Kernels of band-limited symbols and Hörmander's condition #
Let V be a finite-dimensional real inner product space of dimension n, b an orthonormal
basis of V, and 2N > n. Call a Schwartz function σ on V, with values in a complex Hilbert
space, adapted to the scale t > 0 with constant A if it vanishes outside closedBall 0 t
and its derivatives of order k ≤ N along b are bounded by A t ^ (-k). A smooth symbol m
satisfying the Mihlin conditions ‖∂^α m(ξ)‖ ≤ A ‖ξ‖ ^ (-|α|), cut off by a Littlewood–Paley
partition of unity to the annulus ‖ξ‖ ~ 2 ^ j, gives such a piece at a scale comparable to
2 ^ j, with constant a fixed multiple of A.
The estimates of SchwartzMap.exists_setIntegral_norm_fourierInv_le and
SchwartzMap.exists_integral_norm_fourierInv_le then become scale-invariant bounds on the kernel
𝓕⁻ σ, with constants independent of σ, t and A:
- the tail bound
∫_{‖x‖ > R} ‖𝓕⁻ σ x‖ dx ≤ C A (t R) ^ (n/2 - N); - the
L¹bound∫ ‖𝓕⁻ σ x‖ dx ≤ C A, which only needs the derivatives of orders0andN; - the smoothness bound
∫ ‖𝓕⁻ σ (x + h) - 𝓕⁻ σ x‖ dx ≤ C A t ‖h‖. Translating the kernel byhis controlled by the symbol⟪h, ξ⟫ σ ξ, whose derivatives the Leibniz ruleSchwartzMap.iterate_lineDerivOp_smulLeftCLM_clmbounds.
For pieces σ j adapted to the dyadic scales 2 ^ j, j ∈ s, the smoothness bound is the
better one when 2 ^ j ‖h‖ ≤ 1 and the tail bound when 2 ^ j ‖h‖ > 1. Summing the better of the
two over j (TauCeti.sum_min_zpow_mul_rpow_neg_le) gives Hörmander's condition
∫_{‖x‖ > 2 ‖h‖} ‖K (x - h) - K x‖ dx ≤ C A for K = 𝓕⁻ (∑ j ∈ s, σ j),
with C independent of the finite set s and of h. This is the kernel estimate in the proof
of the Mihlin–Hörmander multiplier theorem: the finite partial sums of the Littlewood–Paley pieces
of a Mihlin symbol have kernels satisfying Hörmander's condition uniformly in the partial sum.

A Schwartz function bounded by M and vanishing outside closedBall 0 t has L² norm at
most M √|B(0, 1)| t ^ (n/2).
The tail of the kernel of a band-limited symbol. Let b be an orthonormal basis of the
n-dimensional space V and 2N > n. There is a constant C ≥ 0 such that, whenever a
Schwartz function σ vanishes outside closedBall 0 t and its N-th derivatives along b are
bounded by A t ^ (-N),
∫_{‖x‖ > R} ‖𝓕⁻ σ x‖ dx ≤ C A (t R) ^ (n/2 - N) for every R > 0.
The L¹ norm of the kernel of a band-limited symbol. Let b be an orthonormal basis of
the n-dimensional space V and 2N > n. There is a constant C ≥ 0 such that, whenever a
Schwartz function σ vanishes outside closedBall 0 t, is bounded by A and its N-th
derivatives along b are bounded by A t ^ (-N),
∫ ‖𝓕⁻ σ x‖ dx ≤ C A.
The smoothness of the kernel of a band-limited symbol. Let b be an orthonormal basis of
the n-dimensional space V and 2N > n. There is a constant C ≥ 0 such that, whenever a
Schwartz function σ vanishes outside closedBall 0 t and its derivatives of order k ≤ N along
b are bounded by A t ^ (-k),
∫ ‖𝓕⁻ σ (x + h) - 𝓕⁻ σ x‖ dx ≤ C A t ‖h‖ for every h.
Hörmander's condition for the kernel of a band-limited symbol. Let b be an orthonormal
basis of the n-dimensional space V and 2N > n. There is a constant C ≥ 0 such that, whenever
a Schwartz function σ vanishes outside closedBall 0 t and its derivatives of order k ≤ N
along b are bounded by A t ^ (-k),
∫_{‖x‖ > 2 ‖h‖} ‖𝓕⁻ σ (x - h) - 𝓕⁻ σ x‖ dx ≤ C A min (t ‖h‖, (t ‖h‖) ^ (n/2 - N))
for every h: the smoothness bound is the better one when t ‖h‖ ≤ 1, the tail bound when
t ‖h‖ > 1.
Hörmander's condition for dyadic sums of band-limited symbols. Let b be an orthonormal
basis of the n-dimensional space V and 2N > n. There is a constant C ≥ 0 with the following
property. Let σ j be Schwartz functions, for j in a finite set s ⊆ ℤ, such that σ j
vanishes outside closedBall 0 (2 ^ j) and its derivatives of order k ≤ N along b are bounded
by A 2 ^ (-j k). Then the kernel K = 𝓕⁻ (∑ j ∈ s, σ j) satisfies
∫_{‖x‖ > 2 ‖h‖} ‖K (x - h) - K x‖ dx ≤ C A for every h.
