Geometric harmonic analysis III. Integral representations, Calderón-Zygmund theory, Fatou theorems, and applications to scattering (Q6044570)

This is volume three of a projected five volume work that aims to develop the tools from real and harmonic analysis of a geometric harmonic analysis flavor needed to prove results for a broad spectrum of problems in general geometric and analytic settings. In the introduction, they lay out the plan of attack. Volume I will contain new results on the Divergence Theorem. Volume II will discuss the necessary spaces: Hardy spaces, Morrey spaces, Campanato spaces, Sobolev spaces, Triebel-Lizorkin spaces and various generalizations. I will speak in more detail about Volume 3 below, but it aims to discuss Calderón-Zygmund operators of convolution type and operators with variable kernels on uniformly rectifiable sets in Euclidean type spaces and on Riemannian manifolds. Volume 4 aims to extend these to singular integral operators of boundary layer type along with applications to several complex variables based on the fact that operators considered there, such as the Bochner-Martinelli operators, are a type of double layer potential operators, associated with the complex Laplacian. Finally, Volume 5 will prove finer estimates for a class of singular integral operators that show how these estimates are affected by the flatness (infinitesimal and global) of the surfaces on which they are defined. In this volume, the general pattern is to prove the existence of non-tangential limits under suitable conditions on the solutions of elliptic operators and systems and to use those limits to prove representation theorems for solutions of the equations, usually with estimates for the behavior of those solutions in terms of estimates for the traces. Chapter 1 begins the discussion with extensions of the Cauchy integral representation and carries on to give results for second order elliptic equations and first order systems. Chapter 2 gives appropriate Calderón-Zygmund operators, first on Upper Ahlfors Regular sets and extends those to uniformly rectifiable sets and then to open sets with uniformly rectifiable boundaries. Chapter 3 discusses quantitative Fatou theorems in which \(L^p(\partial \Omega)\) integrability of a non-tangential maximal function on the boundary with respect to Hausdorff measure implies a gradient estimate for null-solutions of second order systems in uniformly rectifiable domains, non-tangentially accessible domains (NTA is defined in Volume 1) and finally on some Riemannian manifolds. Chapters 4 discusses Green's functions and Poisson kernels for second order systems, and Chapter 5 discusses Green's functions and Poisson kernels for the Laplacian in NTA domains. The book concludes in Chapter 6 with a discussion of scattering by rough obstacles. The complete set of volumes promises to deliver most of what is known about solving elliptic equations and systems on various kinds of flat domains under minimal conditions on the flatness (local and global) of the domains.
