Riesz transforms associated to Schrödinger operators on weighted Hardy spaces (Q990156): Difference between revisions

Given a non-negative \(V\in L^1_{\text{loc}}({\mathbb R}^n)\), let \(L=-\Delta+V\) be a Schrödinger operator on \({\mathbb R}^n\). Let \(w\in A_p\) on \({\mathbb R}^n\) for some \(1\leq p<\infty\). Namely, let \(w\) be a weight on \({\mathbb R}^n\) satisfying Muckenhoupt's \(A_p\) condition for some \(1\leq p<\infty\). Also, let \(L^p_w({\mathbb R}^n)\) be the Lebesgue space weighted by \(w\). The authors introduce the weighted Hardy space \(H^1_{L, w}({\mathbb R}^n)\) associated to \(L\) as the completion of the unweighted Hardy space \(H^2({\mathbb R}^n)\) in the norm given by the \(L^1_w\)-norm of the square function associated to the heat semigroup generated by the operator \(L\). These spaces generalize the classical weighted Hardy space \(H^1_w({\mathbb R}^n)\). For example, \(H^1_w({\mathbb R}^n)\) coincides with the space \(H^1_{\Delta, w}({\mathbb R}^n)\) with equivalent norms. Given \(1<q\leq \infty\), let \(RH_q\) be the class of all weights satisfying the reverse Hölder property of order \(q\). The main results of this paper is the following: Let \(1\leq p<2\) and assume \(w\in A_p\cap RH_{(2/p)'}\) where \((2/p)'\) denotes the conjugate index of \(2/p\). Then (i) For \(1<p<2\), the operator \(\nabla L^{-1/2}\) is bounded from \(L^p_w({\mathbb R}^n)\) to \(L^p_w({\mathbb R}^n)\); and (ii) For \(p=1\), the operator \(\nabla L^{-1/2}\) is bounded from \(H^1_{L,w}({\mathbb R}^n)\) to \(H^1_w({\mathbb R}^n)\). In the course of the proofs, the authors establish the atomic decomposition for the spaces \(H^1_{L, w}({\mathbb R}^n)\) (in fact for a more general class of operators \(L\)) and a new atomic (or molecular) decomposition for the space \(H^1_w({\mathbb R}^n)\).
