A class of multiparameter oscillatory singular integral operators: endpoint Hardy space bounds (Q2177535)

Summary: We establish endpoint bounds on a Hardy space \(H^1\) for a natural class of multiparameter singular integral operators which do not decay away from the support of rectangular atoms. Hence the usual argument via a Journé-type covering lemma to deduce bounds on product \(H^1\) is not valid. We consider the class of multiparameter oscillatory singular integral operators given by convolution with the classical multiple Hilbert transform kernel modulated by a general polynomial oscillation. Various characterisations are known which give \(L^2\) (or more generally \(L^p\), \(1 < p < \infty)\) bounds. Here we initiate an investigation of endpoint bounds on the rectangular Hardy space \(H^1\) in two dimensions; we give a characterisation when bounds hold which are uniform over a given subspace of polynomials and somewhat surprisingly, we discover that the Hardy space and \(L^p\) theories for these operators are very different.
