A variant of Yano's extrapolation theorem on Hardy spaces (Q2328648)

Let \((X,\mu)\) and \((Y,\nu)\) be two finite measure spaces, and \(T \colon (X,\mu) \rightarrow (Y,\nu)\) a sublinear operator, i.e, \[ ||T(f+g)|| \le ||T(f)||+||T(g)||\quad\text{and} \quad||T(\alpha f)|| \le |\alpha|||T(f)||\] such that there exist constants \(C_0, r > 0\) s.t. \[\sup\limits_{||g||_{{\mathcal{L}}^p(X)} = 1}||T(g)||_{{\mathcal{L}}^p(Y)} \le C_0(p-1)^{-r}\] for every \(1 < p \le 2\). Then a classical theorem of \textit{Y. Yano} [J. Math. Soc. Japan 3, 296--305 (1951; Zbl 0045.17901)] asserts that \[ ||T(f)|| _{{\mathcal{L}}^1(Y)} \le A+B \int_X |f(x)||\log^r(1+|f(x)|)|d\mu(x)\] for all measurable functions \(f\) on \(X\), where \(A\),\(B > 0\) are constants depending only on \(C_0\), \(r\), \(\mu(X)\) and \(\nu(Y)\). Motivated by some classical results in [\textit{S. K. Pichorides}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 114, No. 3, 787--789 (1992; Zbl 0744.42005); \textit{A. Zygmund}, Fundam. Math. 30, 170--196 (1938; Zbl 0019.01602)], the paper under review proves a version of the aforementioned extrapolation theorem of Yano for sublinear operators acting on analytic Hardy spaces over \(\mathbb T\). For \(1 \le p \le \infty\). The main result of the paper (Theorem 1) reads: For a sublinear operator \(T\) acting on the spaces of measurable functions on \(\mathbb{T}\), if there exist constants \(C_0, r > 0\) s.t \[\sup\limits_{g \in H^p(\mathbb{T}),||g||_{{\mathcal{L}}^p(\mathbb{T})} = 1}||T(g)||_{{\mathcal{L}}^p(\mathbb{T})} \le C_0(p-1)^{-r}\] for every \(1 < p \le 2\), then there exists a constant \(D > 0\), depending only on \(C_0, r\) s.t. \( ||T(g)|| _{{\mathcal{L}}^1(\mathbb{T})} \le D||f||_{L\log^r({\mathcal{L}}(\mathbb{T})}\) for every analytic trigonometric polynomial \(f\) on \(\mathbb{T}\). It is interesting to note that, for sublinear operators satisfying the assumptions of the main theorem (Theorem 1), the main theorem improves the exponent \(s=r+1\) in \(L\log^sL(\mathbb{T})\) to the optimal one \(s=r\). The author also proves that Theorem 1 is sharp. The paper concludes with discussions on extensions of the main result (Theorem 1) to Hardy-Orlicz spaces and their higher-dimensional variants.
