Boundedness of linear operators via atoms on Hardy spaces with non-doubling measures

Abstract

Abstract Let μ be a non-negative Radon measure on which satisfies only the polynomial growth condition. Let 𝒴 be a Banach space and H 1(μ) be the Hardy space of Tolsa. In this paper, the authors prove that a linear operator T is bounded from H 1(μ) to 𝒴 if and only if T maps all (p, γ)-atomic blocks into uniformly bounded elements of 𝒴; moreover, the authors prove that for a sublinear operator T bounded from L 1(μ) to L 1, ∞(μ), if T maps all (p, γ)-atomic blocks with p ∈ (1, ∞) and γ ∈ ℕ into uniformly bounded elements of L 1(μ), then T extends to a bounded sublinear operator from H 1(μ) to L 1(μ). For the localized atomic Hardy space h 1(μ), the corresponding results are also presented. Finally, these results are applied to Calderón–Zygmund operators, Riesz potentials and multilinear commutators generated by Calderón–Zygmund operators or fractional integral operators with Lipschitz functions to simplify the existing proofs in the related papers.
