We consider generalized square function norms of holomorphic functions with values in a Banach space. One of the main results is a characterization of embeddings of the form $L^p\left(X\right)\subseteq \gamma \left(X\right)\subseteq L^q\left(X\right)$, in terms of the type p and cotype q of the Banach space X. As an application we prove $L^p$-estimates for vector-valued Littlewood-Paley-Stein g-functions and derive an embedding result for real and complex interpolation spaces under type and cotype conditions.

We investigate the Fourier transforms of functions in the Sobolev spaces $W_1^{r_1,...,r_n}$. It is proved that for any function $f\in W_1^{r_1,...,r_n}$ the Fourier transform f̂ belongs to the Lorentz space $L^{n/r,1}$, where $r=n{({\sum }_{j=1}^{n}1/r_j)}^{-1}\le n$. Furthermore, we derive from this result that for any mixed derivative $D^{s}f(f\in C_0^{\infty },s=(s_1,...,s_n))$ the weighted norm $\parallel {\left(D^{s}f\right)}^{\wedge }{\parallel }_{L^1\left(w\right)}(w\left(\xi \right)={\left|\xi \right|}^{-n})$ can be estimated by the sum of $L^1$-norms of all pure derivatives of the same order. This gives an answer to a question posed by A. Pełczyński and M. Wojciechowski.

In this work we study the problem $u_t{-div\left(\right|x|}^{-2\gamma }\nabla u)=\lambda \frac{u^{\alpha }}{{\left|x\right|}^{2(\gamma +1)}}+f$ in $\Omega \times (0,T)$, $u\ge 0$ in $\Omega \times (0,T)$, $u=0$ on $\partial \Omega \times (0,T)$, $u(x,0)=u_0\left(x\right)$ in $\Omega$, $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$$(N\ge 2)$ is a bounded regular domain such that $0\in \Omega$, $\lambda >0$, $\alpha >0$, $-\infty <\gamma <\left(N-2\right)/2$, $f$ and $u_0$ are positive functions such...
