The following iterated commutators $T_{\ast ,\Pi b}$ of the maximal operator for multilinear singular integral operators and $I_{\alpha ,\Pi b}$ of the multilinear fractional integral operator are introduced and studied: $T_{\ast ,\Pi b}\left(f⃗\right)\left(x\right)=su{p}_{\delta >0}\left|[b₁,[b₂,\dots {[b_{m-1},[bₘ,T_{\delta }]ₘ]}_{m-1}\cdots ]₂]₁\left(f⃗\right)\left(x\right)\right|$, $I_{\alpha ,\Pi b}\left(f⃗\right)\left(x\right)=[b₁,[b₂,\dots {[b_{m-1},[bₘ,I_{\alpha }]ₘ]}_{m-1}\cdots ]₂]₁\left(f⃗\right)\left(x\right)$, where $T_{\delta }$ are the smooth truncations of the multilinear singular integral operators and $I_{\alpha }$ is the multilinear fractional integral operator, $b_i\in BMO$ for i = 1,…,m and f⃗ = (f1,…,fm). Weighted strong and L(logL) type end-point estimates for the above iterated commutators associated with two classes of multiple...

We consider a double analytic family of fractional integrals $S_z^{\gamma ,\alpha }$ along the curve ${t\mapsto \left|t\right|}^{\alpha }$, introduced for α = 2 by L. Grafakos in 1993 and defined by $\left(S_z^{\gamma ,\alpha }f\right)(x₁,x₂):=1/\Gamma (z+1/2){\int \int |u-1|}^z\psi (u-1){f(x₁-t,x₂-u|t|}^{\alpha }{\left)du\right|t|}^{\gamma }dt/t$, where ψ is a bump function on ℝ supported near the origin, $f{\in }_c^{\infty }\left(ℝ²\right)$, z,γ ∈ ℂ, Re γ ≥ 0, α ∈ ℝ, α ≥ 2. We determine the set of all (1/p,1/q,Re z) such that $S_z^{\gamma ,\alpha }$ maps $L^p\left(ℝ²\right)$ to $L^q\left(ℝ²\right)$ boundedly. Our proof is based on product-type kernel arguments. More precisely, we prove that the kernel $K_{-1+i\theta }^{i\varrho ,\alpha }$ is a product kernel on ℝ², adapted to the curve ${t\mapsto \left|t\right|}^{\alpha }$; as a consequence, we show...

Given a compact manifold $N^n\subset {ℝ}^{\nu }$ and real numbers $s\ge 1$ and $1\le p\<\infty$, we prove that the class $C^{\infty }({\overline{Q}}^m;N^n)$ of smooth maps on the cube with values into $N^n$ is strongly dense in the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p}(Q^m;N^n)$ when $N^n$ is $\lfloor sp\rfloor$ simply connected. For $sp$ integer, we prove weak sequential density of $C^{\infty }({\overline{Q}}^m;N^n)$ when $N^n$ is $sp-1$ simply connected. The proofs are based on the existence of a retraction of ${ℝ}^{\nu }$ onto $N^n$ except for a small subset of $N^n$ and on a pointwise estimate of fractional derivatives of composition of maps in $W^{s,p}\cap W^{1,sp}$.

We introduce the generalized fractional integrals $I{̃}_{\alpha ,d}$ and prove the strong and weak boundedness of $I{̃}_{\alpha ,d}$ on the central Morrey spaces $B^{p,\lambda }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$. In order to show the boundedness, the generalized λ-central mean oscillation spaces ${\Lambda }_{p,\lambda }^{\left(d\right)}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ and the generalized weak λ-central mean oscillation spaces $W{\Lambda }_{p,\lambda }^{\left(d\right)}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ play an important role.

Given a two-dimensional fractional multiplicative process ${\left(F_t\right)}_{t\in [0,1]}$ determined by two Hurst exponents $H_1$ and $H_2$, we show that there is an associated uniform Hausdorff dimension result for the images of subsets of $[0,1]$ by $F$ if and only if $H_1=H_2$.

Let $A_{\alpha }f\left(x\right)={\left|B\right(0,\left|x\right|\left)\right|}^{-\alpha /n}{\int }_{B(0,|x\left|\right)}f\left(t\right)dt$ be the n-dimensional fractional Hardy operator, where 0 < α ≤ n. It is well-known that $A_{\alpha }$ is bounded from $L^p$ to $L^{p_{\alpha }}$ with $p_{\alpha }=np/(\alpha p-np+n)$ when n(1-1/p) < α ≤ n. We improve this result within the framework of Banach function spaces, for instance, weighted Lebesgue spaces and Lorentz spaces. We in fact find a ’source’ space $S_{\alpha ,Y}$, which is strictly larger than X, and a ’target’ space $T_Y$, which is strictly smaller than Y, under the assumption that $A_{\alpha }$ is bounded from X into Y and the Hardy-Littlewood...

Let n be a nonnegative integer and let u ∈ (n,n+1]. We say that f is u-times Peano bounded in the approximate (resp. $L^p$, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞) sense at $x\in {ℝ}^m$ if there are numbers $f_{\alpha }\left(x\right)$, |α| ≤ n, such that $f(x+h)-{\sum }_{\left|\alpha \right|\le n}{f}_{\alpha }\left(x\right)h^{\alpha }/\alpha !$ is $O\left(h^u\right)$ in the approximate (resp. $L^p$) sense as h → 0. Suppose f is u-times Peano bounded in either the approximate or $L^p$ sense at each point of a bounded measurable set E. Then for every ε > 0 there is a perfect set Π ⊂ E and a smooth function g such that the Lebesgue measure of E∖Π is less than ε and...

Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A function g:V → [0,1] is called a global dominating function (GDF) of G, if for every v ∈ V, $g\left(N\left[v\right]\right)={\sum }_{u\in N\left[v\right]}g\left(u\right)\ge 1$ and $g\left(\overline{N\left(v\right)}\right)={\sum }_{u\notin N\left(v\right)}g\left(u\right)\ge 1$. A GDF g of a graph G is called minimal (MGDF) if for all functions f:V → [0,1] such that f ≤ g and f(v) ≠ g(v) for at least one v ∈ V, f is not a GDF. The fractional global domination number ${\gamma }_{fg}\left(G\right)$ is defined as follows: ${\gamma }_{fg}\left(G\right)$ = min|g|:g is an MGDF of G where $\left|g\right|={\sum }_{v\in V}g\left(v\right)$. In this paper we initiate a study of this parameter.

We collect and extend results on the limit of ${\sigma }^{1-k}{(1-\sigma )}^k{\left|v\right|}_{l+\sigma ,p,\Omega }^p$ as σ → 0⁺ or σ → 1¯, where Ω is ℝⁿ or a smooth bounded domain, k ∈ 0,1, l ∈ ℕ, p ∈ [1,∞), and ${\left|·\right|}_{l+\sigma ,p,\Omega }$ is the intrinsic seminorm of order l+σ in the Sobolev space $W^{l+\sigma ,p}\left(\Omega \right)$. In general, the above limit is equal to $c{\left[v\right]}^p$, where c and [·] are, respectively, a constant and a seminorm that we explicitly provide. The particular case p = 2 for Ω = ℝⁿ is also examined and the results are then proved by using the Fourier transform.

The aim of the paper is two-fold. First, we investigate the ψ-Bessel potential spaces on ${ℝ}_{0+}^{n+1}$ and study some of their properties. Secondly, we consider the fractional powers of an operator of the form $-A_{\pm }=-\psi \left(D_{x^{\text{'}}}\right)\pm \partial /\left(\partial x_{n+1}\right)$, $(x^{\text{'}},x_{n+1})\in {ℝ}_{0+}^{n+1}$, where $\psi \left(D_{x^{\text{'}}}\right)$ is an operator with real continuous negative definite symbol ψ: ℝⁿ → ℝ. We define the domain of the operator $-{(-A_{\pm })}^{\alpha }$ and prove that with this domain it generates an $L_p$-sub-Markovian semigroup.

For α ∈ (1,2) we consider the equation ${\partial }_{t}u={\Delta }^{\alpha /2}u+b·\nabla u$, where b is a time-independent, divergence-free singular vector field of the Morrey class $M{₁}^{1-\alpha }$. We show that if the Morrey norm ${\left|\right|b\left|\right|}_{M{₁}^{1-\alpha }}$ is sufficiently small, then the fundamental solution is globally in time comparable with the density of the isotropic stable process.

We characterise the boundedness of the $H^{\infty }$ calculus of a sectorial operator in terms of dilation theorems. We show e. g. that if $-A$ generates a bounded analytic $C_0$ semigroup $\left(T_t\right)$ on a UMD space, then the $H^{\infty }$ calculus of $A$ is bounded if and only if $\left(T_t\right)$ has a dilation to a bounded group on $L^2([0,1],X)$. This generalises a Hilbert space result of C.LeMerdy. If $X$ is an $L^p$ space we can choose another $L^p$ space in place of $L^2([0,1],X)$.

We show that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\otimes ̂{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1 ≤ p,q < s and that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\widehat{\otimes ̂}{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1/p + 1/q > 1 + 1/s.

Let $f^j={\sum }_k{a}_{k}f(2^{j+1}x-2k)$, where the sum is taken over the lattice of all points k in ${ℝ}^n$ having integer-valued components, j∈ℕ and $a_k\in ℂ$. Let $A_{pq}^s$ be either $B_{pq}^s$ or $F_{pq}^s$ (s ∈ ℝ, 0 < p < ∞, 0 < q ≤ ∞) on ${ℝ}^n.$ The aim of the paper is to clarify under what conditions $\parallel f^j|A_{pq}^s\parallel$ is equivalent to $2^{j(s-n/p)}({\sum }_k|a_k{|}^p{)}^{1/p}\parallel f|A_{pq}^s\parallel$.

We give new results on square functions $${\parallel x\parallel }_F=\parallel {\left({\int }_0^{\infty }{\left|F\left(tA\right)x\right|}^2\frac{\mathrm{d}t}{t}\right)}^{1/2}{\parallel }_p$$ associated to a sectorial operator $A$ on $L^p$ for $1\&lt;p\&lt;\infty$. Under the assumption that $A$ is actually $R$-sectorial, we prove equivalences of the form $K^{-1}{\parallel x\parallel }_G\le {\parallel x\parallel }_F\le K{\parallel x\parallel }_G$ for suitable functions $F,G$. We also show that $A$ has a bounded $H^{\infty }$ functional calculus with respect to ${\parallel .\parallel }_F$. Then we apply our results to the study of conditions under which we have an estimate $\parallel {({\int }_0^{\infty }|C{\mathrm{e}}^{-tA}{\left(x\right)|}^2\mathrm{d}t{)}^{1/2}\parallel }_q\le M{\parallel x\parallel }_p$, when $-A$ generates a bounded semigroup ${\mathrm{e}}^{-tA}$ on $L^p$ and $C:D\left(A\right)\to L^q$ is a linear mapping.

Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...

Let ℳ be a hyperfinite finite von Nemann algebra and ${\left({ℳ}_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$ be an increasing filtration of finite-dimensional von Neumann subalgebras of ℳ. We investigate abstract fractional integrals associated to the filtration ${\left({ℳ}_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$. For a finite noncommutative martingale $x={\left(x_k\right)}_{1\le k\le n}\subseteq L₁\left(ℳ\right)$ adapted to ${\left({ℳ}_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$ and 0 < α < 1, the fractional integral of x of order α is defined by setting $I^{\alpha }x={\sum }_{k=1}^n{\zeta }_k^{\alpha }d{x}_k$ for an appropriate sequence ${\left({\zeta }_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$ of scalars. For the case of a noncommutative dyadic martingale in L₁() where is the type II₁ hyperfinite factor...

For Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, let $K_{w^{*}}(X^{*},Y)$ denote the space of all $w^{*}-w$ continuous compact operators from $X^{*}$ to $Y$ endowed with the operator norm. A Banach space $X$ has the $wGP$ property if every Grothendieck subset of $X$ is relatively weakly compact. In this paper we study Banach spaces with property $wGP$. We investigate whether the spaces $K_{w^{*}}(X^{*},Y)$ and $X{\otimes }_{ϵ}Y$ have the $wGP$ property, when $X$ and $Y$ have the $wGP$ property.

Let $\mathscr{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space, $A$ a positive operator with closed range in $ℬ\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ and ${ℬ}_A\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ the sub-algebra of $ℬ\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ of all $A$-self-adjoint operators. Assume $\phi :{ℬ}_A\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ onto itself is a linear continuous map. This paper shows that if $\phi$ preserves $A$-unitary operators such that $\phi \left(I\right)=P$ then $\psi$ defined by $\psi \left(T\right)=P\phi \left(PT\right)$ is a homomorphism or an anti-homomorphism and $\psi \left(T^{♯}\right)=\psi {\left(T\right)}^{♯}$ for all $T\in {ℬ}_A\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$, where $P=A^{+}A$ and $A^{+}$ is the Moore-Penrose inverse of $A$. A similar result is also true if $\phi$ preserves $A$-quasi-unitary operators in both directions such that there...

We show that any ${\Sigma }_s$-product of at most $𝔠$-many $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces has the $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-property. This result generalizes some known results about $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces. On the other hand, we prove that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of monotonically monolithic spaces is monotonically monolithic, and in a similar form, we show that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of Collins-Roscoe spaces has the Collins-Roscoe property. These results generalize some known results about the Collins-Roscoe spaces and answer some questions due to Tkachuk [Lifting the Collins-Roscoe...
