A note on Marcinkiewicz integrals with \(H^1\) kernels (Q1871523)

Let \(\mathbb{R}^n\), \(n\geq 2\), be the \(n\)-dimensional Euclidean space and \(S^{n-1}\) be the unit sphere in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) equipped with the normalized Lebesgue measure \(d\sigma\). Let \(\Omega\) be a homogeneous function of degree \(0\) satisfying \(\Omega\in L^1(S^{n-1})\) and \[ \int_{S^{n-1}} \Omega(y')\,d\sigma(y')= 0, \] where \(y'= y/| y|\in S^{n-1}\) for any \(y\neq 0\). In this paper the authors study the Marcinkiewicz integral operator defined by \[ {\mathcal M}_\Omega f(x)= \Biggl(\int^\infty_0| K_t* f(x)|^2 t^{-1}\,dt\Biggr)^{1/2}, \] where \(K(x)=| x|^{1-n}\Omega(x)\chi_{(0,1)}(| x|)\), \(K_t(x)= t^{-n} K(x/t)\), and \(\chi_A\) denotes the characteristic function of a set \(A\). The authors prove that if \(\Omega\in H^1(S^{n-1})\) and \(p\in (1,\infty)\), then \({\mathcal M}_\Omega\) is bounded on \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)\) for \(1< p< \infty\), where \(H^1\) denotes the Hardy space. This result was proved in an ealier paper by \textit{Y. Ding}, \textit{D. Fan} and \textit{Y. Pan} in [Acta Math. Sin. 44, 527--534 (2001; Zbl 1009.42009)]. But the methods in these two papers are quite different.
