Singular integrals associated to the Laplacian on the affine group \(ax+b\) (Q2365890)

Let \(G\) be the affine group over the real line. Let \(X\) and \(Y\) be right-invariant differential operators induced by the elements of the basis for the Lie algebra of \(G\); \(L\) denotes the closure of \(-X^2 - Y^2\) on \(L^2(G)\). Let \(Z_1\), \(Z_2\) be any nonzero operators in the span of \(X\) and \(Y\). The authors establish the following results: If \(p\in ]1,+\infty[\), \(Z_1 L^{-1}Z_2\) defines a bounded operator from \(L^ p(G)\) into \(L^p(G)\) and a bounded operator from \(L^1(G)\) into \((L^1(G)\),weak); if \(p\in [1,+\infty[\), the operators \(Z_1 Z_2 L^{-1}\) and \(L^{-1} Z_1 Z_2\) are not of weak type \((p,p)\). In the proofs the kernels of convolution operators are split into their local parts and their parts at infinity.
