A remark on Fefferman-Stein's inequalities (Q1817882)

Let \(1<p<\infty\) and \(T\) be a fractional maximal operator (including the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator) or a Calderón-Zygmund operator or a fractional integral operator. The Fefferman-Stein's inequality related to \(T\) is that \[ \int_{{\mathbf{R}}^n}|(Tf)(x)|^p\omega(x) dx\leq C\int_{{\mathbf{R}}^n}|f(x)|^p(S\omega)(x) dx\leqno(\ast) \] for all functions \(f\), where \(\omega\) is a weight function, \(S\) is some operator, and \(C\) is independent of \(f\). In this paper, the author proves that, for some reverse doubling weight functions, the related operator \(S\) appearing in \((\ast)\) and its dual inequality can be taken smaller than those operators for which they are known to be true.
