A weighted weak type estimate for the fractional integral operator on spaces of homogeneous type (Q663547)

The author considers the fractional integral \(I_\alpha f\) with the kernel \[ Q_\alpha(x,y)=\begin{cases} \eta(x,y)^{\alpha-1}, & \text{ if } x\not=y,\cr \mu(\{x\})^{\alpha-1} & \text{ if } x=y \text{ and } \mu(\{x\})>0 \end{cases} \] in spaces of homogeneous type \(({\mathcal K},d,\mu)\) in the sence of Coifman and Weiss. It is given a sufficient condition on the pair of weights \((u,v)\) so that \(I_\alpha\) is bounded from \(L^p({\mathcal K},v)\) to weak \(L^q({\mathcal K},u)\) with \(1<p\leq q<\infty\).
