Vector-valued multipliers on stratified groups (Q1175974)

Let \(L\) be a left invariant sublaplacian on a stratified Lie group \(G\), with spectral resolution \(\{E(\lambda):\lambda\geq 0\}\). For \(t>0\), and any Borel measurable function \(m\) on \([0,\infty)\) define the operator \(m(tL)\) by \(m(tL)=\int m(t\lambda)dE(\lambda)\). This paper is concerned with the multiplier operator \(m(L)\) (\(t=1\)), and the maximal operator \(m^*(L)\) given by \(m^*(L)f(x)=\sup\{| m(tL)f(x)|:t>0\}\). The authors show that when \(m\) satisfies a smoothness condition of order \(s>Q(1/p-1/2)\) when \(0<p\leq 1\), then \(m(L)\) is bounded on \(H^ p\). This improves a result of De Michele and Mauceri. In the second half of the paper, the authors extend these ideas to vector-valued multipliers, where the functions take their values in a Banach space of functions on \(R^ +\). They give conditions on \(m\) which imply that the operator \(f\to m(\cdot L)f\) extends to a bounded linear operator from \(H^ p\) to the Bochner-Lebesgue space \(L^ p(X)\) of all \(X\)-valued \(p\)-integrable functions on \(G\).
