Let $L$ be a second order divergence form elliptic operator with complex bounded measurable coefficients. The operators arising in connection with $L$, such as the heat semigroup and Riesz transform, are not, in general, of Calderón-Zygmund type and exhibit behavior different from their counterparts built upon the Laplacian. The current paper aims at a thorough description of the properties of such operators in $L^p$, Sobolev, and some new Hardy spaces naturally associated to $L$. First, we show that the...

In this article, the structure of semiclassical measures for solutions to the linear Schrödinger equation on the torus is analysed. We show that the disintegration of such a measure on every invariant lagrangian torus is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. We obtain an expression of the Radon-Nikodym derivative in terms of the sequence of initial data and show that it satisfies an explicit propagation law. As a consequence, we also prove an observability inequality, saying...

Extending recent work for the linear Poisson problem for the Laplacian in the framework of Sobolev-Besov spaces on Lipschitz domains by Jerison and Kenig [16], Fabes, Mendez and Mitrea [9], and Mitrea and Taylor [30], here we take up the task of developing a similar sharp theory for semilinear problems of the type Δu - N(x,u) = F(x), equipped with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions.

In this paper, we prove some weighted inequalities for the multilinear operators related to certain integral operators on the generalized Morrey spaces by using the sharp estimates of the multilinear operators. The operators include Littlewood-Paley operator, Marcinkiewicz operator and Bochner-Riesz operator.

We consider a complete connected noncompact Riemannian manifold M with bounded geometry and spectral gap. We prove that the imaginary powers of the Laplacian and the Riesz transform are bounded from the Hardy space X¹(M), introduced in previous work of the authors, to L¹(M).

We establish the following sharp local estimate for the family ${R_j}_{j=1}^d$ of Riesz transforms on ${ℝ}^d$. For any Borel subset A of ${ℝ}^d$ and any function $f:{ℝ}^d\to ℝ$, ${\int }_A|R_{j}f\left(x\right)|dx\le C_p{\left|\right|f\left|\right|}_{L^p\left({ℝ}^d\right)}{\left|A\right|}^{1/q}$, 1 < p < ∞. Here q = p/(p-1) is the harmonic conjugate to p, $C_p={[2^{q+2}\Gamma (q+1)/{\pi }^{q+1}{\sum }_{k=0}^{\infty }{(-1)}^k/{(2k+1)}^{q+1}]}^{1/q}$, 1 < p < 2, and $C_p={[4\Gamma (q+1)/{\pi }^q{\sum }_{k=0}^{\infty }1/{(2k+1)}^q]}^{1/q}$, 2 ≤ p < ∞. This enables us to determine the precise values of the weak-type constants for Riesz transforms for 1 < p < ∞. The proof rests on appropriate martingale inequalities, which are of independent interest.

Sharp $L^p-L^q$ estimates are obtained for averaging operators associated to hypersurfaces in $R^n$ given as graphs of homogeneous functions. An application to the regularity of an initial value problem is given.

We prove sharp weighted inequalities of the form$${\int }_{{\mathbf{R}}^n}|f\left(x\right){|}^{p}v\left(x\right)dx\le C{\int }_{{\mathbf{R}}^n}|q\left(D\right)\left(f\right)\left(x\right){|}^{p}N\left(v\right)\left(x\right)dx$$where $q\left(D\right)$ is a differential operator and $N$ is a combination of maximal type operator related to $q\left(D\right)$ and to $p$.

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.

In the context of the spaces of homogeneous type, given a family of operators that look like approximations of the identity, new sharp maximal functions are considered. We prove a good-λ inequality for Muckenhoupt weights, which leads to an analog of the Fefferman-Stein estimate for the classical sharp maximal function. As a consequence, we establish weighted norm estimates for certain singular integrals, defined on irregular domains, with Hörmander conditions replaced by some estimates which do...

We investigate the boundedness of the fractional maximal operator with respect to a general basis on weighted Lebesgue spaces. We characterize the boundedness of these operators for one-weight and two-weight inequalities extending the work of Jawerth. A new two-weight testing condition for the fractional maximal operator on a general basis is introduced extending the work of Sawyer for the basis of cubes. We also find the sharp dependence in the two-weight case between the operator norm and the...
