Multi-parameter singular Radon transforms II: the L^p theory

The purpose of this paper is to study the $L^p$ boundedness of operators of the form \[ f\mapsto ψ(x) \int f(γ_t(x))K(t)\: dt, \] where $γ_t(x)$ is a $C^\infty$ function defined on a neighborhood of the origin in $(t,x)\in \R^N\times \R^n$, satisfying $γ_0(x)\equiv x$, $ψ$ is a $C^\infty$ cutoff function supported on a small neighborhood of $0\in \R^n$, and $K$ is a "multi-parameter singular kernel" supported on a small neighborhood of $0\in \R^N$. We also study associated maximal operators. The goal is, given an appropriate class of kernels $K$, to give conditions on $γ$ such that every operator of the above form is bounded on $L^p$ ($1<p<\infty$). The case when $K$ is a Calderón-Zygmund kernel was studied by Christ, Nagel, Stein, and Wainger; we generalize their work to the case when $K$ is (for instance) given by a "product kernel." Even when $K$ is a Calderón-Zygmund kernel, our methods yield some new results. This is the second paper in a three part series. The first paper deals with the case $p=2$, while the third paper deals with the special case when $γ$ is real analytic.

The Bergman projection in $L^p$ for domains with minimal smoothness

Let $D\subset\mathbb C^n$ be a bounded, strongly Levi-pseudoconvex domain with minimally smooth boundary. We prove $L^p(D)$-regularity for the Bergman projection $B$, and for the operator $|B|$ whose kernel is the absolute value of the Bergman kernel with $p$ in the range $(1,+\infty)$. As an application, we show that the space of holomorphic functions in a neighborhood of $\bar{D}$ is dense in $\vartheta L^p (D)$.

Multi-parameter singular Radon transforms III: real analytic surfaces

The goal of this paper is to study operators of the form, \[ Tf(x)= ψ(x)\int f(γ_t(x))K(t)\: dt, \] where $γ$ is a real analytic function defined on a neighborhood of the origin in $(t,x)\in \R^N\times \R^n$, satisfying $γ_0(x)\equiv x$, $ψ$ is a cutoff function supported near $0\in \R^n$, and $K$ is a "multi-parameter singular kernel" supported near $0\in \R^N$. A main example is when $K$ is a "product kernel." We also study maximal operators of the form, \[ \mathcal{M} f(x) = ψ(x)\sup_{0<δ_1,..., δ_N<<1} \int_{|t|<1} |f(γ_{δ_1 t_1,...,δ_N t_N}(x))|\: dt. \] We show that $\mathcal{M}$ is bounded on $L^p$ ($1<p\leq \infty$). We give conditions on $γ$ under which $T$ is bounded on $L^p$ ($1<p<\infty$); these conditions hold automatically when $K$ is a Calderón-Zygmund kernel. This is the final paper in a three part series. The first two papers consider the more general case when $γ$ is $C^\infty$.

Multi-parameter singular Radon transforms

The purpose of this announcement is to describe a development given in a series of forthcoming papers by the authors that concern operators of the form \[ f\mapsto ψ(x) \int f(γ_t(x)) K(t)\: dt, \] where $γ_t(x)=γ(t,x)$ is a $C^\infty$ function defined on a neighborhood of the origin in $(t,x)\in \mathbb{R}^N\times \mathbb{R}^n$ satisfying $γ_0(x)\equiv x$, $K(t)$ is a "multi-parameter singular kernel" supported near $t=0$, and $ψ$ is a cutoff function supported near $x=0$. This note concerns the case when $K$ is a "product kernel". The goal is to give conditions on $γ$ such that the above operator is bounded on $L^p$ for $1<p<\infty$. Associated maximal functions are also discussed. The "single-parameter" case when $K$ is a Calderón-Zygmund kernel was studied by Christ, Nagel, Stein, and Wainger. The theory here extends these results to the multi-parameter context and also deals effectively with the case when $γ$ is real-analytic.

Singular and maximal Radon transforms: Analysis and geometry

The purpose of this paper is to prove the L^p boundedness of singular Radon transforms and their maximal analogues. These operators differ from the traditional singular integrals and maximal functions in that their definition at any point x in R^n involves integration over a k-dimensional submanifold of R^n, depending on x, with k < n. The role of the underlying geometric data which determines the submanifolds and how they depend on x, makes the analysis of these operators quite different from their standard analogues. In fact, much of our work is involved in the examination of the resulting geometric situation, and the elucidation of an attached notion of curvature (a kind of ``finite-type'' condition) which is crucial for our analysis.
