The heat kernel in the setting of classical Fourier-Bessel expansions is defined by an oscillatory series which cannot be computed explicitly. We prove qualitatively sharp estimates of this kernel. Our method relies on establishing a connection with a situation of expansions based on Jacobi polynomials and then transferring known sharp bounds for the related Jacobi heat kernel.
We study potential operators (Riesz and Bessel potentials) associated with classical Jacobi and Fourier-Bessel expansions. We prove sharp estimates for the corresponding potential kernels. Then we characterize those $1 \le p,q \le \infty$, for which the potential operators are of strong type $(p,q)$, of weak type $(p,q)$ and of restricted weak type $(p,q)$. These results may be thought of as analogues of the celebrated Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev fractional integration theorem in the Jacobi and Fourier-Bessel settings. As an ingredient of our line of reasoning, we also obtain sharp estimates of the Poisson kernel related to Fourier-Bessel expansions.
We prove qualitatively sharp estimates of the potential kernel for the harmonic oscillator. These bounds are then used to show that the $L^p-L^q$ estimates of the associated potential operator obtained recently by Bongioanni and Torrea are in fact sharp.
We derive an integral representation for the Jacobi-Poisson kernel valid for all admissible type parameters $α,β$ in the context of Jacobi expansions. This enables us to develop a technique for proving standard estimates in the Jacobi setting, which works for all possible $α$ and $β$. As a consequence, we can prove that several fundamental operators in the harmonic analysis of Jacobi expansions are (vector-valued) Calderón-Zygmund operators in the sense of the associated space of homogeneous type, and hence their mapping properties follow from the general theory. The new Jacobi-Poisson kernel representation also leads to sharp estimates of this kernel. The paper generalizes methods and results existing in the literature, but valid or justified only for a restricted range of $α$ and $β$.
We prove qualitatively sharp heat kernel bounds in the setting of Fourier-Bessel expansions when the associated type parameter $ν$ is half-integer. Moreover, still for half-integer $ν$, we also obtain sharp estimates of all kernels subordinated to the heat kernel. Analogous estimates for general $ν> -1$ are conjectured. Some consequences concerning the related heat semigroup maximal operator are discussed.
The heat kernel associated with the setting of the classical Jacobi polynomials is defined by an oscillatory sum which cannot be computed explicitly, in contrast to the situation for the two other classical systems of orthogonal polynomials. We deduce sharp estimates giving the order of magnitude of this kernel, for type parameters $α,β\ge -1/2$. As an application of the upper bound obtained, we show that the maximal operator of the multi-dimensional Jacobi heat semigroup satisfies a weak type $(1,1)$ inequality. We also obtain sharp estimates of the Poisson-Jacobi kernel.
We develop a technique of proving standard estimates in the setting of Laguerre function expansions of convolution type, which works for all admissible type multi-indices $α$ in this context. This generalizes a simpler method existing in the literature, but being valid for a restricted range of $α$. As an application, we prove that several fundamental operators in harmonic analysis of the Laguerre expansions, including maximal operators related to the heat and Poisson semigroups, Riesz transforms, Littlewood-Paley-Stein type square functions and multipliers of Laplace and Laplace-Stieltjes transforms type, are (vector-valued) Calderón-Zygmund operators in the sense of the associated space of homogeneous type.
We study several fundamental operators in harmonic analysis related to Bessel operators, including maximal operators related to heat and Poisson semigroups, Littlewood-Paley-Stein square functions, multipliers of Laplace transform type and Riesz transforms. We show that these are (vector-valued) Calderón-Zygmund operators in the sense of the associated space of homogeneous type, and hence their mapping properties follow from the general theory.
We study several Laguerre semigroups appearing in the literature and find sharp ranges of type parameters for which these semigroups are contractive on all $L^p$ spaces, $1\le p \le \infty$. We also answer a similar question for Bessel semigroups, which in a sense are closely related to the Laguerre semigroups.
We study several fundamental operators in harmonic analysis related to Jacobi expansions, including Riesz transforms, imaginary powers of the Jacobi operator, the Jacobi-Poisson semigroup maximal operator and Littlewood-Paley-Stein square functions. We show that these are (vector-valued) Calderón-Zygmund operators in the sense of the associated space of homogeneous type, and hence their mapping properties follow from the general theory. Our proofs rely on an explicit formula for the Jacobi-Poisson kernel, which we derive from a product formula for Jacobi polynomials.
We establish a symmetrization procedure in a context of general orthogonal expansions associated with a second order differential operator $L$, a `Laplacian'. Combined with a unified conjugacy scheme furnished in our earlier article it allows, via a suitable embedding, to associate a differential-difference `Laplacian' $\mathbb{L}$ with the initially given orthogonal system of eigenfunctions of $L$, so that the resulting extended conjugacy scheme has the natural classical shape. This means, in particular, that the related `partial derivatives' decomposing $\mathbb{L}$ are skew-symmetric in an appropriate $L^2$ space and they commute with Riesz transforms and conjugate Poisson integrals. The results shed also some new light on the question of defining higher order Riesz transforms for general orthogonal expansions.
We study negative powers of Laguerre differential operators in $\R$, $d\ge1$. For these operators we prove two-weight $L^p-L^q$ estimates, with ranges of $q$ depending on $p$. The case of the harmonic oscillator (Hermite operator) has recently been treated by Bongioanni and Torrea by using a straightforward approach of kernel estimates. Here these results are applied in certain Laguerre settings. The procedure is fairly direct for Laguerre function expansions of Hermite type, due to some monotonicity properties of the kernels involved. The case of Laguerre function expansions of convolution type is less straightforward. For half-integer type indices $α$ we transfer the desired results from the Hermite setting and then apply an interpolation argument based on a device we call the {\sl convexity principle} to cover the continuous range of $α\in[-1/2,\infty)^d$. Finally, we investigate negative powers of the Dunkl harmonic oscillator in the context of a finite reflection group acting on $\R$ and isomorphic to $\mathbb Z^d_2$. The two weight $L^p-L^q$ estimates we obtain in this setting are essentially consequences of those for Laguerre function expansions of convolution type.
In this paper we continue the study of spectral properties of the Dunkl harmonic oscillator in the context of a finite reflection group on $\mathbb{R}^d$ isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}^d_2$. We prove that imaginary powers of this operator are bounded on $L^p$, $1<p<\infty$, and from $L^1$ into weak $L^1$.
We prove sharp power-weighted strong type, weak type and restricted weak type inequalities for the heat and Poisson integral maximal operators, Riesz transform and a Littlewood-Paley type square function, emerging naturally in the harmonic analysis related to Bessel operators.
We define and study Riesz transforms and conjugate Poisson integrals associated with multi-dimensional Jacobi expansions.
We investigate in detail the mapping properties of the maximal operator associated with the heat-diffusion semigroup corresponding to expansions with respect to multi-dimensional standard Laguerre functions.
We define and investigate a system of Riesz transforms related to the Dunkl harmonic oscillator.
