Multilinear commutators of singular integral operators with non-smooth kernels (Q2455366)

Let \((X, d, \mu)\) be a space of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman-Weiss, equipped with a metric \(d\) and a Borel measure \(\mu\). Suppose \(\mu(X)=\infty\). Suppose the following: (a) \(T\) is a bounded linear operator on \(L^2(X)\), and \(T(f)(x)=\int_X K(x,y)f(y)\,d\mu(y)\) \((x\notin \operatorname{supp} f)\) for each continuous function \(f\) with compact support (\(K(x,y)\) is called an associated kernel with \(T\)); (b) There exists a generalized approximations of the identity \(\{B_t\}_{t>0}\) such that \((T-TB_t)\) \((t>0)\) has an associated kernel \(K_t(x,y)\) and there exist \(C_1\), \(C_2>0\) satisfying \[ \int_{d(x,y)>C_1t^{1/\beta}}| K_t(x,y)| \,d\mu(x)\leq C_2; \] (c) There exists a generalized approximations of the identity \(\{A_t\}_{t>0}\) such that \((T-A_tT)\) \((t>0)\) has an associated kernel \(k_t(x,y)\) and there exist \(\alpha\), \(C_3\), \(C_4>0\) satisfying \(| k_t(x,y)| \leq C_4(\mu(B(x;d(x,y)))^{-1} t^{\alpha/\beta}d(x,y)^\alpha\) if \({d(x,y)>C_3t^{1/\beta}}\), where \(\beta\) is the index appearing in generalized approximations of the identity. Under the above assumptions, the author shows the following: Let \(1<p<\infty\), and \(b_j\in \text{BMO}(X)\), \(j=1,2,\dots,m\). Then there exists \(C>0\) such that \[ \biggl\| \int_X \prod_{j=1}^{m} (b_j(x)-b_j(y)) K(x,y) f(y)\,d\mu(y)\biggr\| _p \leq C \prod_{j=1}^{m} \| b_j\| _{\text{BMO}}\| f\| _p. \] In the case \(m=1\), this result is given by \textit{X.~Duong} and \textit{L.~Yan} [Bull. Austral. Math. Soc. 67, 187--200 (2003; Zbl 1023.42010)].
