On the product of functions in BMO and H\(^1\) (Q2461172)

The paper deals with the pointwise product of elements in BMO and \(H^1\) in different settings. First the authors give sense as a Schwartz distribution to this product in view of the duality \(H^1\) and BMO. Their main result establishes that this product can be decomposed as the sum of an integrable function and a distribution in some adapted Hardy-Orlicz space. They present different proofs of such a result using either div-Curl atoms or classical atomic decomposition of the Hardy space \(H^1\). Their ``div-curl method'' does not work in dimension one, and they analyze the situation using first analytic functions on the unit disk and discover a nice factorization result \(H^1({\mathbb D}) \text{BMO} ({\mathbb D})= H^{\mathcal P}({\mathbb D})\) where \(H^{\mathcal P}({\mathbb D})\) stands for the space of analytic functions such that \(\sup_{0<r<1} \int_0^{2\pi}\frac{| F(re^{it}| }{\log(e+| F(re^{it}| )} dt<\infty\).
