Ever since the discovery of the connection between the Menger-Melnikov curvature and the Cauchy kernel in the L2 norm, and its impressive utility in the analytic capacity problem, higher dimensional analogues have been coveted. The lesson from 1-sets was that any such (nontrivial, nonnegative) expression, using the Riesz kernels for m-sets in Rn, even in any Lk norm (k ∈ N), would probably carry nontrivial information on whether the boundedness of these kernels in the appropriate norm implies rectifiability...

Kato’s conjecture, stating that the domain of the square root of any accretive operator $L=-div\left(A\nabla \right)$ with bounded measurable coefficients in ${ℝ}^n$ is the Sobolev space $H^1\left({ℝ}^n\right)$, i.e. the domain of the underlying sesquilinear form, has recently been obtained by Auscher, Hofmann, Lacey, McIntosh and the author. These notes present the result and explain the strategy of proof.

We solve, in two dimensions, the "square root problem of Kato". That is, for L ≡ -div (A(x)∇), where A(x) is a 2 x 2 accretive matrix of bounded measurable complex coefficients, we prove that L1/2: L12(R2) → L2(R2).[Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Harmonic Analysis and Partial Differential Equations, El Escorial (Madrid), 2002].

Figà-Talamanca characterized the space of Fourier multipliers as the dual space of a certain Banach space. In this paper, we characterize the space of maximal Fourier multipliers as a dual space.

In this paper we propose to discuss some relationships between the classical Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), Litlewood-Paley theory, and harmonic measure. This circle of ideas is also closely related to the theory of Cauchy integrals on Lipschitz graphs, and this aspect is discussed more fully in the paper of David and Semmes [2] in this proceedings. The main differences between the subjects in [2] and this paper are that the results here are valid for one dimensional sets, whereas [2] treats...

Let ${\sigma }_i$, i = 1,2,3, denote positive Borel measures on ℝⁿ, let denote the usual collection of dyadic cubes in ℝⁿ and let K: → [0,∞) be a map. We give a characterization of a trilinear embedding theorem, that is, of the inequality ${\sum }_{Q\in }K\left(Q\right){\prod }_{i=1}^3|{\int }_Q{f}_{i}d{\sigma }_i|\le C{\prod }_{i=1}^3\left|\right|f_i{\left|\right|}_{L^{p_i}\left(d{\sigma }_i\right)}$ in terms of a discrete Wolff potential and Sawyer’s checking condition, when 1 < p₁,p₂,p₃ < ∞ and 1/p₁ + 1/p₂ + 1/p₃ ≥ 1.

Let φ:ℝ ² → ℝ be a homogeneous polynomial function of degree m ≥ 2, let μ be the Borel measure on ℝ ³ defined by $\mu \left(E\right)={\int }_D{\chi }_E(x,\phi \left(x\right))dx$ with D = x ∈ ℝ ²:|x| ≤ 1 and let $T_{\mu }$ be the convolution operator with the measure μ. Let $\phi =\phi {₁}^{e₁}\cdots \phi {ₙ}^{eₙ}$ be the decomposition of φ into irreducible factors. We show that if $e_i\ne m/2$ for each ${\phi }_i$ of degree 1, then the type set $E_{\mu }:=(1/p,1/q)\in [0,1]\times [0,1]:\left|\right|T_{\mu }{\left|\right|}_{p,q}<\infty$ can be explicitly described as a closed polygonal region.
