Martingales and Sharp Bounds for Fourier multipliers

Abstract

Using the argument of Geiss, Montgomery-Smith and Saksman \cite{GMSS}, and a new martingale inequality, the $L^p$--norms of certain Fourier multipliers in $\R^d$, $d\geq 2$, are identified. These include, among others, the second order Riesz transforms $R_j^2$, $j=1, 2,..., d$, and some of the L\'evy multipliers studied in \cite{BBB}, \cite{BB}
