On extrapolation spaces and a.e. convergence of Fourier series (Q1344170)

Since the celebrated work of L. Carleson, many improvements were done on a.e. convergence of Fourier series. The first one is due to R. Hunt. The author noted two more results, due to P. Sjölin and F. Soria. Let \(S(f)= \sup_ n | S_ n (f)|\), where \(S_ n(f)\) is the \(n\)th partial sum of the Fourier series of \(f\). Then \[ \begin{multlined}\int_{\mathbb{T}} Sf(t)(1+ \log^ + Sf(t))^{\theta- 1} dt\leq\\ \leq C\theta^{- 1}\int_{\mathbb{T}} | f(t)|(1+ \log^ + | f(t)|)^{1+ \theta} dt\quad (0< \theta< 1),\end{multlined}\tag\text{P. Sjölin, 1989} \] \[ f\in L\log L(\log\log L)(\mathbb{T}) \quad \text{implies} \quad Sf\in L(\log L)^{-1}(\mathbb{T}).\tag\text{F. Soria, 1989} \] The author applied extrapolation theory, developed by him and B. Jawerth, to deduce Sjölin's estimate from the original Carleson-Hunt one, and then Soria's result from Sjölin's estimate. The method involves characterizing certain extrapolation spaces associated with scales of Lorentz-Zygmund spaces. He also gives a general method to identify relevant extrapolation spaces for arbitrary scales of spaces.
