Let $G$ be the Lie group ${ℝ}^2⋉{ℝ}^{+}$ endowed with the Riemannian symmetric space structure. Let $X_0,X_1,X_2$ be a distinguished basis of left-invariant vector fields of the Lie algebra of $G$ and define the Laplacian $\Delta =-(X_0^2+X_1^2+X_2^2)$. In this paper we consider the first order Riesz transforms $R_i=X_i{\Delta }^{-1/2}$ and $S_i={\Delta }^{-1/2}{X}_i$, for $i=0,1,2$. We prove that the operators $R_i$, but not the $S_i$, are bounded from the Hardy space $H^1$ to $L^1$. We also show that the second-order Riesz transforms $T_{ij}=X_i{\Delta }^{-1}{X}_j$ are bounded from $H^1$ to $L^1$, while the transforms $S_{ij}={\Delta }^{-1}{X}_i{X}_j$ and $R_{ij}=X_i{X}_j{\Delta }^{-1}$, for $i,j=0,1,2$, are not.

We prove the $L^p$ and $H^1$ boundedness of oscillatory singular integral operators defined by Tf = p.v.Ω∗f, where $\Omega \left(x\right)=e^{i\Phi \left(x\right)}K\left(x\right)$, K(x) is a Calderón-Zygmund kernel, and Φ satisfies certain growth conditions.

We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for $L^p$ boundedness of commutators of certain oscillatory integral operators and Lipschitz functions.

In the setting of spaces of homogeneous type, it is shown that the commutator of Calderón-Zygmund type operators as well as the commutator of a potential operator with a BMO function are bounded in a generalized grand Morrey space. Interior estimates for solutions of elliptic equations are also given in the framework of generalized grand Morrey spaces.

The author investigates the boundedness of the higher order commutator of strongly singular convolution operator, $T_b^m$, on Herz spaces $K{̇}_q^{\alpha ,p}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ and $K_q^{\alpha ,p}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$, and on a new class of Herz-type Hardy spaces $HK{̇}_{q,b,m}^{\alpha ,p,0}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ and $H{K}_{q,b,m}^{\alpha ,p,0}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$, where 0 < p ≤ 1 < q < ∞, α = n(1-1/q) and b ∈ BMO(ℝⁿ).

We study Fourier integral operators of Hörmander’s type acting on the spaces $ℱL^p{\left({ℝ}^d\right)}_{comp}$, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, of compactly supported distributions whose Fourier transform is in $L^p$. We show that the sharp loss of derivatives for such an operator to be bounded on these spaces is related to the rank r of the Hessian of the phase Φ(x,η) with respect to the space variables x. Indeed, we show that operators of order m = -r|1/2-1/p| are bounded on $ℱL^p{\left({ℝ}^d\right)}_{comp}$ if the mapping $x\mapsto {\nabla }_x\Phi (x,\eta )$ is constant on the fibres, of codimension r, of an affine...

In the context of variable exponent Lebesgue spaces equipped with a lower Ahlfors measure we obtain weighted norm inequalities over bounded domains for the centered fractional maximal function and the fractional integral operator.

We describe a class O of nonlinear operators which are bounded on the Lizorkin-Triebel spaces Fsp,q(Rn), for 0 &lt; s &lt; 1 and 1 &lt; p, q &lt; ∞. As a corollary, we prove that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on Fsp,q(Rn), for 0 &lt; s &lt; 1 and 1 &lt; p, q &lt; ∞ ; this extends the result of Kinnunen (1997), valid for the Sobolev space H1p(Rn).

The family of block spaces with variable exponents is introduced. We obtain some fundamental properties of the family of block spaces with variable exponents. They are Banach lattices and they are generalizations of the Lebesgue spaces with variable exponents. Moreover, the block space with variable exponents is a pre-dual of the corresponding Morrey space with variable exponents. The main result of this paper is on the boundedness of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator on the block space with...

The author studies the commutators generated by a suitable function a(x) on ℝⁿ and the oscillatory singular integral with rough kernel Ω(x)|x|ⁿ and polynomial phase, where Ω is homogeneous of degree zero on ℝⁿ, and a(x) is a BMO function or a Lipschitz function. Some mapping properties of these higher order commutators on $L^p\left(ℝⁿ\right)$, which are essential improvements of some well known results, are given.

We consider Littlewood-Paley functions associated with a non-isotropic dilation group on ${ℝ}^n$. We prove that certain Littlewood-Paley functions defined by kernels with no regularity concerning smoothness are bounded on weighted $L^p$ spaces, $1<p<\infty$, with weights of the Muckenhoupt class. This, in particular, generalizes a result of N. Rivière (1971).

The $L^p$ boundedness(1 < p < ∞) of Littlewood-Paley’s g-function, Lusin’s S function, Littlewood-Paley’s $g{*}_{\lambda }$-functions, and the Marcinkiewicz function is well known. In a sense, one can regard the Marcinkiewicz function as a variant of Littlewood-Paley’s g-function. In this note, we treat counterparts ${\mu }_S^{\varrho }$ and ${\mu }_{\lambda }^{*,\varrho }$ to S and $g{*}_{\lambda }$. The definition of ${\mu }_S^{\varrho }\left(f\right)$ is as follows: ${\mu }_S^{\varrho }\left(f\right)\left(x\right)=({ʃ}_{|y-x|<t}|1/t^{\varrho }{ʃ}_{\left|z\right|\le t}\Omega \left(z\right)/{\left(\right|z|}^{n-\varrho }{\left)f(y-z)dz\right|}^2\left(dydt\right)/\left(t^{n+1}\right){)}^{1/2}$, where Ω(x) is a homogeneous function of degree 0 and Lipschitz continuous of order β (0 < β ≤ 1) on the unit sphere $S^{n-1}$, and ${ʃ}_{S^{n-1}}\Omega \left(x^{\text{'}}\right)d\sigma \left(x^{\text{'}}\right)=0$. We show that...
