We prove trace inequalities of type $\left|\right|u^{\text{'}}{\left|\right|}_{L^2}^2+{\sum }_{j\in \mathbb{Z}}{k}_j|u\left(a_j\right){|}^2{\ge \lambda \left|\right|u\left|\right|}_{L^2}^2$ where $u\in H^1\left(ℝ\right)$, under suitable hypotheses on the sequences ${a_j}_{j\in \mathbb{Z}}$ and ${k_j}_{j\in \mathbb{Z}}$, with the first sequence increasing and the second bounded.

Let $u$ be a holomorphic function and $\varphi$ a holomorphic self-map of the open unit disk $𝔻$ in the complex plane. We provide new characterizations for the boundedness of the weighted composition operators $u{C}_{\varphi }$ from Zygmund type spaces to Bloch type spaces in $𝔻$ in terms of $u$, $\varphi$, their derivatives, and ${\varphi }^n$, the $n$-th power of $\varphi$. Moreover, we obtain some similar estimates for the essential norms of the operators $u{C}_{\varphi }$, from which sufficient and necessary conditions of compactness of $u{C}_{\varphi }$ follows immediately. ...

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.

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.

We prove the $L^p$ boundedness of the Marcinkiewicz integral operators ${\mu }_{\Omega }$ on ${ℝ}^{n₁}\times \cdots \times {ℝ}^{n_k}$ under the condition that $\Omega \in L{\left(logL\right)}^{k/2}{(}^{n₁-1}\times \cdots {\times }^{n_k-1})$. The exponent k/2 is the best possible. This answers an open question posed by Y. Ding.

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 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.

In [9], the author considers a sequence of invertible maps $T_i:S¹\to S¹$ which exchange the positions of adjacent intervals on the unit circle, and defines as Aₙ the image of the set 0 ≤ x ≤ 1/2 under the action of Tₙ ∘ ... ∘ T₁, (1) Aₙ = (Tₙ ∘ ... ∘ T₁)x₁ ≤ 1/2. Then, if Aₙ is mixed up to scale h, it is proved that (2) ${\sum }_{i=1}^n(Tot.Var.(T_i-I)+Tot.Var.(T_i^{-1}-I))\ge Clog1/h$. We prove that (1) holds for general quasi incompressible invertible BV maps on ℝ, and that this estimate implies that the map Tₙ ∘ ... ∘ T₁ belongs to the Besov space $B^{0,1,1}$, and its...

The case $p=1$ answers a question asked by Rosenthal in 1976.

We study order convexity and concavity of quasi-Banach Lorentz spaces ${\Lambda }_{p,w}$, where 0 < p < ∞ and w is a locally integrable positive weight function. We show first that ${\Lambda }_{p,w}$ contains an order isomorphic copy of $l^p$. We then present complete criteria for lattice convexity and concavity as well as for upper and lower estimates for ${\Lambda }_{p,w}$. We conclude with a characterization of the type and cotype of ${\Lambda }_{p,w}$ in the case when ${\Lambda }_{p,w}$ is a normable space.

We extend a result of the second author [27, Theorem 1.1] to dimensions $d\ge 3$ which relates the size of $L^p$-norms of eigenfunctions for $2<p<2(d+1)/d-1$ to the amount of $L^2$-mass in shrinking tubes about unit-length geodesics. The proof uses bilinear oscillatory integral estimates of Lee [22] and a variable coefficient variant of an "$ϵ$ removal lemma" of Tao and Vargas [35]. We also use Hörmander’s [20] $L^2$ oscillatory integral theorem and the Cartan–Hadamard theorem to show that, under the assumption of nonpositive...

Let $X={\sum }_{i=1}^k{a}_i{U}_i$, $Y={\sum }_{i=1}^k{b}_i{U}_i$, where the $U_i$ are independent random vectors, each uniformly distributed on the unit sphere in ℝⁿ, and $a_i,b_i$ are real constants. We prove that if $b{²}_i$ is majorized by $a{²}_i$ in the sense of Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya, and if Φ: ℝⁿ → ℝ is continuous and bisubharmonic, then EΦ(X) ≤ EΦ(Y). Consequences include most of the known sharp $L²-L^p$ Khinchin inequalities for sums of the form X. For radial Φ, bisubharmonicity is necessary as well as sufficient for the majorization inequality to always hold. Counterparts...

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...

Consider the $n\times n$ matrix with $(i,j)$’th entry $gcd(i,j)$. Its largest eigenvalue ${\lambda }_n$ and sum of entries $s_n$ satisfy ${\lambda }_n>s_n/n$. Because $s_n$ cannot be expressed algebraically as a function of $n$, we underestimate it in several ways. In examples, we compare the bounds so obtained with one another and with a bound from S. Hong, R. Loewy (2004). We also conjecture that ${\lambda }_n>6{\pi }^{-2}nlogn$ for all $n$. If $n$ is large enough, this follows from F. Balatoni (1969).

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.

We prove that Bloch’s conjecture is true for surfaces with $p_g=0$ obtained as $0$-sets $X_{\sigma }$ of a section $\sigma$ of a very ample vector bundle on a variety $X$ with “trivial” Chow groups. We get a similar result in presence of a finite group action, showing that if a projector of the group acts as $0$ on holomorphic $2$-forms of $X_{\sigma }$, then it acts as $0$ on $0$-cycles of degree $0$ of $X_{\sigma }$. In higher dimension, we also prove a similar but conditional result showing that the generalized Hodge conjecture for general $X_{\sigma }$...

We prove an interpolatory estimate linking the directional Haar projection $P^{\left(\epsilon \right)}$ to the Riesz transform in the context of Bochner-Lebesgue spaces $L^p(ℝⁿ;X)$, 1 < p < ∞, provided X is a UMD-space. If ${\epsilon }_{i₀}=1$, the result is the inequality $\left|\right|P^{\left(\epsilon \right)}{u\left|\right|}_{L^p(ℝⁿ;X)}{\le C\left|\right|u\left|\right|}_{L^p(ℝⁿ;X)}^{1/}\left|\right|R_{i₀}u{\left|\right|}_{L^p(ℝⁿ;X)}^{1-1/}$, (1) where the constant C depends only on n, p, the UMD-constant of X and the Rademacher type of $L^p(ℝⁿ;X)$. In order to obtain the interpolatory result (1) we analyze stripe operators $S_{\lambda }$, λ ≥ 0, which are used as basic building blocks to dominate the directional Haar projection....

In this paper, we obtain new sufficient conditions for the operators $F_{{\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,...,{\alpha }_n,\beta }\left(z\right)$ and $G_{{\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,...,{\alpha }_n,\beta }\left(z\right)$ to be univalent in the open unit disc $𝒰$, where the functions $f_1,f_2,...,f_n$ belong to the classes $S^{*}(a,b)$ and $𝒦(a,b)$. The order of convexity for the operators $F_{{\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,...,{\alpha }_n,\beta }\left(z\right)$ and $G_{{\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,...,{\alpha }_n,\beta }\left(z\right)$ is also determined. Furthermore, and for $\beta =1$, we obtain sufficient conditions for the operators $F_n\left(z\right)$ and $G_n\left(z\right)$ to be in the class $𝒦(a,b)$. Several corollaries and consequences of the main results are also considered.

Let 1 < p < ∞, q = p/(p-1) and for $f\in L^p(0,\infty )$ define $F\left(x\right)=(1/x){ʃ}_0^{x}f\left(t\right)dt$, x > 0. Moser’s Inequality states that there is a constant $C_p$ such that $su{p}_{a\le 1}su{p}_{f\in B_p}{ʃ}_0^{\infty }exp[a{x}^q{\left|F\left(x\right)\right|}^q-x]dx=C_p$ where $B_p$ is the unit ball of $L^p$. Moreover, the value a = 1 is sharp. We observe that $F=K_1$ f where the integral operator $K_1$ has a simple kernel K. We consider the question of for what kernels K(t,x), 0 ≤ t, x < ∞, this result can be extended, and proceed to discuss this when K is non-negative and homogeneous of degree -1. A sufficient condition on K is found for...

Let 1 ≤ p < ∞, $={\left(Xₙ\right)}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of Banach spaces and $l_p\left(\right)$ the coresponding vector valued sequence space. Let $={\left(Xₙ\right)}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$, $={\left(Yₙ\right)}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ be two sequences of Banach spaces, $={\left(Vₙ\right)}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$, Vₙ: Xₙ → Yₙ, a sequence of bounded linear operators and 1 ≤ p,q < ∞. We define the multiplication operator $M_{}:l_p\left(\right)\to l_q\left(\right)$ by $M_{}\left({\left(xₙ\right)}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}\right):={\left(Vₙ\left(xₙ\right)\right)}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for $M_{}$ to be 2-summing when (p,q) is one of the couples (1,2), (2,1), (2,2), (1,1), (p,1), (p,2), (2,p), (1,p), (p,q); in the last case 1 < p < 2, 1 < q < ∞. ...
