On dilation operators in Triebel-Lizorkin spaces (Q1048674)

The behaviour of the dilation operators \(T_k\), \[ T_k f(x) = f (2^k x), \quad x \in \mathbb R^n, \quad k \in \mathbb{N}, \] is well understood in the spaces \(B^s_{pq} (\mathbb R^n)\) and \(F^s_{pq} (\mathbb R^n)\) with \(0<p,q \leq \infty\) (\(p< \infty\) for \(F\)-spaces), \(s > \frac{n}{\min (p,1)} -n\). But it was an open problem what happens in the limiting cases \(1 \leq p < \infty\), \(s=0\) and \(0<p<1\), \(s = \frac{n}{p} - n\). Whereas the \(B\)-case has been treated by the authors in earlier publications, the paper under review deals with the \(F\)-case, producing some unexpected effects. As a consequence, these limiting \(F\)-spaces do not coincide with corresponding spaces defined by other means (moduli of smoothness, subatomic decompositions).
