We complete the different cases remaining in the estimation of the essential norm of a weighted composition operator acting between the Hardy spaces $H^p$ and $H^q$ for 1 ≤ p,q ≤ ∞. In particular we give some estimates for the cases 1 = p ≤ q ≤ ∞ and 1 ≤ q < p ≤ ∞.

In this paper we completely characterize those weighted Hardy spaces that are Poletsky-Stessin Hardy spaces $H_u^p$. We also provide a reduction of $H^{\infty }$ problems to $H_u^p$ problems and demonstrate how such a reduction can be used to make shortcuts in the proofs of the interpolation theorem and corona problem.

Let $B_p$ be the Ariõ-Muckenhoupt weight class which controls the weighted $L^p$-norm inequalities for the Hardy operator on non-increasing functions. We replace the constant p by a function p(x) and examine the associated $L^{p\left(x\right)}$-norm inequalities of the Hardy operator.

Let Φ be a concave function on (0,∞) of strictly critical lower type index $p_{\Phi }\in (0,1]$ and $\omega \in A_{\infty }^{loc}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ (the class of local weights introduced by V. S. Rychkov). We introduce the weighted local Orlicz-Hardy space $h_{\omega }^{\Phi }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ via the local grand maximal function. Let $\rho \left(t\right)\equiv t^{-1}/{\Phi }^{-1}\left(t^{-1}\right)$ for all t ∈ (0,∞). We also introduce the BMO-type space $bm{o}_{\rho ,\omega }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ and establish the duality between $h_{\omega }^{\Phi }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ and $bm{o}_{\rho ,\omega }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$. Characterizations of $h_{\omega }^{\Phi }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$, including the atomic characterization, the local vertical and the local nontangential maximal function characterizations, are...

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).

Let $L$ be a non-negative self-adjoint operator acting on $L^2\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ satisfying a pointwise Gaussian estimate for its heat kernel. Let $w$ be an $A_r$ weight on ${ℝ}^n\times {ℝ}^n$, $1<r<\infty$. In this article we obtain a weighted atomic decomposition for the weighted Hardy space $H_{L,w}^p({ℝ}^n\times {ℝ}^n)$, $0<p\le 1$ associated to $L$. Based on the atomic decomposition, we show the dual relationship between $H_{L,w}^1({ℝ}^n\times {ℝ}^n)$ and ${\mathrm{BMO}}_{L,w}({ℝ}^n\times {ℝ}^n)$.

Let $-(n+1)<m\le -(n+1)(1-\rho )$ and let $T_a\in {ℒ}_{\rho ,\delta }^m$ be pseudo-differential operators with symbols $a(x,\xi )\in {ℝ}^n\times {ℝ}^n$, where $0<\rho \le 1$, $0\le \delta <1$ and $\delta \le \rho$. Let $\mu$, $\lambda$ be weights in Muckenhoupt classes $A_p$, $\nu ={\left(\mu {\lambda }^{-1}\right)}^{1/p}$ for some $1<p<\infty$. We establish a two-weight inequality for commutators generated by pseudo-differential operators $T_a$ with weighted BMO functions $b\in {\mathrm{BMO}}_{\nu }$, namely, the commutator $[b,T_a]$ is bounded from $L^p\left(\mu \right)$ into $L^p\left(\lambda \right)$. Furthermore, the range of $m$ can be extended to the whole $m\le -(n+1)(1-\rho )$.

We study the order boundedness of composition operators induced by holomorphic self-maps of the open unit disc D. We consider these operators first on the Hardy spaces $H^p$ 0 < p < ∞ and then on the Nevanlinna class N. Given a non-negative increasing function h on [0,∞[, a composition operator is said to be X,Lh-order bounded (we write (X,Lh)-ob) with $X=H^p$ or X = N if its composition with the map f ↦ f*, where f* denotes the radial limit of f, is order bounded from X into $L_h$. We give...

The aim of this paper is to introduce some new fixed point results of Hardy-Rogers-type for $\alpha$-$\eta$-$GF$-contraction in a complete metric space. We extend the concept of $F$-contraction into an $\alpha$-$\eta$-$GF$-contraction of Hardy-Rogers-type. An example has been constructed to demonstrate the novelty of our results.

Given 0 < p,q < ∞ and any sequence z = zₙ in the unit disc , we define an operator from functions on to sequences by $T_{z,p}\left(f\right)={(1-|zₙ\left|²\right)}^{1/p}f\left(zₙ\right)$. Necessary and sufficient conditions on zₙ are given such that $T_{z,p}$ maps the Hardy space $H^p$ boundedly into the sequence space ${\ell }^q$. A corresponding result for Bergman spaces is also stated.

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...

We give an affirmative answer to an open question posed by Demailly-Peternell-Schneider in 2001 and recently by Peternell. Let $f:X\to Y$ be a surjective morphism from a log canonical pair $(X,D)$ onto a $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein variety $Y$. If $-(K_X+D)$ is nef, we show that $-K_Y$ is pseudo-effective.

The main aim of this paper is to prove that the maximal operator ${\sigma }^{}$ is bounded from the Hardy space $H_{1/2}$ to weak-$L_{1/2}$ and is not bounded from $H_{1/2}$ to $L_{1/2}$.

Let $u$ be a weight on $(0,\infty )$. Assume that $u$ is continuous on $(0,\infty )$. Let the operator $S_u$ be given at measurable non-negative function $\varphi$ on $(0,\infty )$ by $$S_u\varphi \left(t\right)=\underset{0<\tau \le t}{sup}u\left(\tau \right)\varphi \left(\tau \right).$$ We characterize weights $v,w$ on $(0,\infty )$ for which there exists a positive constant $C$ such that the inequality $${\left({\int }_0^{\infty }{\left[S_u\varphi \left(t\right)\right]}^{q}w\left(t\right)dt\right)}^{\frac{1}{q}}\lesssim {\left({\int }_0^{\infty }{\left[\varphi \left(t\right)\right]}^{p}v\left(t\right)dt\right)}^{\frac{1}{p}}$$ holds for every $0<p,q<\infty$. Such inequalities have been used in the study of optimal Sobolev embeddings and boundedness of certain operators on classical Lorenz spaces.

Let f be a measurable function defined on ℝ. For each n ∈ ℤ we consider the average $Aₙf\left(x\right)=2^{-n}{\int }_x^{x+2ⁿ}f$. The square function is defined as $Sf\left(x\right)=({\sum }_{n=-\infty }^{\infty }|Aₙf\left(x\right)-A_{n-1}f\left(x\right){\left|²\right)}^{1/2}$. The local version of this operator, namely the operator $S₁f\left(x\right)=({\sum }_{n=-\infty }^0|Aₙf\left(x\right)-A_{n-1}f\left(x\right){\left|²\right)}^{1/2}$, is of interest in ergodic theory and it has been extensively studied. In particular it has been proved [3] that it is of weak type (1,1), maps $L^p$ into itself (p > 1) and $L^{\infty }$ into BMO. We prove that the operator S not only maps $L^{\infty }$ into BMO but it also maps BMO into BMO. We also prove that the $L^p$ boundedness...

In this paper, characterizations of the embeddings between weighted Copson function spaces ${\mathrm{Cop}}_{p_1,q_1}(u_1,v_1)$ and weighted Cesàro function spaces ${\mathrm{Ces}}_{p_2,q_2}(u_2,v_2)$ are given. In particular, two-sided estimates of the optimal constant $c$ in the inequality $$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill d({\int }_0^{\infty }& {\left({\int }_0^{t}f{\left(\tau \right)}^{p_2}{v}_2\left(\tau \right)\mathrm{d}\tau \right)}^{q_2/p_2}{u}_2\left(t\right)\mathrm{d}t{)}^{1/q_2}\hfill \\ & \le c{\left({\int }_0^{\infty }{\left({\int }_t^{\infty }f{\left(\tau \right)}^{p_1}{v}_1\left(\tau \right)\mathrm{d}\tau \right)}^{q_1/p_1}{u}_1\left(t\right)\mathrm{d}t\right)}^{1/q_1},\hfill \end{array}d$$ where $p_1,p_2,q_1,q_2\in (0,\infty )$, $p_2\le q_2$ and $u_1$, $u_2$, $v_1$, $v_2$ are weights on $(0,\infty )$, are obtained. The most innovative part consists of the fact that possibly different parameters $p_1$ and $p_2$ and possibly different inner weights $v_1$ and $v_2$ are allowed. The proof is based on the combination of duality techniques...

We study the boundedness of the one-sided operator $g{⁺}_{\lambda ,\phi }$ between the weighted spaces $L^p\left(M¯w\right)$ and $L^p\left(w\right)$ for every weight w. If λ = 2/p whenever 1 < p < 2, and in the case p = 1 for λ > 2, we prove the weak type of $g{⁺}_{\lambda ,\phi }$. For every λ > 1 and p = 2, or λ > 2/p and 1 < p < 2, the boundedness of this operator is obtained. For p > 2 and λ > 1, we obtain the boundedness of $g{⁺}_{\lambda ,\phi }$ from $L^p\left({\left(M¯\right)}^{[p/2]+1}w\right)$ to $L^p\left(w\right)$, where ${\left(M¯\right)}^k$ denotes the operator M¯ iterated k times.

Motivated by some recent results by Li and Stević, in this paper we prove that a two-parameter family of Cesàro averaging operators ${}^{b,c}$ is bounded on the Dirichlet spaces ${}_{p,a}$. We also give a short and direct proof of boundedness of ${}^{b,c}$ on the Hardy space $H^p$ for 1 < p < ∞.

We investigate the amenability and its related homological notions for a class of $I\times I$-upper triangular matrix algebra, say $\mathrm{UP}(I,A)$, where $A$ is a Banach algebra equipped with a nonzero character. We show that $\mathrm{UP}(I,A)$ is pseudo-contractible (amenable) if and only if $I$ is singleton and $A$ is pseudo-contractible (amenable), respectively. We also study pseudo-amenability and approximate biprojectivity of $\mathrm{UP}(I,A)$.

We study an adaptation to the logarithmic case of the Kobayashi-Eisenman pseudo-volume form, or rather an adaptation of its variant defined by Claire Voisin, for which she replaces holomorphic maps by holomorphic $K$-correspondences. We define an intrinsic logarithmic pseudo-volume form ${\Phi }_{X,D}$ for every pair $(X,D)$ consisting of a complex manifold $X$ and a normal crossing Weil divisor $D$ on $X$, the positive part of which is reduced. We then prove that ${\Phi }_{X,D}$ is generically non-degenerate when $X$ is projective...
