Estimates for Lusin-area and Littlewood-Paley \(g_\lambda^*\) functions over spaces of homogeneous type (Q845008)

Let \((X,d,\mu)\) be a space of homogeneous type and \(\mu(X)=\infty\). Under the assumptions that the measure \(\mu\) satisfies the volume regularity property \((P)\) and the Lusin-area function \(S\) is bounded on \(L^2(X)\), the authors prove, without invoking any regularity of the kernels considered, that if \(f\) belongs to \(BMO(X)\), \(S(f)\) is either infinite everywhere or finite almost everywhere, and in the latter case, \((S(f))^2\) is bounded from \(BMO(X)\) into its proper subspace \(BLO(X)\). As an application, the authors also obtain the boundedness on \(L^p(\mu)\) with \(p\in (2,\infty)\) for the operator \(S\). Furthermore, exploiting the \(L^p(X)\)-boundedness of \(S\), the authors prove similar results for Campanato spaces on \(X\). Moreover, the authors establish corresponding results for the Littlewood-Paley \(g_\lambda^*\) function without invoking any regularity of the kernels considered and the property \((P)\) of \(X\).
