10 Two-sided Metric Space Carleson
We prove a variant of Theorem 1.0.2 for a two-sided Calderón–Zygmund kernel on the doubling metric measure space \((X,\rho ,\mu ,a)\), i.e. a one-sided Calderón–Zygmund kernel \(K\) which additionally satisfies for all \(x,x',y\in X\) with \(x\neq y\) and \(2\rho (x,x') \leq \rho (x,y)\),
By the additional regularity, we can weaken the assumption 1.0.18 to a family of operators that is easier to work with in applications. Namely, for \(r {\gt} 0\), \(x\in X\), and a bounded, measurable function \(f:X\to {\mathbb {C}}\) supported on a set of finite measure, we define
For all integers \(a \ge 4\) and real numbers \(1{\lt}q\le 2\) the following holds. Let \((X,\rho ,\mu ,a)\) be a doubling metric measure space. Let \({\Theta }\) be a cancellative compatible collection of functions and let \(K\) be a two-sided Calderón–Zygmund kernel on \((X,\rho ,\mu ,a)\). Assume that for every bounded measurable function \(g\) on \(X\) supported on a set of finite measure and all \(r{\gt}0\) we have
Then for all Borel sets \(F\) and \(G\) in \(X\) and all Borel functions \(f:X\to {\mathbb {C}}\) with \(|f|\le \mathbf{1}_F\), we have, with \(T\) defined in 1.0.17,
For the remainder of this chapter, fix an integer \(a\ge 4\), a doubling metric measure space \((X,\rho ,\mu ,a)\) and a two-sided Calderón–Zygmund kernel \(K\) as in Theorem 10.0.1.
The following lemma is proved in Section 10.1.
Assume 10.0.3 holds. Then, for every bounded measurable function \(g : X \to {\mathbb {C}}\) supported on a set of finite measure we have
Let \(1{\lt}q\le 2\) be a real number. Let \(\Theta \) be a cancellative compatible collection of functions. By the assumption 10.0.3, we can apply Lemma 10.0.2 to obtain for every bounded measurable \(g:X\to {\mathbb {C}}\) supported on a set of finite measure,
Define
Then \(K'\) is a two-sided Calderón–Zygmund kernel on \((X,\rho ,\mu ,a)\). Denote the corresponding maximally truncated non-tangential singular operator by \(T_*'\) and the corresponding generalized Carleson operator by \(T'\). With 10.0.6, we obtain for \(g\) as above,
Applying Theorem 1.0.2 for \(K'\) yields that for all Borel sets \(F\) and \(G\) in \(X\) and all Borel functions \(f:X\to {\mathbb {C}}\) with \(|f|\le \mathbf{1}_F\), we have
This finishes the proof since for all \(x\in X\),
The proof of Lemma 10.0.2 relies on the following auxiliary lemma which is proved in Section 10.2.
Let \(f:X\to {\mathbb {C}}\) be a bounded measurable function supported on a set of finite measure and assume for some \(r{\gt}0\) that for every bounded measurable function \(g:X\to {\mathbb {C}}\) supported on a set of finite measure,
Then for all \(\alpha {\gt}0\), we have
Throughout ??, for any measurable bounded function \(w: X \to {\mathbb {C}}\), let \(Mw: X \to [0, \infty )\) denote the corresponding Hardy–Littlewood maximal function defined in Proposition 2.0.6. Apart from Proposition 2.0.6, ?? have no dependencies in the previous chapters.
10.1 Proof of Cotlar’s Inequality
For all real numbers \(x\ge 4\),
By convexity, for all \(0\le \lambda \le 1\)
For \(\lambda :=\frac{4}{x}\), we obtain
We conclude
Let \(0{\lt}r\) and \(x\in X\). Let \(g:X\to {\mathbb {C}}\) be a bounded measurable function supported on a set of finite measure. Then for all \(x'\) with \(\rho (x,x')\le r\).
By definition,
We split the first integral in 10.1.1 into the domains \(r\le \rho (x,y){\lt}2r\) and \(2r\le \rho (x,y)\). The integral over the first domain we estimate by \(\eqref{firstxx'}\) below. For the second domain, we observe with \(\rho (x,x')\le r\) and the triangle inequality that \(r\le \rho (x',y)\). We therefore combine on this domain with the corresponding part of the second integral in 10.1.1 and estimate that by \(\eqref{secondxx'}\) below. The remaining part of the second integral in 10.1.1 we estimate by \(\eqref{thirdxx'}\). Overall, we have estimated 10.1.1 by
Using the bound on \(K\) in 1.0.14 and the doubling condition 1.0.5, we estimate 10.1.2 by
Using the definition of \(Mg\), we estimate 10.1.6 by
Similarly, in the domain of 10.1.4 we note by the triangle inequality and assumption on \(x'\) that \(\rho (x',y){\lt}3r\) and thus we estimate 10.1.4 by
We turn to the remaining term. Using 10.0.1, we estimate 10.1.3 by
We decompose and estimate 10.1.3 with the triangle inequality by
Using Lemma 10.1.1, we estimate 10.1.13 by
Summing the estimates for 10.1.2, 10.1.3, and 10.1.4 proves the lemma.
Let \(0{\lt}r\le R\) and \(x\in X\). Let \(g:X\to {\mathbb {C}}\) be a bounded measurable function supported on a set of finite measure. Then for all \(x'\in X\) with \(\rho (x,x')\le \frac{R}{4}\) we have
Let \(x\) and \(x'\) be given with \(\rho (x,x')\le \frac{R}{4}\). By an application of Lemma 10.1.2, we estimate the left-hand-side of 10.1.15 by
We have
On the domain \(R\le \rho (x',y)\), we have \(\frac{R}2\le \rho (x,y)\). Hence we may write for 10.1.17
Combining the estimate 10.1.16 with the identification 10.1.18, we obtain
We have
As \(\frac{R}{2}\le \rho (x,y)\) together with \(\rho (x,x')\le \frac{R}{4}\) implies \(\frac{R}{4}\le \rho (x',y)\), we can estimate the absolute value of 10.1.20 with 1.0.14 by
By the triangle inequality, 10.1.15 follows now from 10.1.19 and the estimate for 10.1.20.
Assume that 10.0.3 holds. Let \(0{\lt}r\le R\) and \(x\in X\). Let \(g:X\to {\mathbb {C}}\) be a bounded measurable function supported on a set of finite measure. Then the measure \(|F_1|\) of the set \(F_1\) of all \(x'\in B(x,\frac{R}4)\) such that
is less than or equal to \(\mu (B(x,\frac{R}{4}))/4\). Moreover, the measure \(|F_2|\) of the set \(F_2\) of all \(x'\in B(x,\frac{R}4)\) such that
is less than or equal to \(\mu (B(x,\frac{R}{4}))/4\).
Let \(r\), \(R\), \(x\) and \(g\) be given. If \(M(T_rg)(x)=0\), then \(T_rg\) is zero almost everywhere and the estimate on \(|F_1|\) is trivial. Assume \(M(T_rg)(x){\gt}0\). We have with 10.1.21
Dividing by \(M(T_rg)(x)\) gives
This gives the desired bound for the measure of \(F_1\). We turn to the set \(F_2\). Similarly as above we may assume \(Mg(x){\gt}0\). The set \(F_2\) is then estimated with Lemma 10.0.3 by
This gives the desired bound for the measure of \(F_2\).
Assume that 10.0.3 holds. Let \(0{\lt}r\le R\) and \(x\in X\). Let \(g:X\to {\mathbb {C}}\) be a bounded measurable function supported on a set of finite measure. Then
By Lemma 10.1.4, the set of all \(x'\in B(x,\frac{R}4)\) such that at least one of the conditions 10.1.21 and 10.1.22 is satisfied has measure less than or equal to \(\mu (B(x,\frac{R}{4}))/2\) and hence is not all of \(B(x,\frac{R}4)\). Pick an \(x'\in B(x,\frac{R}4)\) such that both conditions are not satisfied. Applying Lemma 10.1.3 for this \(x'\) and using the triangle inequality estimates the left-hand side of 10.1.28 by
This proves the lemma.
Assume that 10.0.3 holds. For every \(r{\gt}0\) and every bounded measurable function \(g\) supported on a set of finite measure we have
where
With Lemma 10.1.2 and the triangle inequality, we estimate for every \(x\in X\)
Using further Lemma 10.1.5, we estimate
Taking the \(L^2\) norm and using Proposition 2.0.6 with \(a=4\) and \(p_2=2\) and \(p_1=1\) , we obtain
Applying 10.0.3 gives
This shows 10.1.30 and completes the proof of the lemma.
In order to pass from the one-sided truncation in \(T_r\) and \(T_{*}^r\) to the two-sided truncation in \(T_*\), we show in the following two lemmas that the integral in 1.0.16 can be exchanged for an integral over the difference of two balls.
Let \(f:X\to {\mathbb {C}}\) be a bounded measurable function supported on a set of finite measure. Let \(x\in X\) and \(R{\gt}0\). Then, for all \(\epsilon {\gt}0\), there exists some \(\delta {\gt}0\) such that
and
We only prove the second inquality, the first one is analogous. Note that the integrand is bounded in \(X\setminus B(x,\frac{R}{2})\). So for \(0{\lt}\delta \le \frac{R}{2}\),
By continuity from above of \(\mu \), the right factor becomes arbitrarily small as \(\delta \rightarrow 0\). Thus, for small enough \(\delta \), the whole expression is \(\le \epsilon \).
Let \(f:X\to {\mathbb {C}}\) be a bounded measurable function supported on a set of finite measure. For all \(x\in X\),
We show two inequalities. Let \(\epsilon {\gt}0\). Let \(R_1{\lt}R_2\) and \(x'\in B(x,R_1)\). Then for small enough \(\delta {\gt}0\),
By Lemma 10.1.7, we can choose \(\delta \) such that 10.1.41 is bounded by \(\epsilon \). Without loss of generality, we can assume \(R_1+\delta {\lt}R_2\). Then 10.1.42 is bounded by the right hand side of 10.1.39 and we obtain
The inequality still holds when taking the suprema over \(R_1{\lt}R_2\) and \(\rho (x,x'){\lt}R_1\) in 10.1.40. Since \(\epsilon {\gt}0\) was arbitrary, this proves the first inequality.
The other direction is similar. Let \(\epsilon {\gt}0\). Let \(R_1{\lt}R_2\) and \(x'\in B(x,R_1)\). Then for \(\delta {\gt}0\),
By Lemma 10.1.7, we can choose \(\delta \) such that 10.1.44 is bounded by \(\epsilon \). Without loss of generality, we can assume \(\rho (x,x'){\lt}R_1-\delta \). Then 10.1.45 is bounded by the left hand side of 10.1.39 and we obtain
The inequality still holds when taking the suprema over \(R_1{\lt}R_2\) and \(\rho (x,x'){\lt}R_1\) in 10.1.40. Since \(\epsilon {\gt}0\) was arbitrary, this proves the second inequality.
Fix \(g\) as in the Lemma. Applying Lemma 10.1.6 with a sequence of \(r\) tending to \(0\) and using Lebesgue monotone convergence shows
where
We now write using Lemma 10.1.8 and the triangle inequality,
Noting that the first integral does not depend on \(R_2\) and estimating the second summand by the larger supremum over all \(x'\in B(x,R_2)\), at which time the integral does not depend on \(R_1\), we estimate further
Applying the triangle inequality on the left-hand side of 10.0.5 and applying 10.1.46 twice proves 10.0.5. This completes the proof of Lemma 10.0.2.
10.2 Calderón-Zygmund Decomposition
Calderón-Zygmund decomposition is a tool to extend \(L^2\) bounds to \(L^p\) bounds with \(p{\lt}2\) or to the so-called weak \((1, 1)\) type endpoint bound. It is classical and can be found in [ .
The following lemma is Theorem 3.1(b) in [ . The proof uses Proposition 2.0.6.
Let \(f: X \to {\mathbb {C}}\) be bounded, measurable, supported on a set of finite measure, and let \(\alpha {\gt} 0\). Then
By definition, for each \(x\in X\) with \(Mf(x) {\gt} \alpha \), there exists a ball \(B_x\) such that \(x\in B_x\) and
Since \(\{ x\in X : Mf(x) {\gt} \alpha \} \) is open and \(\mu \) is inner regular on open sets, it suffices to show that
for every compact \(E\subset \{ x\in X : Mf(x) {\gt} \alpha \} \). For such an \(E\), by compactness, we can select a finite subcollection \(\mathcal{B} \subset \{ B_x: x\in E\} \) that covers \(E\). By 2.0.43 applied to 10.2.2,
and hence
Let \(f\) be a bounded measurable function supported on a set of finite measure. Then for \(\mu \) almost every \(x\), we have
where \(\{ B_n\} _{n\geq 1}\) is a sequence of balls with radii \(r_n{\gt}0\) such that \(x\in B_n\) for each \(n\geq 1\) and
This follows from the Lebesgue differentiation theorem, which is already formalized in Lean.
In a doubling metric measure space \((X,\rho ,\mu , a)\), every disjoint family of balls \(B_j = B(x_j, r_j)\), \(j\in J\), is countable.
Choose an arbitrary \(x\in X\) as reference point. For \(q, Q\in {\mathbb {Q}}_+\), let \(J_{q,Q}\) denote the set of all \(j\in J\) such that \(B_j\subset B(x, Q)\) and \(r_j \ge q\). It suffices to show that all the \(J_{q,Q}\) are finite. Indeed, for all \(j\in J_{q,Q}\),
Since the \(B_j\) are disjoint,
and hence \(|J_{q,Q}| \le 2^{a\log _2{\lceil \frac{2Q}{q}\rceil }}\).
The following lemma corresponds to Lemma 3.2 in [ with additional proof of the bounded intersection property taken from the proof of Proposition 7.1 .
Given an open set \(O\ne X\), there exists a countable family of balls \(B_j = B(x_j, r_j)\) such that
and for \(B_j^* := B(x_j, 3r_j)\),
and for \(B_j^{**} := B(x_j, 7r_j)\),
and we have the bounded intersection property that each \(x\in O\) is contained in at most \(2^{6a}\) of the \(B_j^*\).
Define for \(x\in O\),
Since \(O\) is open, and \(O\ne X\), we have
Using Zorn’s Lemma, we select a maximal disjoint subfamily of \(\{ B(x,\frac{\delta (x)}{6}) : x \in O\} \). We obtain a (by Lemma 10.2.3 countable) family of balls \(B_j = B(x_j, \frac{\delta (x_j)}{6}), j \in J\) such that 10.2.5. 10.2.7 and \(\bigcup _j B_j^* \subset O\) are also immediate. For the other inclusion, first observe that for \(x,y\in X\), if \(B(x,\frac{\delta (x)}{6}) \cap B(y,\frac{\delta (y)}{6}) \ne \emptyset \), then
so
Now let \(z\in X\). By maximality, there exists some \(j\in J\) with \(B(z,\frac{\delta (z)}{6}) \cap B_j \ne \emptyset \). By 10.2.10,
and thus \(z\in B_j^*\).
We now turn to the bounded intersection property. Assume that for some \(j_1,\dots ,j_N\),
Similarly as above, observe for \(1\le k \le N\),
and
so
By 10.2.12 and 10.2.13, for all \(1\le k \le N\), \(B(z,\frac{\delta (z)}{6}) \subset B(x_{j_k}, 5r_{j_k})\) and \(B_{j_k} \subset B(z,\frac{8\delta (z)}{6})\). Using this and 10.2.5, we obtain
and conclude \(N\le 2^{6a}\).
Most of the next lemma and its proof is taken from Theorem 4.2 in [ .
Let \(f\) be a bounded, measurable function supported on a set of finite measure and let \(\alpha {\gt}\frac{1}{\mu (X)}\int |f|\, d\mu \). Then there exists a measurable function \(g\), a countable family of balls \(B_j^*\) (where we allow \(B_1^* = X\) in the special case that \(\mu (X){\lt}\infty \)) such that each \(x\in X\) is contained in at most \(2^{6a}\) of the \(B_j^*\), and a countable family of measurable functions \(\{ b_j\} _{j\in J}\) such that for all \(x \in X\)
and such that the following holds. For almost every \(x\in X\),
We have
For every \(j\)
For every \(j\)
and
We have
and
Let \(E_\alpha :=\{ x\in X: Mf(x){\gt}\alpha \} \). Then \(E_\alpha \) is open. Assume first that \(E_\alpha \ne X\). We apply Lemma 10.2.4 with \(O=E_\alpha \) to obtain the family \(B_j, j\in J,\). Without loss of generality, we can assume \(J={\mathbb {N}}\). Define inductively
Then \(B_j\subset Q_j\subset B_j^*\), the \(Q_j\) are pairwise disjoint and \(\bigcup _j Q_j = E_\alpha \). Define
and, for each \(j\),
Then 10.2.16, 10.2.19 and 10.2.20 are true by construction. For 10.2.17, we first do the case \(x\in X\setminus E_\alpha \). By definition of \(Mf\),
for every ball \(B\subset X\) with \(x\in B\). It follows by Lemma 10.2.2 that for almost every \(x\in X\setminus E_\alpha \), \(|f(x)|\le \alpha \). In the case \(x\in E_\alpha \), there exists some \(j\in J\) with \(x\in Q_j\) and we have that
because \(B_j^{**}\cap (X\setminus E_\alpha ) \ne \emptyset \). We get
To prove 10.2.18, we estimate
Using the triangle inequality, we have that
With 10.2.30, we estimate further
to obtain 10.2.21. Further, summing up 10.2.32 in \(j\) yields 10.2.23. At last, we estimate with Lemma 10.2.1
proving 10.2.22.
Assume now that \(E_\alpha = X\). It follows from Lemma 10.2.1 that then \(\mu (X){\lt}\infty \). Define
and
Then \(f = g + b_1\) and \(\operatorname{\operatorname {supp}}b_1 \subset B_1^*:=X\) and 10.2.16, 10.2.18, 10.2.19, 10.2.20 all hold immediately. By assumption, \(\alpha {\gt}\frac{1}{\mu (X)}\int |f|\, d\mu = g\), so 10.2.17 holds. We also have, using the definitions and the same assumption,
which verifies both 10.2.23 and 10.2.21. Finally, by Lemma 10.2.1,
which shows 10.2.22.
We use Lemma 10.2.5 to prove Lemma 10.0.3. For the remainder of this section, let \(f:X\to {\mathbb {C}}\), \(r{\gt}0\) and \(\alpha {\gt}0\) as in the lemma. We define the constant
and \(\alpha ' := c\alpha \). If \(\alpha '\le \frac{1}{\mu (X)}\int |f|\, d\mu \), then we directly have
which proves 10.0.9. So assume from now on that \(\alpha '{\gt}\frac{1}{\mu (X)}\int |f|\, d\mu \). Using Lemma 10.2.5 for \(f\) and \(\alpha '\), we obtain the decomposition
such that the properties 10.2.16-10.2.23 are satisfied (with \(\alpha '\) replacing \(\alpha \)). We rename \(B_j^*\) to \(B_j\) and let
Define
(In the special case \(B_j=X\), we define \(B_j':=X\).) Then \(B_j'\) is a ball with the same center as \(B_j\) but with
Let
We deal with \(T_rg\) and \(T_rb\) separately in the following lemmas.
We estimate using monotonicity of the integral
Using 10.0.8 followed by 10.2.17 and 10.2.18, we estimate the right hand side above by
Let \(x\in X\setminus \Omega \). Then
where
We decompose the index set \(J\) into the following disjoint sets:
Then
For all \(j\in \mathcal{J}_3(x)\), \(\operatorname{\operatorname {supp}}b_j\subset B_j\subset B(x,r)\), and thus \(T_rb_j(x)=0\), so \(\eqref{eq-b-dec-3} = 0\).
Next, for \(j\in \mathcal{J}_1(x)\), \(\operatorname{\operatorname {supp}}b_j\subset B_j\subset X \setminus B(x,r)\), and we have
Using 10.2.20, the above is equal to
Since \(x\in X\setminus \Omega \), we have for each \(y\in B_j\) that
so we can apply 1.0.15 to estimate
and by 10.2.21,
Next, we estimate 10.2.44. For each \(j\in \mathcal{J}_2(x)\), set
Then by 10.2.21
For each \(j\in \mathcal{J}_2(x)\), we have
Thus, using the triangle inequality, the equation above and 10.2.49, we obtain
By 10.2.46, we can apply 1.0.15 and arguing as in 10.2.48, we get that
with \(F\) as in 10.2.48. Define
We claim that
Indeed, for each \(j\in \mathcal{J}_2(x)\) and \(y\in B_j\), using again 10.2.46,
and hence
For the lower bound, we observe
and conclude
Using the bounded intersection property of the \(B_j\), 10.2.52 and 1.0.14, we get
Combining the estimates 10.2.48 for 10.2.43, 10.2.51 for 10.2.44, and 10.2.58, we get
By the definition 10.2.37 of \(c\), this equals
For \(F\) as defined in Lemma 10.2.7, we have
We estimate
Using
we have for all \(j\in J\),
where we used Lemma 10.1.1 in the last step. Plugging this into 10.2.62 and using 10.2.22, we conclude that
We have
We estimate
Using 10.2.40 and 10.2.22, we conclude that
It follows from Lemma 10.2.7 and the triangle inequality that
It follows by the triangle inequality and subadditivity of \(\mu \) that
Using Lemma 10.2.6, Lemma 10.2.9 and the definition 10.2.37 of \(c\), we get
This proves 10.0.9.
