Multilinear Riesz potential operators on Herz-type spaces and generalized Morrey spaces (Q1048681)

Let \(m\geq1,n\geq2\) be integers. The multilinear Riesz potential operator is defined by \( I_{\alpha}^{(m)}({\mathbf f})(x)=\int_{(\mathbb R^n)^m}\frac{f_1(y_1)\cdots f_m(y_m)} {|(x-y_1,\dots,x-y_m)|^{mn-\alpha}}\,d{\mathbf y},\quad 0<\alpha<mn, \) where \({\mathbf y}=(y_1,\dots,y_m)\) and \({\mathbf f}=(f_1,\dots,f_m)\). In the authors' former paper, they showed: Let \(0<\alpha<mn\), \(0\leq \lambda_i< n-\alpha/m\), \(0<p_i\leq\infty\), \(1<q_i<\infty\) and \(\lambda_i+\alpha/m-n/q_i< \sigma_i<n(1-1/q_i)\) for \(i=1,\dots,m\). Suppose that \(\lambda=\lambda_1+\cdots +\lambda_m\), \(\sigma=\sigma_1+\cdots+\sigma_m\), \(1/p=1/p_1+\cdots+1/p_m-\alpha/n\), \(1/q=1/q_1+\cdots+1/q_m-\alpha/n\). Then \(\|I_{\alpha}^{(m)}({\mathbf f})\|_{M\dot K_{p,q}^{\sigma,\lambda}(\mathbb R^n)}\leq C\prod_{i=1}^{m}\|f_i\|_{M\dot K_{p_i,q_i}^{\sigma_i,\lambda_i}(\mathbb R^n)}\) [\textit{X. Tao, Y. Shi} and \textit{S. Zhang}, Acta Math. Sin., Chin. Ser. 52, No. 3, 535--548 (2009; Zbl 1199.42085)]. Here, \(M\dot K_{p_i,q_i}^{\sigma_i,\lambda_i}(\mathbb R^n)\) is the homogeneous Herz-Morrey space (a generalization of the standard Morrey space in terms of Herz space norm). This extends \textit{C. Kenig} and \textit{E. M. Stein}'s \(L^p\) result [Math. Res. Lett. 6, No. 1, 1--15 (1999); erratum ibid. 6, No. 3--4, 467 (1999; Zbl 0952.42005)]. In this paper, the authors treat two cases (i) \(\sigma_i=n(1-1/q_i)\) and (ii) \(\sigma_i>n(1-1/q_i)\). In the case (i), replacing \(0<p_i\leq\infty\), \(1<q_i<\infty\) by \(0<p_i\leq1\), \(1\leq q_i<\infty\), and \(M\dot K_{p,q}^{\sigma, \lambda}(\mathbb R^n)\) by the weak Herz-Morrey space \(WM\dot K_{p,q}^{\sigma, \lambda}(\mathbb R^n)\), respectively, they showed that the same conclusion holds. In the case (ii), replacing \(0<p_i\leq\infty\) by \(0<p_i<\infty\), and \(M\dot K_{p,q}^{\sigma,\lambda}(\mathbb R^n)\), \(M\dot K_{p_i,q_i}^{\sigma_i,\lambda_i}(\mathbb R^n)\) by the Herz space \(\dot K_q^{\sigma,p}\) and the Herz-type Hardy spaces \(H\dot K_{q_i}^{\sigma_i,p_i}(\mathbb R^n)\), respectively, they showed that the same conclusion holds. As another subject, they extend the known boundedness of the classical Riesz operator \(I_\alpha\) in the generalized Morrey space \(L^{p,\phi}(\mathbb R^n)\) (\(1\leq p<\infty\) and a suitable doubling function \(\phi\) on \((0,\infty)\) ) to the case \(I_\alpha^{(m)}\) \textit{E.
