Regularizations of general singular integral operators (Q1941167)

Let Radon measures \(\mu\) and \(\nu\) in \(\mathbb{R}^N\) be fixed. A singular kernel in \(\mathbb{R}^N\) is defined by a \(\mu \times \nu\)-measurable function \(K\) on \(\mathbb{R}^N \times \mathbb{R}^N\), which is locally \(L^2(\mu \times \nu)\) off the diagonal \(\{(s,t) \in \mathbb{R}^N \times \mathbb{R}^N : s = t\}\). For a singular kernel \(K\) in \(\mathbb{R}^N\) (with respect to Radon measures \(\mu\) and \(\nu\)) the authors define a restricted bilinear form by \[ <Tf, g> = \int K(s,t) \, f(t)g(s) \, d\mu(t) \, d\nu(s) \] for all Borel measurable bounded functions \(f\) and \(g\) with separated compact supports. They prove that the uniform estimate (the so called restricted \(L^p\)-boundedness) \[ |<Tf, g>| = \big| \int K(s,t) \, f(t)g(s) \, d\mu(t) \, d\nu(s) \big|\leq \;C \, \|f\|_{L^p(\mu)}\|g\|_{L^{p'}(\nu)}, \quad 1/p + 1/p' = 1 \] for bounded \(f\) and \(g\) with separated compact supports implies the uniform \(L^p\)-boundedness of truncated operators \(T_{\epsilon}\) for any suitable choice of smooth cut-off function, where \[ T_{\epsilon}f(s) = \int_{|s-t| > \epsilon} K(s,t) \, f(t) \, d\mu(t) \] for compactly supported \(f\). Moreover, they show that under some additional assumption the restricted \(L^p\)-boundedness implies a two weight Muckenhoupt condition.
