Weak and strong type estimates for the multilinear pseudo-differential operators (Q2302165)

This paper is devoted to the investigation of the boundedness of multilinear pseudodifferential operators as \[ T_{\sigma}(\vec{f})(x) = \int_{(\mathbb{R}^n)^m} e^{2\pi i x\cdot (\xi_1 +\ldots + \xi_m)} \sigma(x,\vec{\xi}) \widehat{f_1}(\xi_1)\cdots \widehat{f_m}(\xi_m) \,d\vec{\xi}, \] with symbols \(\sigma\) in suitable (multilinear versions of) Hörmander classes and, for locally integrable functions \(\mathbf{b}=(b_1,\ldots,b_m)\), of the commutators \[ T_{\sigma,\mathbf{b}\Sigma}(\vec{f})(x) = \sum_{j=1}^m [b_j,T_{\sigma}]_j(\vec{f})(x), \] where each term is the commutator of \(b_j\) and \(T_{\sigma}\) in the \(j\)-th entry of \(T_{\sigma}\). In more detail, the authors prove local exponential and subexponential decay estimates for \(T_{\sigma}(\vec{f})\) and \(T_{\sigma,\mathbf{b}\Sigma}(\vec{f})\), respectively. Subsequently, weighted mixed weak type inequalities for \(T_{\sigma}\) are derived, in the spirit of similar weak type estimates recently proved for Calderón-Zygmund and generalized maximal operators [\textit{A. K. Lerner} et al., Adv. Math. 220, No. 4, 1222--1264 (2009; Zbl 1160.42009); \textit{C. Pérez}, J. Funct. Anal. 128, No. 1, 163--185 (1995; Zbl 0831.42010)]. Techniques of sparse domination are used and also endpoint cases are encompassed. Moreover, classical weighted estimates for \(T_{\sigma}(\vec{f})\) and \(T_{\sigma,\mathbf{b}\Sigma}(\vec{f})\) are improved, namely, sharp results are obtained by means of dyadic analysis techniques.
