Preduals of quadratic Campanato spaces associated to operators with heat kernel bounds (Q462313)

The authors prove that, for a suitable nonnegative self-adjoint operator \(L\) on \(L^2(\mathbb R^n)\) for which the semigroup \(e^{-tL}\) has a kernel satisfying a Gaussian upper bound, if \(\mathcal L_L^{2,\lambda}(\mathbb R^n)\) is the associated Morrey-Campanato space whose norm is given by \[ \|f\|_{\mathcal L_L^{2,\lambda}}=\sup_{B\subset\mathbb R^n}\bigg(r^{-\lambda}_B\int_B|f(x)-e^{-r^2_B{L}}f(x)|^2\,dx\bigg)^{1/2}<\infty, \] where \(r_B\) is the radius of the ball \(B\) and \(0<\lambda<n\), then \(\mathcal L_L^{2,\lambda}(\mathbb R^n)\) is the dual of a certain space \(F\dot H_L^\lambda(\mathbb R^n)\). Several characterizations for this space are given in terms of atomic and molecular decompositions. The case \(L=-\Delta\) was already proved in [\textit{C. T. Zorko}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 98, 586--592 (1986; Zbl 0612.43003)].
