Averages over homogeneous hypersurfaces in R3.
This paper is meant as a (short and partial) introduction to the study of the geometry of Carnot groups and, more generally, of Carnot-Carathéodory spaces associated with a family of Lipschitz continuous vector fields. My personal interest in this field goes back to a series of joint papers with E. Lanconelli, where this notion was exploited for the study of pointwise regularity of weak solutions to degenerate elliptic partial differential equations. As stated in the title, here we are mainly concerned...
We determine the set of all triples 1 ≤ p,q,r ≤ ∞ for which the so-called Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequality is satisfied: There exists a constant c≥ 0 such that for each bounded linear operator , each n ∈ ℕ and functions , . This type of inequality includes as special cases well-known inequalities of Paley, Marcinkiewicz, Zygmund, Grothendieck, and Kwapień. If such a Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequality holds for a given triple (p,q,r), then we calculate the best constant c ≥ 0 (with the only exception:...
