Hardy spaces on compact Lie groups (Q1383414)

The authors study the Hardy space \(H^p(G)\) of a connected semisimple compact Lie group \(G\). They first characterize this space for \(0< p\leq 1\) by maximal functions based on Poisson kernel, using elaborate estimations of kernels. Next, they treat the atomic characterization of \(H^p(G)\). They define \(p\)-atoms \((0< p\leq 1)\) in \(L^q(G)\) \((1\leq q\leq\infty)\) by support, size and cancellation properties, and prove that any distribution in \(H^p(U(n))\) has an atomic decomposition. The existence of a faithful finite-dimensional unitary representation then allows them to transfer the result to \(G\). They also characterize \(H^p(G)\) by maximal functions based on heat kernel for \(0< p\leq 1\), by the maximal Bochner-Riesz operator \(S^\delta_*\) for \(\delta> n/p-(n+ 1)/2\) \((n= \dim_{\mathbb{R}}G)\) and, for \(p= 1\), by certain nonsmooth kernels satisfying a Dini condition. Throughout the paper, the analysis previously undertaken by \textit{M. Cowling}, \textit{A. M. Mantero} and \textit{F. Ricci} [Rend. Circ. Mat. Palermo, II. Ser. 31, 145-158 (1982; Zbl 0492.43006)] and by \textit{J. L. Clerc} [Lect. Notes Math. 1243, 86-107 (1987; Zbl 0625.43003)] turns out to be influential.
