Spaces \(H^1\) and BMO on \(ax+b\)-groups (Q735096)

Let \(S\) be the group \(\mathbb{R}^d\ltimes \mathbb{R}_+\) endowed with the Riemannian symmetric space metric \(d\) and the right Haar measure \(\rho\). The space \((S,d,\rho)\) denotes the corresponding Lie group of exponential growth. The paper under review develops an \(H^1\)-BMO theory in the space \((S,d,\rho)\), which is based on the Calderón-Zygmund theory introduced by \textit{W. Hebisch} and \textit{T. Steger} in [Math. Z. 245, No.~1, 37--61 (2003; Zbl 1035.43001)]. After defining an atomic Hardy space \(H^1\) and a BMO space, whose definitions are analoguous to the classical ones, the author proves that the BMO functions satisfy the John-Nirenberg inequality and that the BMO space may be identified with the dual space of \(H^1\). Further, the author shows that a singular integral operator, whose kernel satisfies an integral Hörmander condition, extends to a bounded operator from \(H^1\) to \(L^1\) and from \(L^\infty\) to BMO, and so do the spectral multipliers of a distinguished Laplacian \(\Delta\). Finally, the real interpolation between \(H^1\), BMO and the \(L^p\) spaces is also studied. All of the above results are analogues of the classical ones, but the proofs are different.
