For any locally integrable f on ℝⁿ, we consider the operators S and T which average f over balls of radius |x| and center 0 and x, respectively: $Sf\left(x\right)=1/\left|B\right(0,\left|x\right|\left)\right|{\int }_{B(0,|x\left|\right)}f\left(t\right)dt$, $Tf\left(x\right)=1/\left|B\right(x,\left|x\right|\left)\right|{\int }_{B(x,|x\left|\right)}f\left(t\right)dt$ for x ∈ ℝⁿ. The purpose of the paper is to establish sharp localized LlogL estimates for S and T. The proof rests on a corresponding one-weight estimate for a martingale maximal function, a result which is of independent interest.

We extend a result of Coifman and Dahlberg [Singular integral characterizations of nonisotropic $H^p$ spaces and the F. and M. Riesz theorem, Proc. Sympos. Pure Math., Vol. 35, pp. 231–234; Amer. Math. Soc., Providence, 1979] on the characterization of $H^p$ spaces by singular integrals of ${ℝ}^n$ with a nonisotropic metric. Then we apply it to produce singular integral versions of generalized BMO spaces. More precisely, if $T_{\lambda }$ is the family of dilations in ${ℝ}^n$ induced by a matrix with a nonnegative eigenvalue, then...

We study general continuity properties for an increasing family of Banach spaces $S_w^p$ of classes for pseudo-differential symbols, where $S_w^{\infty }=S_w$ was introduced by J. Sjöstrand in 1993. We prove that the operators in $\mathrm{Op}\left(S_w^p\right)$ are Schatten-von Neumann operators of order $p$ on $L^2$. We prove also that $\mathrm{Op}\left(S_w^p\right)\mathrm{Op}\left(S_w^r\right)\subset \mathrm{Op}\left(S_w^r\right)$ and $S_w^p·S_w^q\subset S_w^r$, provided $1/p+1/q=1/r$. If instead $1/p+1/q=1+1/r$, then $S_w^{p}w*S_w^q\subset S_w^r$. By modifying the definition of the $S_w^p$-spaces, one also obtains symbol classes related to the $S(m,g)$ spaces.
