Modulation invariant bilinear \(T(1)\) theorem (Q2655710)

The authors prove a \(T(1)\) theorem for bilinear singular integral operators \[ \int_{\mathbb{R}^2} f_1(x + \beta_1 t ) f_2(x + \beta_2 t ) f_3(x + \beta_3 t ) \, K(x,t) \, dx \, dt, \] where \(K\) is a standard Calderón-Zygmund kernel and for some \(\beta = (\beta_1, \beta_2, \beta_3 )\). The main goal of this paper is to address the case of kernels \(K(x,t)\) that have both \(t\) and \(x\) dependence. Since this operators are no longer invariant under invariant under spatial translations, the authors introduce a new frequency decomposition and need a two-parameter family of boxes with varying eccentricities in the proof. The work was inspired in part by certain classes of bilinear pseudodifferential operators and their symbolic calculus due to \textit{A. Bényi, A. Nahmod} and \textit{R. Torres} in [J. Geom. Anal. 16, No. 3, 431--453 (2006; Zbl 1110.47039)]. This paper provides new frequency decompositions and further develop wave packet techniques for the study of other multilinear operators lying beyond the Coifman-Meyer class.
