known duality between Carleson measures and non-tangential maximal functions.Comment: The second author has recently changed surname from previous name Andreas Axelsso
