Some remarks on multilinear maps and interpolation (Q5927636)

This interesting paper deals with a multilinear version of the Boyd interpolation theorem for multilinear operators. This theorem is proved in the context of quasi-normed rearrangement invariant spaces. The authors give several applications, including estimates for bilinear fractional integrals, obtained with different proof by \textit{C. Kenig} and \textit{E. M. Stein} in Math. Res. Lett. 6, No. 1, 1-115 (1999; Zbl 0952.42005), namely they characterize the indices \((1/p, 1/q, 1/r)\), \(0<p,q,r\leq \infty\), for which the bilinear fractional integral operator \[ I_{\alpha}(f,g)(x)=\int_{\mathbb R^{n}}f(x+t)g(x-t)|t|^{\alpha-n} dt, \] maps \(L_{p}(\mathbb R^{n})\times L_{q}(\mathbb R^{n})\to L_{r}(\mathbb R^{n}).\)
