Product Hardy spaces associated to operators with heat kernel bounds on spaces of homogeneous type

The aim of this article is to develop the theory of product Hardy spaces associated with operators which possess the weak assumption of Davies--Gaffney heat kernel estimates, in the setting of spaces of homogeneous type. We also establish a Calderón--Zygmund decomposition on product spaces, which is of independent interest, and use it to study the interpolation of these product Hardy spaces. We then show that under the assumption of generalized Gaussian estimates, the product Hardy spaces coincide with the Lebesgue spaces, for an appropriate range of~$p$.

End-point estimates for singular integrals with non-smooth kernels on product spaces

The main aim of this article is to establish boundedness of singular integrals with non-smooth kernels on product spaces. Let $L_1$ and $L_2$ be non-negative self-adjoint operators on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^{n_1})$ and $L^2(\mathbb{R}^{n_2})$, respectively, whose heat kernels satisfy Gaussian upper bounds. First, we obtain an atomic decomposition for functions in $H^1_{L_1,L_2}(\mathbb{R}^{n_1}\times\mathbb{R}^{n_2})$ where the Hardy space $H^1_{L_1,L_2}(\mathbb{R}^{n_1}\times\mathbb{R}^{n_2})$ associated with $L_1$ and $L_2$ is defined by square function norms, then prove an interpolation property for this space. Next, we establish sufficient conditions for certain singular integral operators to be bounded on the Hardy space $H^1_{L_1,L_2}(\mathbb{R}^{n_1}\times\mathbb{R}^{n_2})$ when the associated kernels of these singular integrals only satisfy regularity conditions significantly weaker than those of the standard Calderón--Zygmund kernels. As applications, we obtain endpoint estimates of the double Riesz transforms associated to Schrdingier operators and a Marcinkiewicz-type spectral multiplier theorem for non-negative self-adjoint operators on product spaces.

A maximal function characterization for Hardy spaces associated to nonnegative self-adjoint operators satisfying Gaussian estimates

Let $L$ be a nonnegative, self-adjoint operator satisfying Gaussian estimates on $L^2(\RR^n)$. In this article we give an atomic decomposition for the Hardy spaces $ H^p_{L,max}(\R)$ in terms of the nontangential maximal functions associated with the heat semigroup of $L$, and this leads eventually to characterizations of Hardy spaces associated to $L$, via atomic decomposition or the nontangential maximal functions. The proofs are based on a modification of technique due to A. Calderón \cite{C}.

Spectral multipliers, Bochner-Riesz means and uniform Sobolev inequalities for elliptic operators

This paper comprises two parts. In the first, we study $L^p$ to $L^q$ bounds for spectral multipliers and Bochner-Riesz means with negative index in the general setting of abstract self-adjoint operators. In the second we obtain the uniform Sobolev estimates for constant coefficients higher order elliptic operators $P(D)-z$ and all $z\in {\mathbb C}\backslash [0, \infty)$, which give an extension of the second order results of Kenig-Ruiz-Sogge \cite{KRS}. Next we use perturbation techniques to prove the uniform Sobolev estimates for Schrödinger operators $P(D)+V$ with small integrable potentials $V$. Finally we deduce spectral multiplier estimates for all these operators, including sharp Bochner-Riesz summability results.

Demonstration of nonlinear-energy-spread compensation in relativistic electron bunches with corrugated structures

High quality electron beams with flat distributions in both energy and current are critical for many accelerator-based scientific facilities such as free-electron lasers and MeV ultrafast electron diffraction and microscopes. In this Letter we report on using corrugated structures to compensate for the beam nonlinear energy chirp imprinted by the curvature of the radio-frequency field, leading to a significant reduction in beam energy spread. By using a pair of corrugated structures with orthogonal orientations, we show that the quadrupole wake fields which otherwise increase beam emittance can be effectively canceled. This work also extends the applications of corrugated structures to the low beam charge (a few pC) and low beam energy (a few MeV) regime and may have a strong impact in many accelerator-based facilities.

On characterization of Poisson integrals of Schrodinger operators with BMO traces

Let L be a Schrodinger operator of the form L=-Δ+V acting on L^2(Rn) where the nonnegative potential V belongs to the reverse Holder class Bq for some q>= n. Let BMO_L(Rn) denote the BMO space on Rn associated to the Schrodinger operator L. In this article we will show that a function f in BMO_L(Rn) is the trace of the solution of L'u=-u_tt+Lu=0, u(x,0)= f(x), where u satisfies a Carleson condition. Conversely, this Carleson condition characterizes all the L-harmonic functions whose traces belong to the space BMO_L(Rn). This result extends the analogous characterization founded by Fabes, Johnson and Neri for the classical BMO space of John and Nirenberg.

The bilinear Bochner-Riesz problem

Motivated by the problem of spherical summability of products of Fourier series, we study the boundedness of the bilinear Bochner-Riesz multipliers $(1-|ξ|^2-|η|^2)^δ_+$ and we make some advances in this investigation. We obtain an optimal result concerning the boundedness of these means from $L^2\times L^2 $ into $L^1$ with minimal smoothness, i.e., any $δ>0$, and we obtain estimates for other pairs of spaces for larger values of $δ$. Our study is broad enough to encompass general bilinear multipliers $m(ξ,η)$ radial in $ξ$ and $η$ with minimal smoothness, measured in Sobolev space norms. Our results are based on a variety of techniques, that include Fourier series expansions, orthogonality, and bilinear restriction and extension theorems.

Sharp spectral multipliers for operators satisfying generalized Gaussian estimates

Let $L$ be a non-negative self adjoint operator acting on $L^2(X)$ where $X$ is a space of homogeneous type. Assume that $L$ generates a holomorphic semigroup $e^{-tL}$ whose kernels $p_t(x,y)$ satisfy generalized $m$-th order Gaussian estimates. In this article, we study singular and dyadically supported spectral multipliers for abstract self-adjoint operators. We show that in this setting sharp spectral multiplier results follow from Plancherel or Stein-Tomas type estimates. These results are applicable to spectral multipliers for large classes of operators including $m$-th order elliptic differential operators with constant coefficients, biharmonic operators with rough potentials and Laplace type operators acting on fractals.

Restriction estimates, sharp spectral multipliers and endpoint estimates for Bochner-Riesz means

We consider abstract non-negative self-adjoint operators on $L^2(X)$ which satisfy the finite speed propagation property for the corresponding wave equation. For such operators we introduce a restriction type condition which in the case of the standard Laplace operator is equivalent to $(p,2)$ restriction estimate of Stein and Tomas. Next we show that in the considered abstract setting our restriction type condition implies sharp spectral multipliers and endpoint estimates for the Bochner-Riesz summability. We also observe that this restriction estimate holds for operators satisfying dispersive or Strichartz estimates. We obtain new spectral multiplier results for several second order differential operators and recover some known results. Our examples include Schrödinger operators with inverse square potentials on $\RR^n$, the harmonic oscillator, elliptic operators on compact manifolds and Schrödinger operators on asymptotically conic manifolds.

Weighted $L^p$ estimates for the area integral associated to self-adjoint operators

This article is concerned with some weighted norm inequalities for the so-called horizontal (i.e. involving time derivatives) area integrals associated to a non-negative self-adjoint operator satisfying a pointwise Gaussian estimate for its heat kernel, as well as the corresponding vertical (i.e. involving space derivatives) area integrals associated to a non-negative self-adjoint operator satisfying in addition a pointwise upper bounds for the gradient of the heat kernel. As applications, we obtain sharp estimates for the operator norm of the area integrals on $L^p(\RN)$ as $p$ becomes large, and the growth of the $A_p$ constant on estimates of the area integrals on the weighted $L^p$ spaces.

Weighted norm inequalities, Gaussian bounds and sharp spectral multipliers

Let $L$ be a non-negative self adjoint operator acting on $L^2(X)$ where $X$ is a space of homogeneous type. Assume that $L$ generates a holomorphic semigroup $e^{-tL}$ whose kernels $p_t(x,y)$ have Gaussian upper bounds but possess no regularity in variables $x$ and $y$. In this article, we study weighted $L^p$-norm inequalities for spectral multipliers of $L$. We show sharp weighted Hörmander-type spectral multiplier theorems follow from Gaussian heat kernel bounds and appropriate $L^2$ estimates of the kernels of the spectral multipliers. These results are applicable to spectral multipliers for large classes of operators including Laplace operators acting on Lie groups of polynomial growth or irregular non-doubling domains of Euclidean spaces, elliptic operators on compact manifolds and Schrödinger operators with non-negative potentials on complete Riemannian manifolds.

Gradient Estimate on the Neumann Semigroup and Applications

We prove the following sharp upper bound for the gradient of the Neumann semigroup $P_t$ on a $d$-dimensional compact domain $\OO$ with boundary either $C^2$-smooth or convex: $$\|\nn P_t\|_{1\to \infty}\le \ff{c}{t^{(d+1)/2}},\ \ t>0,$$ where $c>0$ is a constant depending on the domain and $\|\cdot\|_{1\to\infty}$ is the operator norm from $L^1(\OO)$ to $L^\infty(\OO)$. This estimate implies a Gaussian type point-wise upper bound for the gradient of the Neumann heat kernel, which is applied to the study of the Hardy spaces, Riesz transforms, and regularity of solutions to the inhomogeneous Neumann problem on compact convex domains.

Comparison of the classical BMO with the BMO spaces associated with operators and applications

Let L be a generator of a semigroup satisfying the Gaussian upper bounds. In this paper, we study further a new BMO_L space associated with L which was introduced recently by Duong and Yan. We discuss applications of the new BMO_L spaces in the theory of singular integration such as BMO_L estimates and interpolation results for fractional powers, purely imaginary powers and spectral multipliers of self adjoint operators. We also demonstrate that the space BMO_L might coincide with or might be essentially different from the classical BMO space.
