We consider the Heisenberg group ℍⁿ = ℂⁿ × ℝ. Let ν be the Borel measure on ℍⁿ defined by $\nu \left(E\right)={\int }_{ℂⁿ}{\chi }_E(w,\phi \left(w\right))\eta \left(w\right)dw$, where $\phi \left(w\right)={\sum }_{j=1}^n{a}_j\left|w_j\right|²$, w = (w₁,...,wₙ) ∈ ℂⁿ, $a_j\in ℝ$, and η(w) = η₀(|w|²) with $\eta ₀\in C_c^{\infty }\left(ℝ\right)$. We characterize the set of pairs (p,q) such that the convolution operator with ν is $L^p\left(ℍⁿ\right)-L^q\left(ℍⁿ\right)$ bounded. We also obtain $L^p$-improving properties of measures supported on the graph of the function $\phi \left(w\right)={\left|w\right|}^{2m}$.

The commutator of a singular integral operator with homogeneous kernel Ω(x)/|x|ⁿ is studied, where Ω is homogeneous of degree zero and has mean value zero on the unit sphere. It is proved that $\Omega \in L{\left(logL\right)}^{k+1}\left(S^{n-1}\right)$ is a sufficient condition for the kth order commutator to be bounded on $L^p\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ for all 1 < p < ∞. The corresponding maximal operator is also considered.

The $L^p\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ boundedness is established for commutators generated by BMO(ℝⁿ) functions and convolution operators whose kernels satisfy certain Fourier transform estimates. As an application, a new result about the $L^p\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ boundedness is obtained for commutators of homogeneous singular integral operators whose kernels satisfy the Grafakos-Stefanov condition.

Let L be a homogeneous sublaplacian on the 6-dimensional free 2-step nilpotent Lie group $N_{3,2}$ on three generators. We prove a theorem of Mikhlin-Hörmander type for the functional calculus of L, where the order of differentiability s > 6/2 is required on the multiplier.

We show in two dimensions that if $Kf={\int }_{ℝ₊²}k(x,y)f\left(y\right)dy$, $k(x,y)=\left(e^{i{x}^a·y^b}\right){/\left(\right|x-y|}^{\eta })$, p = 4/(2+η), a ≥ b ≥ 1̅ = (1,1), $v_p\left(y\right)=y^{(p/p^{\text{'}})(1̅-b/a)}$, then ${\left|\right|Kf\left|\right|}_p{\le C\left|\right|f\left|\right|}_{p,v_p}$ if η + α₁ + α₂ < 2, ${\alpha }_j=1-b_j/a_j$, j = 1,2. Our methods apply in all dimensions and also for more general kernels.

We prove that $ʃ{\left(S_{d}f\right)}^{p}Vdx\le C_{p,n}ʃ{\left|f\right|}^p{M}_d^{\left(\right[p/2]+2)}Vdx$, where $S_d$ is the dyadic square function, $M_d^{\left(k\right)}$ is the k-fold application of the dyadic Hardy-Littlewood maximal function and p > 2.

In this paper we study a singular integral operator T with rough kernel. This operator has singularity along sets of the form {x = Q(|y|)y'}, where Q(t) is a polynomial satisfying Q(0) = 0. We prove that T is a bounded operator in the space L2(Rn), n ≥ 2, and this bound is independent of the coefficients of Q(t).We also obtain certain Hardy type inequalities related to this operator.

Let m be a Radon measure on C without atoms. In this paper we prove that if the Cauchy transform is bounded in L2(m), then all 1-dimensional Calderón-Zygmund operators associated to odd and sufficiently smooth kernels are also bounded in L2(m).

Nous définissons un produit renormalisé par ondelettes qui améliore, dans certains cadres fonctionnels, les propriétés du produit usuel de deux fonctions. Grâce à cette technique de renormalisation du produit nous obtenons une démonstration par ondelettes d'une version précisée du théorème du Jacobien. Finalement nous établissons le lien entre ce produit renormalisé par ondelettes et les paraproduits de J.M. Bony.

In this paper, a new class of Gaussian field is introduced called Lacunary Fractional Brownian Motion. Surprisingly we show that usually their tangent fields are not unique at every point. We also investigate the smoothness of the sample paths of Lacunary Fractional Brownian Motion using wavelet analysis.
