We give characterizations of radial Fourier multipliers as acting on radial
L^p-functions, 1<p<2d/(d+1), in terms of Lebesgue space norms for Fourier
localized pieces of the convolution kernel. This is a special case of
corresponding results for general Hankel multipliers. Besides L^p-L^q bounds we
also characterize weak type inequalities and intermediate inequalities
involving Lorentz spaces. Applications include results on interpolation of
multiplier spaces.Comment: Final revised version to appear in Mathematische Annale
