Iterated commutators under a joint condition on the tuple of multiplying functions

We present a pair of joint conditions on the two functions $b_1,b_2$ strictly weaker than $b_1,b_2\in \operatorname{BMO}$ that almost characterize the $L^2$ boundedness of the iterated commutator $[b_2,[b_1,T]]$ of these functions and a Calderón-Zygmund operator $T.$ Namely, we sandwich this boundedness between two bisublinear mean oscillation conditions of which one is a slightly bumped up version of the other.

Multilinear operator-valued Calderón-Zygmund theory

We develop a general theory of multilinear singular integrals with operator-valued kernels, acting on tuples of UMD Banach spaces. This, in particular, involves investigating multilinear variants of the $\mathcal R$-boundedness condition naturally arising in operator-valued theory. We proceed by establishing a suitable representation of multilinear, operator-valued singular integrals in terms of operator-valued dyadic shifts and paraproducts, and studying the boundedness of these model operators via dyadic-probabilistic Banach space-valued analysis. In the bilinear case, we obtain a $T(1)$-type theorem without any additional assumptions on the Banach spaces other than the necessary UMD. Higher degrees of multilinearity are tackled via a new formulation of the Rademacher maximal function (RMF) condition. In addition to the natural UMD lattice cases, our RMF condition covers suitable tuples of non-commutative $L^p$-spaces. We employ our operator-valued theory to obtain new multilinear, multi-parameter, operator-valued theorems in the natural setting of UMD spaces with property $α$.

Off-diagonal estimates for bi-commutators

We study the bi-commutators $[T_1, [b, T_2]]$ of pointwise multiplication and Calderón-Zygmund operators, and characterize their $L^{p_1}L^{p_2} \to L^{q_1}L^{q_2}$ boundedness for several off-diagonal regimes of the mixed-norm integrability exponents $(p_1,p_2)\neq(q_1,q_2)$. The strategy is based on a bi-parameter version of the recent approximate weak factorization method.

Some new weighted estimates on product spaces

We complete our theory of weighted $L^p(w_1) \times L^q(w_2) \to L^r(w_1^{r/p} w_2^{r/q})$ estimates for bilinear bi-parameter Calderón--Zygmund operators under the assumption that $w_1 \in A_p$ and $w_2 \in A_q$ are bi-parameter weights. This is done by lifting a previous restriction on the class of singular integrals by extending a classical result of Muckenhoupt and Wheeden regarding weighted BMO spaces to the product BMO setting. We use this extension of the Muckenhoupt-Wheeden result also to generalise some two-weight commutator estimates from bi-parameter to multi-parameter. This gives a fully satisfactory Bloom type upper estimate for $[T_1, [T_2, \ldots [b, T_k]]]$, where each $T_i$ can be a completely general multi-parameter Calderón--Zygmund operator.

End-point estimates, extrapolation for multilinear Muckenhoupt classes, and applications

In this paper we present the results announced in the recent work by the first, second, and fourth authors of the current paper concerning Rubio de Francia extrapolation for the so-called multilinear Muckenhoupt classes. Here we consider the situations where some of the exponents of the Lebesgue spaces appearing in the hypotheses and/or in the conclusion can be possibly infinity. The scheme we follow is similar, but, in doing so, we need to develop a one-variable end-point off-diagonal extrapolation result. This complements the corresponding ``finite'' case obtained by Duoandikoetxea, which was one of the main tools in the aforementioned paper. The second goal of this paper is to present some applications. For example, we obtain the full range of mixed-norm estimates for tensor products of bilinear Calderón-Zygmund operators with a proof based on extrapolation and on some estimates with weights in some mixed-norm classes. The same occurs with the multilinear Calderón-Zygmund operators, the bilinear Hilbert transform, and the corresponding commutators with BMO functions. Extrapolation along with the already established weighted norm inequalities easily give scalar and vector-valued inequalities with multilinear weights and these include the end-point cases.

Banach-valued multilinear singular integrals with modulation invariance

We prove that the class of trilinear multiplier forms with singularity over a one dimensional subspace, including the bilinear Hilbert transform, admit bounded $L^p$-extension to triples of intermediate $\mathrm{UMD}$ spaces. No other assumption, for instance of Rademacher maximal function type, is made on the triple of $\mathrm{UMD}$ spaces. Among the novelties in our analysis is an extension of the phase-space projection technique to the $\mathrm{UMD}$-valued setting. This is then employed to obtain appropriate single tree estimates by appealing to the $\mathrm{UMD}$-valued bound for bilinear Calderón-Zygmund operators recently obtained by the same authors.

$C_p$ estimates for rough homogeneous singular integrals and sparse forms

We consider Coifman--Fefferman inequalities for rough homogeneous singular integrals $T_Ω$ and $C_p$ weights. It was recently shown by Li-Pérez-Rivera-Ríos-Roncal that $$ \|T_Ω\|_{L^p(w)} \le C_{p,T,w} \|Mf\|_{L^p(w)} $$ for every $0< p < \infty$ and every $w \in A_\infty$. Our first goal is to generalize this result for every $w \in C_q$ where $q > \max\{1,p\}$ without using extrapolation theory. Although the bounds we prove are new even in a qualitative sense, we also give the quantitative bound with respect to the $C_q$ characteristic. Our techniques rely on recent advances in sparse domination theory and we actually prove most of our estimates for sparse forms. Our second goal is to continue the structural analysis of $C_p$ classes. We consider some weak self-improving properties of $C_p$ weights and weak and dyadic $C_p$ classes. We also revisit and generalize a counterexample by Kahanpää and Mejlbro who showed that $C_p \setminus \bigcup_{q > p} C_q \neq \emptyset$. We combine their construction with techniques of Lerner to define an explicit weight class $\widetilde{C}_p$ such that $\bigcup_{q > p} C_q \subsetneq \widetilde{C}_p \subsetneq C_p$ and every $w \in \widetilde{C}_p$ satisfies Muckenhoupt's conjecture. In particular, we give a different, self-contained proof for the fact that the $C_{p+\varepsilon}$ condition is not necessary for the Coifman--Fefferman inequality and our ideas allow us to consider also dimensions higher than $1$.

Restricted testing for positive operators

We prove that for certain positive operators $T$, such as the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function and fractional integrals, there is a constant $D>1$, depending only on the dimension $n$, such that the two weight norm inequality \begin{equation*} \int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}}T\left( fσ\right) ^{2}dω\leq C\int_{\mathbb{ R}^{n}}f^{2}dσ\end{equation*} holds for all $f\geq 0$ if and only if the (fractional) $A_{2}$ condition holds, and the restricted testing condition \begin{equation*} \int_{Q}T\left( 1_{Q}σ\right) ^{2}dω\leq C\left\ | Q\right\ |_{σ} \end{equation*} holds for all cubes $Q$ satisfying $\left\ | 2Q\right\ |_{σ}\leq D\left\ | Q\right\ |_{σ}$. If $T$ is linear, we require as well that the dual restricted testing condition \begin{equation*} \int_{Q}T^{\ast }\left( 1_{Q}ω\right) ^{2}dσ\leq C\left\ | Q\right\ |_{ω} \end{equation*} holds for all cubes $Q$ satisfying $\left\ | 2Q\right\ |_{ω}\leq D\left\ | Q\right\ |_{ω}$.

Bloom type upper bounds in the product BMO setting

For a bounded singular integral $T_n$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and a bounded singular integral $T_m$ in $\mathbb{R}^m$ we prove that $$ \| [T_n^1, [b, T_m^2]] \|_{L^p(μ) \to L^p(λ)} \lesssim_{[μ]_{A_p}, [λ]_{A_p}} \|b\|_{\operatorname{BMO}_{\textrm{prod}}(ν)}, $$ where $p \in (1,\infty)$, $μ, λ\in A_p$ and $ν:= μ^{1/p}λ^{-1/p}$. Here $T_n^1$ is $T_n$ acting on the first variable, $T_m^2$ is $T_m$ acting on the second variable, $A_p$ stands for the bi-parameter weights of $\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^m$ and $\operatorname{BMO}_{\textrm{prod}}(ν)$ is a weighted product BMO space.

Bloom type inequality for bi-parameter singular integrals: efficient proof and iterated commutators

Utilising some recent ideas from our bilinear bi-parameter theory, we give an efficient proof of a two-weight Bloom type inequality for iterated commutators of linear bi-parameter singular integrals. We prove that if $T$ is a bi-parameter singular integral satisfying the assumptions of the bi-parameter representation theorem, then $$ \| [b_k,\cdots[b_2, [b_1, T]]\cdots]\|_{L^p(μ) \to L^p(λ)} \lesssim_{[μ]_{A_p}, [λ]_{A_p}} \prod_{i=1}^k\|b_i\|_{\operatorname{bmo}(ν^{θ_i})} , $$ where $p \in (1,\infty)$, $θ_i \in [0,1]$, $\sum_{i=1}^kθ_i=1$, $μ, λ\in A_p$, $ν:= μ^{1/p}λ^{-1/p}$. Here $A_p$ stands for the bi-parameter weights in $\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^m$ and $\operatorname{bmo}(ν)$ is a suitable weighted little BMO space. We also simplify the proof of the known first order case.

Restricted testing for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function

We answer a special case of a question of T. Hytonen regarding the two weight norm inequality for the maximal function M in the affirmative, namely that there is a constant D > 1, depending only on dimension n, such that the two weight norm inequality for M holds if and only if the A_2 condition holds, and the testing condition holds for all doubling cubes.

Bilinear Calderón-Zygmund theory on product spaces

We develop a wide general theory of bilinear bi-parameter singular integrals $T$. First, we prove a dyadic representation theorem starting from $T1$ assumptions and apply it to show many estimates, including $L^p \times L^q \to L^r$ estimates in the full natural range together with weighted estimates and mixed-norm estimates. Second, we develop commutator decompositions and show estimates in the full range for commutators and iterated commutators, like $[b_1,T]_1$ and $[b_2, [b_1, T]_1]_2$, where $b_1$ and $b_2$ are little BMO functions. Our proof method can be used to simplify and improve linear commutator proofs, even in the two-weight Bloom setting. We also prove commutator lower bounds by using and developing the recent median method.

Quasi-Banach estimates of commutators of bilinear bi-parameter singular integrals: paraproducts

We complete our boundedness theory of commutators of bilinear bi-parameter singular integrals by establishing the following result. If $T$ is a bilinear bi-parameter singular integral satisfying suitable $T1$ type assumptions, $\|b\|_{\operatorname{bmo}(\mathbb{R}^{n+m})} = 1$ and $1 < p, q \le \infty$ and $1/2 < r < \infty$ satisfy $1/p+1/q = 1/r$, then we have $$ \|[b, T]_1(f_1, f_2)\|_{L^r(\mathbb{R}^{n+m})} \lesssim \|f_1\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^{n+m})} \|f_2\|_{L^q(\mathbb{R}^{n+m})}. $$ Previously the range $r \le 1$ was proved only in the paraproduct free situation. The main novelty lies in the treatment of the so called partial paraproducts.

Flow with $A_\infty(\mathbb R)$ density and transport equation in $\mathrm{BMO}(\mathbb R)$

We show that, if $b\in L^1(0,T;L^1_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb{R}))$ has spatial derivative in the John-Nirenberg space $\mathrm{BMO}(\mathbb{R})$, then it generalizes a unique flow $ϕ(t,\cdot)$ which has an $A_\infty(\mathbb R)$ density for each time $t\in [0,T]$. Our condition on the map $b$ is optimal and we also get a sharp quantitative estimate for the density. As a natural application we establish a well-posedness for the Cauchy problem of the transport equation in $\mathrm{BMO}(\mathbb R)$.

Commutators of bilinear bi-parameter singular integrals

We study the boundedness properties of commutators formed by $b$ and $T$, where $T$ is a bilinear bi-parameter singular integral satisfying natural $T1$ type conditions and $b$ is a little BMO function. For paraproduct free bilinear bi-parameter singular integrals $T$ we prove that $[b, T]_1 \colon L^p(\mathbb{R}^{n+m}) \times L^q(\mathbb{R}^{n+m}) \to L^r(\mathbb{R}^{n+m})$ in the full range $1 < p, q \le \infty$, $1/2 < r < \infty$ satisfying $1/p+1/q = 1/r$. A special case is when $T$ is a bilinear bi-parameter multiplier. We also prove the corresponding Banach range result for all singular integrals satisfying the $T1$ type conditions. In doing so we simplify the corresponding linear proof. Lastly, we prove analogous results for iterated commutators.

Extrapolation for multilinear Muckenhoupt classes and applications to the bilinear Hilbert transform

In this paper we solve a long standing problem about the multivariable Rubio de Francia extrapolation theorem for the multilinear Muckenhoupt classes $A_{\vec{p}}$, which were extensively studied by Lerner et al. and which are the natural ones for the class of multilinear Calderón-Zygmund operators. Furthermore, we go beyond the classes $A_{\vec{p}}$ and extrapolate within the classes $A_{\vec{p},\vec{r}}$ which appear naturally associated to the weighted norm inequalities for multilinear sparse forms which control fundamental operators such as the bilinear Hilbert transform. We give several applications which can be easily obtained using extrapolation. First, for the bilinear Hilbert transform one can extrapolate from the recent result of Culiuc et al. who considered the Banach range and extend the estimates to the quasi-Banach range. As a direct consequence, we obtain weighted vector-valued inequalities reproving some of the results by Benea and Muscalu. We also extend recent results of Carando et al. on Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund estimates for multilinear Calderón-Zygmund operators. Finally, our last application gives new weighted estimates for the commutators of multilinear Calderón-Zygmund operators and for the bilinear Hilbert transform with BMO functions using ideas from Bényi et al.

Weighted norm inequalities for rough singular integral operators

In this paper we provide weighted estimates for rough operators, including rough homogeneous singular integrals $T_Ω$ with $Ω\in L^\infty(\mathbb{S}^{n-1})$ and the Bochner-Riesz multiplier at the critical index $B_{(n-1)/2}$. More precisely, we prove qualitative and quantitative versions of Coifman-Fefferman type inequalities and their vector-valued extensions, weighted $A_p-A_\infty$ strong and weak type inequalities for $1<p<\infty$, and $A_1-A_\infty$ type weak $(1,1)$ estimates. Moreover, Fefferman-Stein type inequalities are obtained, proving in this way a conjecture raised by the second-named author in the 90's. As a corollary, we obtain the weighted $A_1-A_\infty$ type estimates. Finally, we study rough homogenous singular integrals with a kernel involving a function $Ω\in L^q(\mathbb{S}^{n-1})$, $1<q<\infty$, and provide Fefferman-Stein inequalities too. The arguments used for our proofs combine several tools: a recent sparse domination result by Conde-Alonso et.al. [CACDPO], results by the first author in [L], suitable adaptations of Rubio de Francia algorithm, the extrapolation theorems for $A_{\infty}$ weights [CMP,CGMP] and ideas contained in previous works by A. Seeger in [S] and D. Fan and S. Sato [FS].

Vector-valued operators, optimal weighted estimates and the $C_p$ condition

Sharp weighted estimates are obtained for vector-valued extensions of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator, Calderón-Zygmund operators and Coifman-Rochberg-Weiss commutator. Those estimates will rely upon suitable pointwise estimates in terms of sparse operators. We also prove some new results for the $C_p$ classes introduced by Muckenhoupt and later extended by Sawyer, in particular we extend the result to the full expected range $p > 0$, to the weak norm, to other operators and to the their vector-valued extensions.
