Fourier Transform of Anisotropic Hardy Spaces Associated with Ball Quasi-Banach Function Spaces and Its Applications to Hardy--Littlewood Inequalities

Abstract

Let $A$ be a general expansive matrix and $X$ be a ball quasi-Banach function space on $\mathbb R^n$, whose certain power (namely its convexification) supports a Fefferman--Stein vector-valued maximal inequality and the associate space of whose other power supports the boundedness of the powered Hardy--Littlewood maximal operator. Let $H_X^A(\mathbb{R}^n)$ be the anisotropic Hardy space associated with $A$ and $X$. The authors first prove that the Fourier transform of $f\in H^A_{X}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ coincides with a continuous function $F$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ in the sense of tempered distributions. Moreover, the authors obtain a pointwise inequality that the function $F$ is less than the product of the anisotropic Hardy space norm of $f$ and a step function with respect to the transpose matrix of the expansive matrix $A$. Applying this, the authors further induce a higher order convergence for the function $F$ at the origin and give a variant of the Hardy--Littlewood inequality in $H^A_{X}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. All these results have a wide range of applications. Particularly, the authors apply these results, respectively, to classical (variable and mixed-norm) Lebesgue spaces, Morrey spaces, Lorentz spaces, Orlicz spaces, Orlicz-slice spaces, and local generalized Herz spaces and, even on the last five function spaces, the obtained results are completely new.
