Variations on Yano's extrapolation theorem (Q558713)

The aim of the present paper is, using the decomposition developed previously by the authors for the extrapolation characterisation of exponential Orlicz spaces, to give extremely simple proofs of theorems of Yano type in the setting of Lorentz spaces. As a sample of statements, we only mention the following: Let \(1\leq q\leq \infty\) and suppose that for all \(p\) near 1 with \(p>1,\) \(T:L_{p}\to L_{p,q}\) is bounded, with \(| | T| L_{p}\to L_{p,q}| | \leq C(p-1)^{-\alpha}\) for some \(\alpha>0\) and \(C\) independent of \(p\). Then \(T:L(\log L)^{\alpha+1/q^{\prime}}\to L_{1}\) is bounded, where \(1/q^{\prime}=1-1/q\).
