Singular integral operators of strong type (p, p) for 1 < p < ∞ #
Let T be a bounded linear operator on L²(ℝⁿ) satisfying the Calderón–Zygmund cancellation
condition, for instance one given by a kernel satisfying Hörmander's condition. The weak type
(1, 1) half of the Calderón–Zygmund theorem is
ContinuousLinearMap.mul_volume_lt_enorm_le_of_setLIntegral_compl_closedBall_le. Marcinkiewicz
interpolation between that bound and the L² bound
(ContinuousLinearMap.eLpNorm_le_of_rpow_mul_meas_lt_le) gives the strong type (p, p) bound
‖T f‖_p ≤ (p / (p - 1) · 2 C + p / (2 - p) · 4 ‖T‖²) ^ (1 / p) ‖f‖_p
for every 1 < p < 2 and every f ∈ L², where C = 2ⁿ (4 ‖T‖² + 1) + 4 B is the weak type
(1, 1) constant, or C = 4 · 2ⁿ ‖T‖² + cⁿ + 4 B for the cancellation condition with dilation
factor c in place of 2. This constant blows up as p → 1, and also as p → 2 when
‖T‖ > 0. That is a limitation of the interpolation argument, not of every operator satisfying
the hypotheses (the zero operator satisfies them), although classical singular integrals such as
the Hilbert transform are indeed not bounded on L¹.
For Hilbert space valued functions, the range 2 < p < ∞ follows by duality
(ContinuousLinearMap.eLpNorm_le_of_eLpNorm_adjoint_le): if the adjoint T† satisfies the
cancellation condition, the bound for T† at the conjugate exponent p / (p - 1) ∈ (1, 2) gives
‖T f‖_p ≤ (p · 2 C + p / (p - 2) · 4 ‖T‖²) ^ (1 - 1 / p) ‖f‖_p
for every f ∈ L², with C = 2ⁿ (4 ‖T‖² + 1) + 4 B and B the cancellation constant of T†.
When T and T† both satisfy the cancellation condition, T is therefore bounded in the Lᵖ
norm for every 1 < p < ∞, with a constant depending only on n, p, the dilation factor, a
bound for ‖T‖ and the cancellation constants.
Since T is only given on L², the estimates are stated for f ∈ L², and they are informative
for f ∈ L² ∩ Lᵖ. Extending T to a bounded operator on all of Lᵖ is a separate density
argument, not carried out here.
Points of ℝⁿ are functions ι → ℝ, so distances and balls are taken in the sup norm.

The Calderón–Zygmund theorem, strong type (p, p) for 1 < p < 2. Let T be a bounded
linear operator on L²(ℝⁿ) satisfying the cancellation condition with dilation factor c: for
every b ∈ L² vanishing off a closed ball closedBall y r with integral zero,
∫_{ℝⁿ \ closedBall y (c r)} ‖T b‖ ≤ B ‖b‖₁. Then for every 1 < p < 2 and every f ∈ L²,
‖T f‖_p ≤ (p / (p - 1) · 2 C + p / (2 - p) · 4 ‖T‖²) ^ (1 / p) ‖f‖_p,
where C = 4 · 2ⁿ ‖T‖² + cⁿ + 4 B is the weak type (1, 1) constant of
ContinuousLinearMap.mul_volume_lt_enorm_le_of_setLIntegral_compl_closedBall_le. The bound is
vacuous unless f also lies in Lᵖ.
The Calderón–Zygmund theorem for an operator given by a kernel, strong type (p, p) for
1 < p < 2. Let T be a bounded linear operator on L²(ℝⁿ) such that T b x = ∫ K x y (b y) dy
for almost every x off any closed ball outside which b vanishes, where the kernel K satisfies
Hörmander's condition ∫_{dist x y' > 2 dist y y'} ‖K x y - K x y'‖ dx ≤ B for all y, y'.
Then for every 1 < p < 2 and every f ∈ L²,
‖T f‖_p ≤ (p / (p - 1) · 2 (2ⁿ (4 ‖T‖² + 1) + 4 B) + p / (2 - p) · 4 ‖T‖²) ^ (1 / p) ‖f‖_p.
The Calderón–Zygmund theorem, strong type (p, p) for 2 < p < ∞. Let T be a bounded
linear operator on L²(ℝⁿ) of Hilbert space valued functions whose adjoint T† satisfies the
cancellation condition with dilation factor c: for every b ∈ L² vanishing off a closed ball
closedBall y r with integral zero, ∫_{ℝⁿ \ closedBall y (c r)} ‖T† b‖ ≤ B ‖b‖₁. Then for every
2 < p < ∞ and every f ∈ L²,
‖T f‖_p ≤ (p · 2 C + p / (p - 2) · 4 ‖T‖²) ^ (1 - 1 / p) ‖f‖_p,
where C = 4 · 2ⁿ ‖T‖² + cⁿ + 4 B. This is the bound of
ContinuousLinearMap.eLpNorm_le_of_setLIntegral_compl_closedBall_le for T† at the conjugate
exponent p / (p - 1) ∈ (1, 2), transferred to T by duality.
The Calderón–Zygmund theorem for an operator whose adjoint is given by a kernel, strong
type (p, p) for 2 < p < ∞. Let T be a bounded linear operator on L²(ℝⁿ) of Hilbert space
valued functions such that T† b x = ∫ k x y (b y) dy for almost every x off any closed ball
outside which b vanishes, where k satisfies Hörmander's condition
∫_{dist x y' > 2 dist y y'} ‖k x y - k x y'‖ dx ≤ B for all y, y'. Then for every
2 < p < ∞ and every f ∈ L²,
‖T f‖_p ≤ (p · 2 (2ⁿ (4 ‖T‖² + 1) + 4 B) + p / (p - 2) · 4 ‖T‖²) ^ (1 - 1 / p) ‖f‖_p.
Formally, if T has kernel K, then T† has kernel k x y = (K y x)†, and the hypothesis is
Hörmander's condition for K with the roles of its two variables exchanged.
The Calderón–Zygmund theorem on Lᵖ, 1 < p < ∞, with a constant depending only on the
data. Let c be a dilation factor, M a bound on operator norms and B, B' cancellation
constants, all finite. Then for every 1 < p < ∞ there is a constant C with the following
property. Let T be a bounded linear operator on L²(ℝⁿ) of Hilbert space valued functions with
‖T‖ ≤ M, such that T and its adjoint satisfy the cancellation condition with dilation factor
c and constants B and B'. Then ‖T f‖_p ≤ C ‖f‖_p for every f ∈ L².
Explicit constants are given by ContinuousLinearMap.eLpNorm_le_of_setLIntegral_compl_closedBall_le
for p < 2 and by ContinuousLinearMap.eLpNorm_le_of_setLIntegral_compl_closedBall_adjoint_le for
p > 2. That C does not depend on T is what makes the theorem apply uniformly to families of
operators, such as the truncations of a singular integral.
