Weak and BMO in Metric Spaces
Bennett, DeVore and Sharpley introduced the space weak in 1981 and studied its relationship with functions of bounded mean oscillation. Here we characterize the weak in measure spaces without using the decreasing rearrangement of a function. Instead, we use exponential estimates for the distribution function. In addition, we consider a localized version of the characterization that leads to a new characterization of BMO.
