Writing $(T_R^{\lambda }f)\widehat{}\left(\xi \right)=(1-|\xi {|}^2/R^2{)}_{+}^{\lambda }\widehat{f}\left(\xi \right)$. E. Stein conjectured $$\parallel {\left(\sum _j|T_{R_j}^{\lambda }{f}_i{|}^2\right)}^{1/2}{\parallel }_p\le C\parallel {\left(\sum _j|f_j{|}^2\right)}^{1/2}{\parallel }_p$$ for $\lambda \>0$, $\frac{4}{3}\le p\le 4$ and $C=C_{\lambda ,p}$. We prove this conjecture. We prove also $f\left(x\right)={lim}_{j\to \infty }{T}_{2^j}^{\lambda }f\left(x\right)$ a.e. We only assume $\frac{4}{3+2\lambda }\<p\<\frac{4}{1-2\lambda }$.

Assume $f_1,...,f_N$ a finite set of functions in $H^{\infty }\left(D\right)$, the space of bounded analytic functions on the open unit disc. We give a sufficient condition on a function $f$ in $H^{\infty }\left(D\right)$ to belong to the norm-closure of the ideal $I(f_1,...,f_N)$ generated by $f_1,...,f_N$, namely the property $$\left|f\right(z\left)\right|\le \alpha \left(\right|f_1\left(z\right)|+...+|f_N\left(z\right)\left|\right)\text{for}z\in D$$ for some function $\alpha$ : ${\mathbf{R}}_{+}\to {\mathbf{R}}_{+}$ satisfying ${lim}_{t\to 0}\alpha \left(t\right)/t=0.$ The main feature in the proof is an improvement in the contour-construction appearing in L. Carleson’s solution of the corona-problem. It is also shown that the property $$\left|f\left(z\right)\right|\le C\underset{1\le j\le N}{max}\left|f_j\left(z\right)\right|\text{for}z\in D$$ ...

Let $\Delta u={\Sigma }_i\frac{{\partial }^2}{{\partial }_{x_i}^2}$, $Lu={\Sigma }_{i,j}{a}_{ij}\frac{{\partial }^2}{\partial x_i\partial x_j}u+{\Sigma }_i{b}_i\frac{\partial }{\partial x_i}u+cu$ be elliptic operators with Hölder continuous coefficients on a bounded domain $\Omega \subset {\mathbf{R}}^n$ of class $C^{1,1}$. There is a constant $c\>0$ depending only on the Hölder norms of the coefficients of $L$ and its constant of ellipticity such that $$c^{-1}{G}_{\Delta }^{\Omega }\le G_L^{\Omega }\le c{G}_{\Delta }^{\Omega }\text{on}\Omega \times \Omega ,$$ where ${\gamma }_{\Delta }^{\Omega }$ (resp. $G_L^{\Omega }$) are the Green functions of $\Delta$ (resp. $L$) on $\Omega$.

In this paper we continue the study of the Fourier transform on ${\mathbf{R}}^n$, $n\ge 2$, analyzing the “almost-orthogonality” of the different directions of the space with respect to the Fourier transform. We prove two theorems: the first is related to an angular Littlewood-Paley square function, and we obtain estimates in terms of powers of $log\left(N\right)$, where $N$ is the number of equal angles considered in ${\mathbf{R}}^2$. The second is an extension of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function when one consider cylinders of ${\mathbf{R}}^n$, $n\ge 2$,...

Let $f\left(x\right)\sim \Sigma a_n{e}^{2\pi inx},f*\left(x\right)\sim {\sum }_{n=0}^{\infty }a{*}_n\cos 2\pi nx$, where the $a{*}_n$ are the numbers $\left|a_n\right|$ rearranged so that $a_n^{*}\searrow 0$. Then for any convex increasing $\psi$, $\parallel \psi \left(\right|f{|}^2{\parallel }_1\le \parallel \psi \left(20\right|f*{|}^2{\parallel }_1$. The special case $\psi \left(t\right)=t^{q/2}$, $q\ge 2$, gives $\parallel f{\parallel }_q\le 5\parallel f*{\parallel }_q$ an equivalent of Littlewood.
