Bilinear multipliers of weighted Lebesgue spaces and variable exponent Lebesgue spaces (Q2637521)

The authors consider bilinear multipliers of the form \[ (f,g) \mapsto \int \limits _{\mathbb{R}^{n}} \int \limits _{\mathbb{R}^{n}} \widehat{f}(\xi)\widehat{g}(\eta)m(\xi,\eta)\exp(2i\pi \langle \cdot, \xi+\eta \rangle)d\xi d\eta, \] acting on weighted or variable exponent \(L^p\) spaces (here \(m\in L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{2n};\mathbb{C})\)). They establish basic properties of the corresponding class of bounded multipliers including stability results under translations, modulations, and dilations, the relationship between boundedness of a multiplier and boundedness of the associated trilinear form, and the fact that symbols of the form \(m:(\xi,\eta) \mapsto \widehat{K}(\xi-\eta)\), for \(K\) in an appropriate \(L^1\) space, are indeed bounded. The results, and their proofs, are highly similar to their standard counterparts (for unweighted, fixed exponent \(L^p\) spaces) as they mostly rely on Hölder inequalities, Fubini's theorem, and basic properties of the Fourier transform. For weights of the form \(x \mapsto (1+|x|)^{s}\), the proofs give some information on the admissible relationships between the parameters \(s\), the dimension \(n\), and the Lebesgue exponents \(p_{1},p_{2},p_{3}\). These relationships are explicitly stated (see in particular Theorem 2.6).
