When $L$ is the Hermite or the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator, we find minimal integrability and smoothness conditions on a function $f$ so that the fractional power $L^σf(x_0)$ is well-defined at a given point $x_0$. We illustrate the optimality of the conditions with various examples. Finally, we obtain similar results for the fractional operators $(-Δ+R)^σ$, with $R>0$.
We consider Lorentz-Karamata spaces, small and grand Lorentz-Karamata spaces, and the so-called $\mathcal{L}$, $\mathcal{R}$, $\mathcal{LL}$, $\mathcal{RL}$, $\mathcal{RL}$, and $\mathcal{RR}$ spaces. The quasi-norms for a function $f$ in each of these spaces can be defined via the non-increasing rearrangement $f^*$ or via the maximal function $f^{**}$. We investigate when these quasi-norms are equivalent. Most of the proofs are based on Hardy-type inequalities. As application we demonstrate how our general results can be used to establish interpolation formulae for the grand and small Lorentz-Karamata spaces.
We find optimal decay estimates for the Poisson kernels associated with various Laguerre-type operators L. From these, we solve two problems about the Poisson semigroup $e^{-t\sqrt{L}}$. First, we find the largest space of initial data $f$ so that $e^{-t\sqrt{L}}f(x)\to f(x)$ at a.e. $x$. Secondly, we characterize the largest class of weights $w$ which admit 2-weight inequalities of the form $\|\sup_{0<t\leq t_0}|e^{-t\sqrt{L}}f|\,\|_{L^p(v)}\lesssim \|f\|_{L^p(w)}$, for some other weight $v$.
