Some new tent spaces and duality theorems for fractional Carleson measures and \(Q_{\alpha}(\mathbb R^n)\). (Q1429825)

In 2000, Xiao with some other collaborators introduced the space \(Q_\alpha(\mathbb{R}^n)\) defined by the set of functions in \(L^2_{\text{loc}}\) such that \[ \sup_I {1\over | I| ^{1-2\alpha n}}\int_I \int_I {| f(x)-f(y)| ^2\over | x-y| ^{n+2\alpha}} dxdy<\infty \] with \(I\) an arbitrary cube in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) and they proved that this is always a subclass of \(BMO(\mathbb{R}^n)\) and they both coincide if \(\alpha<0\). This connexion led the authors to consider natural variants of Carleson measures. In the present paper, the authors give a characterization of the space \(Q_\alpha(\mathbb{R}^n)\) in terms of some fractional Carleson measures (defined in this paper) and characterize this new measures in terms of a nontangential maximal functional and the Hausdorff capacity. They also introduce a new tent space \(T_d^\infty\) which is the analogue, for the fractional Carleson measure, of the tent space of Coifman-Meyer-Stein \(T^\infty\) and identify the pre-dual of it as the space \(T_d^1\), for which they find an atomic decomposition. They finally give a characterization of the predual space of the spaces \(Q_\alpha(\mathbb{R}^n)\).
