An off-diagonal \(T1\) theorem and applications (Q1279651)

The author gives a general boundedness criterion, analogous to the \(T1\) theorem, for singular integrals mapping \(L^p\) to \(L^q\), \(q<p\). As an easy corollary of this result, the author deduces the Kato-Ponce ``Leibniz rule'' for fractional order derivatives. The author also studies the commutators of parabolic singular integrals and deduces pointwise a.e. convergence of truncations of a class of parabolic singular integrals which includes the caloric double-layer potential on the boundary of a non-cylindrical domain. To get the latter, the author uses a generalized version of an unpublished lemma of M. Weiss, which is given in an appendix to this paper written jointly with L. Grafakos.
