The two weight T1 theorem for fractional Riesz transforms when one measure is supported on a curve

Using our T1 theorem with an energy side condition allowing common point masses, we extend our previous work in arXiv:1310.4484v3 on one measure supported on a line, to include regular C(1,delta) curves and to permit common point masses. In the special case of the Cauchy transform with one measure supported on the circle, this gives a slightly different conclusion than that in arXiv:1310.4820v4.

The Krzyż conjecture revisited

The Krzyż conjecture concerns the largest values of the Taylor coefficients of a non-vanishing analytic function bounded by one in modulus in the unit disk. It has been open since 1968 even though information on the structure of extremal functions is available. The purpose of this paper is to collect various conditions that the coefficients of an extremal function (and various other quantities associated with it) should satisfy if the conjecture is true and to show that each one of these properties is equivalent to the conjecture itself. This may provide several possible starting points for future attempts at solving the problem.

The Linear Bound for Haar Multiplier Paraproducts

We study the natural resolution of the conjugated Haar multiplier $M_{w^{\frac{1}{2}}}T_σM_{w^{-\frac{1}{2}}},$ where the multiplication operators $M_{w^{\pm\frac{1}{2}}}$ are decomposed into their canonical paraproduct decompositions. We prove that each constituent operator obtained from this resolution has a linear bound on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d;w)$ in terms of the $A_{2}$ characteristic of $w$. The main tools used are a product formula for Haar coefficients, the Carleson Embedding Theorem, the linear bound for the square function, and the well-known linear bound of $T_σ$ on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d,w).$

A two weight theorem for fractional singular integrals in higher dimension

We prove a two weight theorem for alpha-fractional singular integrals in higher dimensions, assuming energy side conditions. We also show that reversal of the Energy Lemma fails for the vector Riesz transforms in the plane, as well as other collections of convolution Calderon-Zygmund operators in the plane, and when alpha = 1, even for the infinite vector of all classical 1-fractional Calderon-Zygmund operators.

Two Weight Inequality for the Hilbert Transform: A Real Variable Characterization, I

The two weight inequality for the Hilbert transform arises in the settings of analytic function spaces, operator theory, and spectral theory, and what would be most useful is a characterization in the simplest real-variable terms. We show that the $L^2$ to $L^2$ inequality holds if and only if two L^2 to weak-L^2 inequalities hold. This is a corollary to a characterization in terms of a two-weight Poisson inequality, and a pair of testing inequalities on bounded functions.

The Linear Bound for the Natural Weighted Resolution of the Haar Shift

The Hilbert transform has a linear bound in the $A_{2}$ characteristic on weighted $L^{2}$, \begin{equation*} \left\Vert H\right\Vert _{L^{2}(w)\rightarrow L^{2}(w)}\lesssim \left[ w \right] _{A_{2}}, \end{equation*} and we extend this linear bound to the nine constituent operators in the natural weighted resolution of the conjugation $M_{w^{\frac{1}{2}}}\mathcal{S }M_{w^{-\frac{1}{2}}}$ induced by the canonical decomposition of a multiplier into paraproducts:% \begin{equation*} M_{f}=P_{f}^{-}+P_{f}^{0}+P_{f}^{+}. \end{equation*} The main tools used are composition of paraproducts, a product formula for Haar coefficients, the Carleson Embedding Theorem, and the linear bound for the square function.

The Two Weight Inequality for Hilbert Transform, Coronas, and Energy Conditions

We consider the two weight problem for the Hilbert transform, namely the question of finding real-variable characterization of those pair of weights for which the Hilbert transform acts boundedly on $ L ^2 $ of the weights. Such a characterization is known subject to certain side conditions. We give a new proof, simpler in many details, of the best such result. In addition, we analyze underlying assumptions in the proof, especially in terms of two alternate side conditions. A new characterization in the case of one doubling weight is given.

Two Weight Inequalities for Maximal Truncations of Dyadic Calderón-Zygmund Operators

We consider L^p two weight inequalities for maximal truncations of dyadic Calderon-Zygmund operators. In the case of one weight being doubling, a characterization is given, and for the general case, sufficient conditions are given, including standard and non-standard testing conditions. The arguments of this paper parallel the authors prior work arXiv:0805.4711, but in this paper are much easier.

Weak and Strong type $ A_p$ Estimates for Calderón-Zygmund Operators

For a Calderon-Zygmund operator T on d-dimensional space, that has a sufficiently smooth kernel, we prove that for any 1< p \le 2, and weight w in A_p, that the maximal truncations T_* of T map L^p(w) to weak-L^p(w), with norm bounded by the A_p characteristic of w to the first power. This result combined with the (deep) recent result of Perez-Treil-Volberg, shows that the strong-type of T on L^2(w) is bounded by A_2 characteristic of w to the first power. (It is well-known that L^2 is the critical case for the strong type estimate.) Both results are sharp, aside from the number of derivatives imposed on the kernel of the operator. The proof uses the full structure theory of Calderon-Zygmund Operators, reduction to testing conditions, and a Corona argument.

Weak And Strong Type Estimates for Maximal Truncations of Calderón-Zygmund Operators on $ A_p$ Weighted Spaces

For 1<p< \infty, weight w \in A_p, and any L ^2 -bounded Calderón-Zygmund operator T, we show that there is a constant C(T,P) so that we prove the sharp norm dependence on T_#, the maximal truncations of T, in both weak and strong type L^p(w) norms. Namely, for the weak type norm, T_# maps L^p(w) to weak-L^p(w) with norm at most \|w\|_{A_p}. And for the strong type norm, the norm estimate is \|w\|_{A_p}^{\max(1, (p-1) ^{-1})}. These estimates are not improvable in the power of \lVert w\rVert_{A_p}. Our argument follows the outlines of the arguments of Lacey-Petermichl-Reguera (Math.\ Ann.\ 2010) and Hytönen-Pérez-Treil-Volberg (arXiv, 2010) with new ingredients, including a weak-type estimate for certain duals of T_#, and sufficient conditions for two weight inequalities in L ^{p} for T_#. Our proof does not rely upon extrapolation.

A Two Weight Inequality for the Hilbert transform Assuming an Energy Hypothesis

Subject to a range of side conditions, the two weight inequality for the Hilbert transform is characterized in terms of (1) a Poisson A_2 condition on the weights (2) A forward testing condition, in which the two weight inequality is tested on intervals (3) and a backwards testing condition, dual to (2). A critical new concept in the proof is an Energy Condition, which incorporates information about the distribution of the weights in question inside intervals. This condition is a consequence of the three conditions above. The Side Conditions are termed 'Energy Hypotheses'. At one endpoint they are necessary for the two weight inequality, and at the other, they are the Pivotal Conditions of Nazarov-Treil-Volberg. This new concept is combined with a known proof strategy devised by Nazarov-Treil-Volberg. A counterexample shows that the Pivotal Condition are not necessary for the two weight inequality.

Two Weight Inequalities for Discrete Positive Operators

We characterize two weight inequalities for general positive dyadic operators. We consider both weak and strong type inequalities, and general (p,q) mapping properties. Special cases include Sawyers Fractional Integral operator results from 1988, and the bilinear embedding inequality of Nazarov-Treil-Volberg from 1999. The method of proof is an extension of Sawyer's argument.

Distance Functions for Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces

Suppose H is a space of functions on X. If H is a Hilbert space with reproducing kernel then that structure of H can be used to build distance functions on X. We describe some of those and their interpretations and interrelations. We also present some computational properties and examples.

Astala's Conjecture on Distortion of Hausdorff Measures under Quasiconformal Maps in the Plane

Let E be a compact set in the plane, g be a K-quasiconformal map, and let 0<t<2. Then H^t (E) = 0 implies H^{t'} (g E) = 0, for t'=[2Kt]/[2+(K-1)t]. This is a refinement of a set of inequalities on the distortion of Hausdorff dimensions by quasiconformal maps proved by K. Astala in his celebrated paper on area distortion for quasiconformal maps and answers in the positive a Conjecture of K. Astala in op. cit.
