Abstract

The purpose of this note is to establish further properties of the variable Lorentz spaces $\mathfrak{L}^{p(\cdot), q(\cdot)}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ introduced by L. Ephremidze, V. Kokilashvili and S. Samko, which will allow us to apply the theory of Hardy spaces associated with ball quasi-Banach function spaces, and so define the variable Hardy-Lorentz spaces associated with $\mathfrak{L}^{p(\cdot), q(\cdot)}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. Then, the finite and infinite atomic decompositions for these spaces will be deduced immediately. We also obtain the boundedness of singular integrals and fractional type operators in variable Hardy-Lorentz spaces, and provide a Fefferman-Stein vector-valued inequality for the fractional maximal operator on the $r$-convexification of variable Lorentz spaces.

A Riemann-Hilbert representation for Sobolev orthogonal polynomials

In this article we consider polynomials orthogonal with respect to the inner product $$\langle P,Q \rangle_S = \int_{\mathbb{R}}P(x)Q(x) \mathrm{e}^{-V(x)} \, \mathrm{d}x + \lambda\int_{\mathbb{R}}P^\prime(x)Q^\prime(x) \mathrm{e}^{-V(x)} \, \mathrm{d}x$$ where $V$ is a polynomial of even degree (at least four) and positive leading coefficient, and $\lambda>0$ a constant. The above inner product is a special case of the so-called Sobolev inner product. We show how one can represent the associated Sobolev orthogonal polynomials as a species of Type I multiple-orthogonal polynomial. This correspondence makes use of the WKB asymptotics of a certain second order ODE. From this we may write a Riemann--Hilbert problem for the Sobolev orthogonal polynomials, from which one can deduce a Christoffel--Darboux-type formula for the projection kernel.

Square function characterization of Hardy-type spaces

The well-known characterization of Hardy spaces $\mathrm{H}_{p}(\mathbb D)$, $0<p<\infty$, in terms of the Littlewood-Paley g-function $$ S f (\zeta) = \left(\int_0^1 |f'(r \zeta)|^2 (1 - r) \mathrm dr\right)^{1/2} \in \mathrm{L}_{p} $$ is generalized to Hardy-type spaces $X_A$ corresponding to quasi-Banach lattices $X$ on the unit circle $\mathbb T$ under the assumption that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator $M$ is bounded in $(X^\delta)'$ with some $\delta>0$. As an application to composition operators $C_\varphi$, we derive an exact criterion for the boundedness and compactness of $C_\varphi : \mathcal{B}^\omega \to X_A$, where $\mathcal{B}^\omega = \{f \mid \sup |f'|/\omega<\infty\}$ is the weighted Bloch space with a log-convex radial weight $\omega$, generalizing recent results in the one-dimensional setting.

Local Hardy Spaces Associated with Operators and Ball Quasi-Banach Function Spaces on Doubling Metric Measure Spaces and Their Applications

Let $(\mathcal{X},d,\mu)$ be a doubling metric measure space, $X$ a ball quasi-Banach function space on $\mathcal{X}$, and $L$ a non-negative self-adjoint operator on $L^2(\mathcal{X})$ whose heat kernel satisfies a Gaussian upper bound. In this article, we study the local Hardy space $h_{X,L}(\mathcal{X})$ associated with both $X$ and $L$. We first establish the atomic and molecular characterizations of $h_{X,L}(\mathcal{X})$. As applications of these characterizations, we obtain the relations between $h_{X,L}(\mathcal{X})$ and the global Hardy spaces $H_{X,L}(\mathcal{X})$ and $H_{X,L+mI}(\mathcal{X})$. We also establish the radial and non-tangential maximal function characterizations of $h_{X,L}(\mathcal{X})$. Using these maximal function characterizations, under the additional assumptions that the heat kernel satisfies the conservation property and a H\"older regularity estimate, we further show that $h_{X,L}(\mathcal{X})$ coincides with the local atomic Hardy space $h_{X,\mathrm{at}}^p(\mathcal{X})$ with equivalent quasi-norms in the corresponding range of indices. Finally, we apply the above results to Lebesgue spaces, Orlicz spaces, weighted Lebesgue spaces, and variable Lebesgue spaces.

Fourier inequalities in variable Lebesgue spaces

We study the boundedness of the Fourier transform on variable Lebesgue spaces. We obtain necessary conditions and, independently, sufficient conditions on the exponents $p(\cdot)$ and $q(\cdot)$ under which the inequality $$\|\hat{f}\|_{q(\cdot)}\leq C\|f\|_{p(\cdot)}$$ holds for some constant $C>0$ and all $f\in L^{p(\cdot)}(\mathbb{R})$. As a byproduct, we improve some recent results of Saucedo and Tikhonov. Moreover, when $p(x)\to 1$ and $q(x)\to +\infty$ as $|x|\to +\infty$, we characterize the exponents for which the Fourier transform is bounded.

Weak-type characterizations of Sobolev and bounded variation spaces on metric measure spaces

Given a complete doubling metric measure space $(X,\rho,\mu)$ supporting a Poincar\'e inequality, we prove weak-type characterizations of the Sobolev space $\dot{W}^{1,p}(\mu)$ and the space of functions of bounded variation, achieving a full analogy in general Poincar\'e spaces with the Euclidean results of Brezis et al. [Anal. PDE 17 (2024), 943-979]. The main novelty is that the finiteness of a weak-type norm, which only refers to differences or mean oscillations of $f$ without assuming any smoothness a priori, already guarantees the membership of $f$ in the relevant Sobolev or BV space. This distinguishes our contribution from the recent work of F. Dai et al. [Adv. Math. 502 (2026), Paper No. 111153], where the related norm-equivalence was obtained under the a priori Lipschitz assumption on $f$. A key intermediate step in our approach is a new localized Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu type characterization. More precisely, we prove that, if $p\in(1,\infty)$ and $\gamma\in\mathbb R\setminus\{0\}$, then, for any $f\in L^1_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mu)$, \begin{equation*}\tag{$*$} \|f\|_{\dot W^{1,p}(\mu)} \sim \|\rho^{-1}\phi^{-\gamma}F\|_{L^{p,\infty}(\phi^{\gamma p}V^{-1})}, \qquad F\in\{\Delta f,m_f\},\quad \phi\in\{\rho,V\}, \end{equation*} where the homogeneous Sobolev space $\dot{W}^{1,p}(\mu)$ is defined by the minimal $p$-weak upper gradient and, for any $x,y\in X$, we denote $V(x,y):=\mu(B(x,\rho(x,y)))$ and $\Delta f(x,y):=|f(x) - f(y)|$, and $m_f(x,y)$ is the mean oscillation of $f$ on the ball $B(x,\rho(x,y))$. For $p=1$, the equivalence $(*)$ holds after replacing $\|f\|_{\dot W^{1,1}(\mu)}$ by a bounded variation norm and restricting the parameters to the optimal ranges $\gamma\in(-\infty,-1)\cup(0,\infty)$ for $\phi=\rho$ or $\gamma\in (-\infty,-\frac1d)\cup(0,\infty)$ for $\phi=V$, where $d\in(0,\infty)$ is the lower dimension of $X$.

Fredholm multiplication operators on Banach spaces of analytic functions on the open unit disk

We identify properties of a Banach space $\mathcal{B}$ of analytic functions on the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ in the complex plane ensuring that a multiplication operator $M_\psi: \mathcal{B} \to\mathcal{B}$ is Fredholm if and only if its symbol $\psi$ is bounded away from $0$ near $\partial \mathbb{D}$. The properties we identify are shared by a wide variety of much-studied spaces, including the Hardy spaces $H^p(\mathbb{D})$, weighted Bergman spaces $A^p_\omega(\mathbb{D})$, Hardy-Sobolev spaces $H^2_\beta(\mathbb{D})$, the spaces $S_j^p(\mathbb{D})$ of functions having $j$-th derivative in $H^p(\mathbb{D})$, and the disk algebra $A$. Thus, as a corollary, our work characterizes Fredholm multiplication operators on these spaces. In addition, we describe the closed, finite-codimensional subspaces of $\mathcal{B}$ that are invariant under $M_z: \mathcal{B} \to \mathcal{B}$ in terms of the zeros that the functions in such subspaces have in common. We discuss connections between these subspaces and the problem of characterizing the Fredholm multiplication operators on $\mathcal{B}$, and we prove that $M_z$ restricted to such a subspace is always cyclic, with a polynomial cyclic vector having degree equal to the codimension of the subspace.
