Vanishing John–Nirenberg spaces

Abstract

Abstract There still exist many unsolved problems on the study related to John–Nirenberg spaces. In this article, the authors introduce two new vanishing subspaces of the John–Nirenberg space JN p ⁢ ( ℝ n ) {\mathrm{JN}_{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})} denoted, respectively, by VJN p ⁢ ( ℝ n ) {\mathrm{VJN}_{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})} and CJN p ⁢ ( ℝ n ) {\mathrm{CJN}_{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})} , and establish their equivalent characterizations which are counterparts of those characterizations for the classic spaces VMO ⁢ ( ℝ n ) {\mathrm{VMO}(\mathbb{R}^{n})} and CMO ⁢ ( ℝ n ) {\mathrm{CMO}(\mathbb{R}^{n})} obtained, respectively, by D. Sarason and A. Uchiyama. All these results shed some light on the mysterious space JN p ⁢ ( ℝ n ) {\mathrm{JN}_{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})} . The approach strongly depends on the fine geometrical properties of dyadic cubes, which enable the authors to subtly classify any collection of interior pairwise disjoint cubes.
