New Hardy spaces of Musielak-Orlicz type and boundedness of sublinear operators

We introduce a new class of Hardy spaces $H^{\varphi(\cdot,\cdot)}(\mathbb R^n)$, called Hardy spaces of Musielak-Orlicz type, which generalize the Hardy-Orlicz spaces of Janson and the weighted Hardy spaces of Garc\'ia-Cuerva, Str\"omberg, and Torchinsky. Here, $\varphi: \mathbb R^n\times [0,\infty)\to [0,\infty)$ is a function such that $\varphi(x,\cdot)$ is an Orlicz function and $\varphi(\cdot,t)$ is a Muckenhoupt $A_\infty$ weight. A function $f$ belongs to $H^{\varphi(\cdot,\cdot)}(\mathbb R^n)$ if and only if its maximal function $f^*$ is so that $x\mapsto \varphi(x,|f^*(x)|)$ is integrable. Such a space arises naturally for instance in the description of the product of functions in $H^1(\mathbb R^n)$ and $BMO(\mathbb R^n)$ respectively (see \cite{BGK}). We characterize these spaces via the grand maximal function and establish their atomic decomposition. We characterize also their dual spaces. The class of pointwise multipliers for $BMO(\mathbb R^n)$ characterized by Nakai and Yabuta can be seen as the dual of $L^1(\mathbb R^n)+ H^{\rm log}(\mathbb R^n)$ where $H^{\rm log}(\mathbb R^n)$ is the Hardy space of Musielak-Orlicz type related to the Musielak-Orlicz function $\theta(x,t)=\displaystyle\frac{t}{\log(e+|x|)+ \log(e+t)}$. Furthermore, under additional assumption on $\varphi(\cdot,\cdot)$ we prove that if $T$ is a sublinear operator and maps all atoms into uniformly bounded elements of a quasi-Banach space $\mathcal B$, then $T$ uniquely extends to a bounded sublinear operator from $H^{\varphi(\cdot,\cdot)}(\mathbb R^n)$ to $\mathcal B$. These results are new even for the classical Hardy-Orlicz spaces on $\mathbb R^n$.Comment: Integral Equations and Operator Theory (to appear

A note on HwpH^p_w-boundedness of Riesz transforms and θ\theta-Calder\'on-Zygmund operators through molecular characterization

Let $0 < p \leq 1$ and $w$ in the Muckenhoupt class $A_1$. Recently, by using the weighted atomic decomposition and molecular characterization; Lee, Lin and Yang \cite{LLY} (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 301 (2005), 394--400) established that the Riesz transforms $R_j, j=1, 2,...,n$, are bounded on $H^p_w(\mathbb R^n)$. In this note we extend this to the general case of weight $w$ in the Muckenhoupt class $A_\infty$ through molecular characterization. One difficulty, which has not been taken care in \cite{LLY}, consists in passing from atoms to all functions in $H^p_w(\mathbb R^n)$. Furthermore, the $H^p_w$-boundedness of $\theta$-Calder\'on-Zygmund operators are also given through molecular characterization and atomic decomposition.Comment: to appear in Anal. Theory.

Endpoint estimates for commutators of singular integrals related to Schr\"odinger operators

Let $L= -\Delta+ V$ be a Schr\"odinger operator on $\mathbb R^d$, $d\geq 3$, where $V$ is a nonnegative potential, $V\ne 0$, and belongs to the reverse H\"older class $RH_{d/2}$. In this paper, we study the commutators $[b,T]$ for $T$ in a class $\mathcal K_L$ of sublinear operators containing the fundamental operators in harmonic analysis related to $L$. More precisely, when $T\in \mathcal K_L$, we prove that there exists a bounded subbilinear operator $\mathfrak R= \mathfrak R_T: H^1_L(\mathbb R^d)\times BMO(\mathbb R^d)\to L^1(\mathbb R^d)$ such that $|T(\mathfrak S(f,b))|- \mathfrak R(f,b)\leq |[b,T](f)|\leq \mathfrak R(f,b) + |T(\mathfrak S(f,b))|$, where $\mathfrak S$ is a bounded bilinear operator from $H^1_L(\mathbb R^d)\times BMO(\mathbb R^d)$ into $L^1(\mathbb R^d)$ which does not depend on $T$. The subbilinear decomposition (\ref{abstract 1}) explains why commutators with the fundamental operators are of weak type $(H^1_L,L^1)$, and when a commutator $[b,T]$ is of strong type $(H^1_L,L^1)$. Also, we discuss the $H^1_L$-estimates for commutators of the Riesz transforms associated with the Schr\"odinger operator $L$.Comment: Rev. Mat. Iberoam. (to appear

On the product of functions in BMOBMO and H1H^1 over spaces of homogeneous type

Let $\mathcal X$ be an RD-space, which means that $\mathcal X$ is a space of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman-Weiss with the additional property that a reverse doubling property holds in $\mathcal X$. The aim of the present paper is to study the product of functions in $BMO$ and $H^1$ in this setting. Our results generalize some recent results in \cite{Feu} and \cite{LP}.Comment: J. Math. Anal.

Factorization of some Hardy type spaces of holomorphic functions

We prove that the pointwise product of two holomorphic functions of the upper half-plane, one in the Hardy space $\mathcal H^1$, the other one in its dual, belongs to a Hardy type space. Conversely, every holomorphic function in this space can be written as such a product. This generalizes previous characterization in the context of the unit disc.Comment: C. R. Math. Acad. Sci.
