Preface This book mainly concerns with the Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier integral and series, which shall be simply termed the Bochner-Riesz means for short. Bochner-Riesz means is an important branch of multiple Fourier analysis initiated in the 1930s by Bochner. At that time, Bochner and his fellows restricted their studies to the cases when its degree is greater than the critical index. In the late of 1940s, Minde Cheng, Bochner’s student, carried out a systematic research about the Bochner-Riesz means. In the late 50s and early 60s, Stein contributed signiﬁcantly to the research where the degree is at and below the critical index. In the same period, Minde Cheng and his students also started the research on approximation of functions by the Bochner-Riesz means. Since the 1970s, inspired by Stein’s work, many researchers in Europe, America, Soviet Union and China have joined the study. A number of important or valuable results are achieved in this ﬁeld. Although the development in this ﬁeld took nearly half of a century with many achievements, there still remain many fundamental problems waiting to be resolved. To introduce these results and some remaining problems to Chinese scholars, Shanzhen Lu and Kunyang Wang published a monograph “Bochner-Riesz Means” in Chinese in 1988. We note that there have been some important progresses in this ﬁeld since then. To supplement the previous book with these important results, we wish to publish a new monograph in English with the present title. The book is aimed at giving a systematical introduction to fundamental theories of the Bochner-Riesz means and important achievements attained through the latest 50 years. Numerous results illustrate that the BochnerRiesz means oﬀer the most natural way for the extension of Fourier series from the case of single variable to that of several variables. This book consists of four chapters. The ﬁrst chapter is a brief introduction to the theory of multiple Fourier series. Chapter 2 and 3 contain main topics of this book which are closely related to each other. Chapter 2 introduces the Bochnervii

Preface

Riesz means of multiple Fourier integral, including Feﬀerman theorem which negates the Disc multiplier’s conjecture and the famous Carleson-Sj¨ olin theorem. For almost everywhere convergence of the Bochner-Riesz means below the critical index, we introduce Carbery-Rubio de Francia-Vega’s work. Some recent results on commutators of the Bochner-Riesz means are also included in the last section of this chapter. Chapter 3 concerns with the Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier series, including the theory and application of a class of function space (block space), developed by Taibleson, Weiss and other mathematicians, which is closely related to almost everywhere convergence of the Bochner-Riesz means. In addition, a class of function space named spaces generated by smooth blocks is also introduced in this chapter. Such spaces are closely related to the rate of convergence of the Bochner-Riesz means. Chapter 4 discusses the Bochner-Riesz means of conjugate Fourier integral and conjugate Fourier series, where the concepts of conjugate integral and conjugate series are based on the theory of singular integral by Calder´on-Zygmund. We would like to thank Kunyang Wang whose research work contributes nicely to this book. We have to give our thanks to Bolin Ma who provides some useful materials related to new progress in this ﬁeld since 1988. In addition, Shanzhen Lu wishes to express his gratitude to Guido Weiss for their collaboration in the early 1980s. This book is dedicated to Guido Weiss on the occasion of his 85th birthday. The book is also in memory of Minde Cheng, Yongsheng Sun and Mitchell H. Taibleson.

Chapter 1

An introduction to multiple Fourier series

Let Q := [−π, π)n . Sometimes [−π, π)n is denoted by Qn for emphasizing n-dimension. We denote by Lp (Q) the set of all complex-valued measurable functions whose modulus to the p-th power is integrable on Q and 2π-periodic in each of its variables for 1 ≤ p < ∞. The space Lp (Q) is a Banach space with the norm

1 |f (x)| dx

f p =

.

Q

We denote a set of all continuous functions on Q having period 2π in each of its variables by C(Q), which is a Banach space with the uniform norm f C = max{|f (x)| : x ∈ Q}. Let f ∈ L(Q) := L1 (Q). The Fourier coeﬃcients of f are Cm

f (x)e−ix·m dx, m ∈ Zn .

C1. An introduction to multiple Fourier series

According to diﬀerent methods of summation, partial sum of Fourier series has various forms. The rectangular and spherical partial sums are the two most common forms. The rectangular partial sum is deﬁned by Cl (f )eil·x , m ∈ Zn+ , (1.0.3) Sm (f ; x) = 0≤|lj |≤mj ,j=1,...,n

which can be expressed in the integral form deﬁned as 1 Sm (f ; x) = n f (x − t)Dm1 (t1 ) · · · Dmn (tn )dt, m ∈ Zn+ , π Q where

(1.0.4)

sin v + 12 u Dv (u) = 2 sin 12 u

is the Dirichlet kernel. The spherical partial sum is deﬁned by 0 SR (f ; x) = Cm (f )eim·x ,

R > 0,

|m|
where |m| = (m21 + · · · + m2n ) 2 . Obviously, there exist various ways of only taking the limit when we discuss the convergence or summation of the multiple Fourier series. We usually discuss several kinds of limits. The rectangular limit is deﬁned by lim

m1 ,..., mn →∞

Sm (f ; x).

The restricted rectangular limit is deﬁned as the rectangular limit, but we need to restrict mj 1 ,λ ∈ mk λ as m1 , . . . , mn → ∞ for some ﬁxed constant λ ≥ 1. The spherical limit which we will mainly discuss is deﬁned as lim SR (f ; x).

R→∞

For the rectangular sum, we introduce the arithmetic means (also called by the Fej´er means). The rectangular Fej´er means of f is the trigonometric polynomial σm (f ; x) =

m1 mn 1 ··· Sj1 ,...,jn (f ; x). (m1 + 1) · · · (mn + 1) j1 =0

jn =0

is the Fej´er kernel. For the spherical summation, we will mainly discuss the Bochner-Riesz means, that is, the following spherical trigonometric polynomial of R-th order α |m|2 α 1− 2 Cm (f )eim·x , R > 0, (1.0.7) SR (f ; x) = R |m|
where the power α is any complex number whose real part is larger than −1. α , we always restrict R > 0. For the We remark that, in the deﬁnition of SR α α sake of convenience, the notation S0 denotes lim SR , that is, S0α (f ; x) = R→0+

C0 (f ). In many aspects, it is more suitable for us to regard the spherical sum theory of multiple trigonometric series as the extension of the theory with one variable. For example, the uniqueness theory of the spherical summation of multiple trigonometric series, such as the foundational results, obtained by Cheng [Che1] illustrated these facts. As far as the convergence and approximation theory of the Fourier series is concerned, a series of facts we will introduce in the following also reﬂect this point. It is one of the reasons why we are more interested in the theory of spherical summation.

1.1

Basic properties of multiple Fourier series

In order to discuss the Fourier series, we begin with proving a basic property of Lp (Q), that is, the density of trigonometric polynomials. For the sake of convenience, we denote C(Q) by L∞ (Q).

4

C1. An introduction to multiple Fourier series

Theorem 1.1.1 The set of the trigonometric polynomials of n variables are dense in Lp (Q) for all 1 ≤ p ≤ +∞. Proof. By the fundamental facts in real analysis, we all know that C(Q) is a dense subset of Lp (Q). Hence, we ﬁrst prove that the set of trigonometric polynomials is dense in C(Q) by using the Stone theorem, and then ﬁnish the proof by noticing that the distance in Lp is not larger than the distance in C(Q). Here we complete the proof of the theorem by proving lim

m1 ,...,mn →∞

f − σm (f )p = 0.

(1.1.1)

For the sake of simplicity, let n = 2. By the equation (1.0.6), we have that f − σm1 ,m2 (f )p 1 = 2 f (x1 + t1 , x2 + t2 ) − f (x1 , x2 ) Km1 (t1 )Km2 (t2 )dt1 dt2 π Q p 1 f (· + t1 , · + t2 ) − f (·, ·) Km1 (t1 )Km2 (t2 )dt1 dt2 . ≤ 2 p π Q We denote the Lp modulus of continuity of f by ω(f ; μ, ν)p , that is, ω(f ; μ, ν)p =

sup |h|≤μ,|τ |≤ν

f (· + h, · + τ ) − f (·, ·)p .

Hence, it implies that f − σm1 ,m2 (f )p ≤

for m1 , m2 > 0. This completes the proof of Theorem 1.1.1.

Remark 1.1.1 From the proof of the above theorem, we actually transformed the multiple problem into the repeated estimate of unitary variable. That is to say, the proof is trivial in essence. In many cases, multiple rectangular problem can be simpliﬁed into repeated unitary variable problem.

6

C1. An introduction to multiple Fourier series

Consequently, many results in the unitary case can naturally be extended to the multiple rectangular case. In this case, we can not tell any essential diﬀerence between the unitary and the multiple. We have very little interest in this situation. Theorem 1.1.2 Let f ∈ L(Q). If Cm (f ) = 0, f or any m ∈ Zn , then we have f (x) = 0, for a.e. x ∈ Q. Proof. From the equations 1 Cm (f ) = (2π)n

f (x)e−im·x dx = 0, Q

with every m ∈ Zn , we conclude that f (x)P (x)dx = 0,

(1.1.3)

Q

for any trigonometric polynomial P (x). For any ﬁxed g ∈ C(Q) and any positive number ε, by Theorem 1.1.1, there exists a trigonometric polynomial Pε such that (1.1.4) g − Pε C < ε. It follows from the equations (1.1.3) and (1.1.4) that f (x)g(x)dx = f (x)(g(x) − Pε (x))dx ≤ ε |f (x)|dx. Q

Then this implies that

Q

Q

f (x)g(x)dx = 0 Q

for any g ∈ C(Q) which implies f = 0. This completes the proof of the theorem.

Corollary 1.1.1 Let f ∈ L(Q) and

|Cm (f )| < +∞. Then there exists

m

g ∈ C(Q) such that f (x) = g(x) for almost everywhere x ∈ Q. For the space L2 (Q), the following basic theorem is the same as the one for the case n = 1.

Theorem 1.1.3 Let f ∈ L2 (Q). Then we have

|Cm (f )|2 =

|m|
This is equivalent to

|Cm (f )|2 ≤

|m|
1 f 22 (2π)n

for any R > 0. Thus SR (f ) is a Cauchy sequence of L2 (Q). Consequently, there exists g ∈ L2 (Q) such that SR (f ) → g in the sense of L2 norm. So we have σ(g) = σ(f ). It follows from Theorem 1.1.2 that g = f . On the other hand, since SR (f ) converges to f in L2 as R goes to ∞, we have SR (f )2 → f 2 . It follows that

Corollary 1.1.2 Suppose f ∈ C (k) (Q) with k > n2 . Then we have

Proof. Let α = (α1 , . . . , αn ) ∈ Zn+ with |α|1 = α1 + · · · + αn ≤ k. Then we have ∂ α1 +···+αn f (x) Dα (f )(x) = ∈ C(Q). ∂xα1 1 · · · ∂xαnn By the integration by parts, we obtain that

(1.1.6)

|α|1 =k

Obviously, there exists a constant C = Ck,n > 0 such that k |m|2k = |m1 |2 + · · · + |mn |2 ≤ C |m1 |2α1 · · · |mn |2αn .

Then, the inequalities (1.1.6) and (1.1.7) can be written as

|Cm (f )|2 b2m < +∞,

(1.1.8)

|m|k ≤ Cbm .

(1.1.9)

Thus from (1.1.8) and (1.1.10), we can deduce that |Cm (f )| < +∞.

It should be pointed out that Corollary 1.1.2 gives a suﬃcient condition for the Fourier series to be absolutely convergent. Of course, this result is rather sketchy. Corollary 1.1.3 (Riemann-Lebesgue Theorem) If f ∈ L(Q), then we have lim |Cm (f )| = 0. |m|→∞

Proof. For any ε > 0, there exists g ∈ C(Q) such that the function h = f − g satisﬁes h1 < ε. Since there hold Cm (f ) = Cm (g) + Cm (h) and |Cm (h)| ≤ h1 , we have that lim |Cm (f )| ≤ lim |Cm (g)| + ε.

|m|→∞

|m|→∞

Theorem 1.1.3 impies that lim |Cm (g)| = 0.

|m|→∞

10

C1. An introduction to multiple Fourier series

Hence, we obtain lim |Cm (f )| ≤ ε.

|m|→∞

This completes the proof.

1.2

Poisson summation formula

Poisson summation formula is an important tool for investigating multiple Fourier series. Let f ∈ L(Rn ). The formal series f (x + 2πm), x ∈ Rn (1.2.1) m∈Zn

is called the periodization of the function f . If the series (1.2.1) converges to a function in some sense (some metric sense or some limit sense), then this sum function is undoubtedly 2π-periodic. Theorem 1.2.1 Let f ∈ L(Rn ). The series (1.2.1) converges absolutely almost everywhere and the sum function belongs to L(Q), with the Fourier series being f(m)eim·x . (1.2.2) m∈Zn

That is to say, f(m), m ∈ Zn , are the Fourier coeﬃcients of f (x + 2πm). m∈Zn

Proof. By Levi’s theorem, we have |f (x + 2πm)|dx |f (x + 2πm)|dx = Q Q = |f (x)|dx m =

This completes the proof Theorem 1.2.1.

Theorem 1.2.2 Let f ∈ C(Rn ). If there exist δ > 0 and A > 0 such that |f (x)| ≤ A(1 + |x|)−n−δ , then we have

|f(y)| ≤ A(1 + |y|)−n−δ ,

f (x + 2πm) =

m∈Zn

f(m)eim·x

(1.2.3)

(1.2.4)

m∈Zn

for all x ∈ Rn . The equality 1.2.4 is the so called Poisson summation formula. Proof. By the assumption (1.2.3), we have that f ∈ L(Rn ) and |f(m)| < +∞. m∈Zn

According to Theorem 1.2.1, we get f(m)eim·x , f (x + 2πm) = m∈Zn

m∈Zn

for a.e. x ∈ Rn . Since the functions on the both sides of (1.2.3) are continuous, the above equation holds everywhere, that is, (1.2.4) holds.

12

C1. An introduction to multiple Fourier series We need the following formulas which need weaker assumptions.

Theorem 1.2.3 Suppose that f ∈ L(Rn ) is continuous except at x = 0. Let f (x)eix·y dx. (1.2.5) g(y) = Rn

1.3 Convergence and the opposite results

15

Now, by the condition (i), we know that the function on the right side of (1.2.9) is a continuous periodic function, whose Fourier coeﬃcient is Cm (G). So this function is G(x), that is to say, the equation (1.2.9) holds. This completes the proof.

Remark 1.2.1 From the proof, we can conclude that the continuity of f is not intrinsic, as long as f is continuous at non-zero grid points. Actually the conditions can be much weaker, as long as those points are Lebesgue points. Remark 1.2.2 We can make an explanation about Theorem 1.2.3 in aspect of form: the function g deﬁned by (1.2.5) can be regarded as the Fourier inverse transform of f , then gˆ = f . Now we can trace back to the equation (1.2.4) in Theorem 1.2.2, just executing the summation in spherical method for the left side. The three theorems in this section are all called the Poisson summation formulas.

1.3

Convergence and the opposite results

For the convergence of Fourier series, the most wonderful result in the unitary case has been established by Carleson-Hunt. They have conﬁrmed the conjecture posed by Lusin, that is, f ∈ Lp ([−π, π)) ⇒ Sm (f, x) → f (x) holds for a.e. x ∈ [−π, π) and 1 < p < ∞, as m → ∞. The case of multi-dimension is much more complicated. The convergence of the multi-dimensional rectangular partial sum is not good. Feﬀerman [Fe2] proved that there exists a continuous periodic binary function f (x, y), whose rectangular Fourier partial sum Sm,n (f ; x, y) diverges everywhere as m → ∞ and n → ∞. However, it is much better when we take the square limit. At this time, the multi-dimensional analogy of the conjecture still holds. In the 1970s, many researchers have proven that f ∈ Lp (Q) ⇒ Sk,...,k (f ; x) → f (x) holds for a.e. x ∈ Q and 1 < p < ∞, as k → ∞.

16

C1. An introduction to multiple Fourier series Later, Sj¨olin [Sj1] moved forward with the above results and proved that f ∈ L(log+ L)n log+ log + L(Q) ⇒ Sk,...,k (f ; x) → f (x)

holds for a.e. x ∈ Q, as k → ∞. Here, we prove the following theorem about the convergence of the spherical sum.

2n Theorem 1.3.1 If n > 1, then for every p ∈ 1, n+1 , there exists f ∈ p L (Q) such that 0 (f ; x) = +∞, (1.3.1) lim sup SR R→∞

for a.e. x ∈ Q. Definition 1.3.1 We call a set A in R a linearly independent set if for any ﬁnite elements of A, a1 , . . . , am , the linear combination with integer coeﬃcients p1 a1 + · · · + pm am equals to zero if and only if the coeﬃcients p1 = p2 = · · · = pm = 0. Definition 1.3.2 Let x ∈ Rn . If {|x + 2πm| : m ∈ Zn } is a linearly independent set, then we say x ∈ S and denote by S c = Rn \S. Lemma 1.3.1 Let n > 1. Then |S c | = 0. Proof. Arbitrarily arrange the elements of Zn as {mj }∞ j=1 . Let A = {A = (a1 , . . . , ak ) : aj ∈ Zn , j = 1, . . . , k, k ∈ N}. Choose any A ∈ A such that A = 0 := (0, . . . , 0) and let ΦA (y) =

k

aj |y + 2πmj |.

j=1

It is obvious that ΦA (y) is an analytic function deﬁned on simply connected domain Rn \2πZn and continuous on Rn . For A = 0, then ΦA is not zero function (notice that ΦA (y) is unbounded near some points). Denote

1.3 Convergence and the opposite results

the set of all the zero points of ΦA by ZA . By the theory of analytic function, we have |ZA | = 0. Then we also have Z A = 0, A∈A

together with the fact Sc =

this leads to

|S c

Lemma 1.3.2 Suppose that K(t) is a real bounded measurable function deﬁned on (1, ∞) and for every λ ≥ 0, there always exists 1 T lim K(t)eiλt dt = b(λ). (1.3.2) T →+∞ T 1 If the set {λ ≥ 0 : b(λ) = 0} is countable, denoted by {λj }∞ j=1 , and linearly independent, then we have ∞

Suppose that V (t), W (t) are both positive increasing functions on (0, +∞) and let Uθ (t) = (V (t))1−θ (W (t))θ , for 0 ≤ θ ≤ 1. If

|A0 (t)| ≤ V (t), |Aα (t)| ≤ W (t),

for α > β > 0, then we have |Aβ (t)| ≤ CU β (t), α

where C = Cα,β is a constant. Proof. Because of |A0 (t)| ≤ V (t), V (t) is a non-negative increasing function and t β (t − s)β−1 A0 (s)ds. (1.3.14) A (t) = β 0

On the other hand, (η(x) − 1)

is an integrable function supported on {x : |x| < 1}, whose normal Fourier transform denoted by b1 , and b1 ∈ C0∞ (Rn ), where C0∞ (Rn ) refers to a class of inﬁnitely diﬀerentiable functions whose derivatives of any order all vanish at inﬁnity. We deﬁne γα n f (y) = (2π) + b1 (y) . (1.3.29) |y|n−α For any β = (β1 , . . . , βn ) ∈ Zn+ and γ = (γ1 , . . . , γn ) ∈ Zn+ , the Fourier transform is as follows: " " ! ! F (−ix)γ (Dβ f )(x) (y) = D γ F (D β f ) (y) " ! = D γ (iy)β F (f ) (y) " ! = D γ (iy)β G(y) . Here, we utilize a theorem on the operation law of the Fourier transform (see [SW1]).

1.3 Convergence and the opposite results

33

Since G(y)(iy)β vanishes when |y| < 1/2 and equals to (iy)β when |y| > 1, for any β ∈ Zn+, as long as γ ∈ Zn+ big enough, we can make sure that

D γ (iy)β G(y) ∈ L(Rn ). Then we have

# "$ !

(2π)n F Dγ (iy)β G(y) (−x) = (−ix)γ Dβ f (x).

The left side of the above equation is the normal the Fourier transform of the function in L(Rn ) and thus it is bounded. Taking β = 0, we get that (1.3.30) |f (x)| = O |x|−N , as |x| → ∞, for any N > 0. So we obtain that f ∈ L(Rn ) and hence it follows from f = G in normal sense that f(0) = G(0) = 0 and

1.4

Linear summation

Similar to the unitary case, in order to investigate functions by the method of Fourier series which has bad convergence property, we introduce various kinds of linear means. We only discuss some special linear means here. Suppose that Φ ∈ C(Rn ) satisﬁes (i) |Φ(x)| ≤ A(1 + |x|)−n−δ , δ > 0; (ii) Φ(0) = 1. For f ∈ L(Q) and ε > 0, we deﬁne the series by σεΦ (f )(x) =

Φ(εm)Cm (f )eim·x ,

(1.4.1)

which is an absolutely convergent series by the condition (i), which is called the Φ means of σ(f ). We consider the relation between σεΦ (f )(x) and f (x) as ε → 0+ .

Theorem 1.4.1 Suppose f ∈ Lp (Q) (1 ≤ p ≤ ∞). If Φ also satisﬁes the following condition: (iii) |Φ(y)| ≤ A(1 + |y|)−n−δ , δ > 0, then (1.4.1) converges to f in the norm of Lp (Q) and converges to f at the Lebesgue points of f . Proof. By the condition (iii), we have that the function ϕ(y) := (2π)n Φ(−y) (∈ C(Rn ))

(1.4.2)

belongs to L(Rn ). It follows that ϕ = Φ. By letting ϕε (y) = ε−n ϕ(ε−1 y), we get ϕ ε (x) = Φ(εx). Since ϕε satisﬁes the conditions of Theorem 1.2.2, we have ϕ0ε (x + 2πm) = Φ(εm)eim·x ∈ C(Q). (1.4.3) Kε (x) := Taking convolution on Q, we get that 1 f (y)Kε (x − y)dy f ∗ Kε (x) := (2π)n Q 1 −im·y im·x f (y)e dyΦ(εm)e = (2π)n Q m∈Zn = Cm (f )Φ(εm)eim·x =

By the generalized Minkowski’s inequality, we have Φ σε (f ) ≤ 1 f p Kε 1 . p (2π)n It easily follows that σεΦ is a bounded linear operator from Lp (Q) to Lp (Q) and its operator norm satisﬁes that Φ σε ≤ 1 Kε 1 (2π)n 1 ≤ |ϕε (x + 2πm)|dx (2π)n m∈Zn Q 1 |ϕε (x)|dx = (2π)n Rn 1 |ϕ(x)|dx.

Now we turn to proving the convergence of σεΦ at the Lebesgue points. We might as well take the origin point into consideration. By (1.4.3) and (1.4.4), we obtain σεΦ (f )(0)

α If α > α0 = n−1 2 , or more generally, Reα > α0 , then we have B ∈ n α n α L(R ). Consequently, Φ is the Fourier transform of (2π) B and satisﬁes the conditions in Theorem 1.4.1. However, for the case of Reα ≤ α0 , Φα is no longer the Fourier transform of the integrable functions. The index (or order) α0 = n−1 2 is called the critical index both in Bochner-Riesz summation of the Fourier series and the Fourier integral. The index whose real part is bigger than α0 is called over the critical index. For the indivisible intrinsic relations between the Fourier integral and the Fourier series, we will discuss the Fourier integral ﬁrstly in the next chapter and focus on the discussion below the critical index. Chapter 3 will get back to the Bochner-Riesz means of the series and focus on the discussion for the critical index situations.

R→∞

holds if and only if there exists a constant Cp such that the inequality α (f )p ≤ Cp f p BR

holds, where Cp is independent of R.

46

C2. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier integral

Proof. Assume α lim BR (f ) − f p = 0

R→∞

α (f ) has bound with for every f ∈ Lp (Rn ). Thus, we obtain that BR p respect to R. It follows from the uniform boundedness theorem in functional analysis that α (f )p ≤ Cp f p . BR

Conversely, we suppose that there exists a constant Cp such that the inequality α BR (f )p ≤ Cp f p holds for any f ∈ Lp (Rn ). Notice that the space D(Rn ), the class of inﬁnitely diﬀerential functions which have compact support, is dense in Lp (Rn ). It suﬃces to prove that α (f ) − f p = 0 lim BR

R→∞

holds for every f ∈ D(Rn ). Since f ∈ D(Rn ) ⊂ S (Rn ), we have fˆ ∈ S (Rn ), where S (Rn ) denotes the Schwartz class. Combining Lebesgue’s control convergence theorem with the inversion formula of the Fourier transform of f , we have that

y α dy = f (x), fˆ(y)eiy·x Φα lim BR (f ; x) = lim R→∞ R→∞ Rn R for a.e. x ∈ Rn . Therefore, in order to prove α lim |BR (f ; x) − f (x)|p dx = 0, R→∞ Rn

α (f ; x) − f (x)|p can be controlled by an integrable we need to prove that |BR function. This can be easily done, (see Pan [P1]).

After summing up the Lp convergence of Bochner-Riesz means of Fourier integral of f to the Lp boundedness of Bochner-Riesz means, we can deduce the question to the Lp -boundedness of another simpler operator. The operator can be deﬁned just by the Fourier transform. Let f ∈ S (Rn ), we deﬁne the Bochner-Riesz operator Tα α f (x) = Φα (x)fˆ(x), T

holds for every f ∈ Lp (Rn ). Proof. Suppose that Tα has a bounded extension on Lp (Rn ). For f ∈ α (x). Therefore, S (Rn ), it is easy to see that Tα f = B α ∗f , where B α (x) = Φ we have B1α (f )p ≤ Cp f p , f ∈ Lp (Rn ). By the change of variables x = Rx, u =

u and letting g(u) = f ( R ), we get that

= B1α (g; x). Hence, we have α (f ; x)pp BR

The proof for the other part of the theorem is trivial. This completes the proof of Theorem 2.2.2.

Some basic facts on multipliers

Bochner-Riesz operator is a kind of multipliers. In order to investigate the Bochner-Riesz operator, we begin with establishing some fundamental properties. Definition 2.3.1 Let m ∈ L∞ (Rn ). The linear operator Tm deﬁned by * ˆ f ∈ L2 (Rn ) Lp (Rn ) T m f (x) = m(x)f (x), is called a multiplier. Moreover, if Tm satisﬁes Tm f p ≤ Cp f p ,

f ∈ L2 (Rn )

*

Lp (Rn ),

then we call Tm the Lp -bounded multiplier with the multiplier function m(x), and the minimal constant Cp satisfying the above inequality is called the norm of Tm , denoted by Tm p . Theorem 2.3.1 Let p

1 p

+ p1 = 1. Then Tm is a Lp -bounded multiplier if and

only if Tm is a L -bounded multiplier and Tm p = Tm p . Proof. Assume that Tm is a Lp -bounded multiplier. By the property of the Fourier transform, we have that < Tm f, g > = < mfˆ, gˆ > = < f, Tm g >, which implies Tm f p = sup | < Tm f, g > | ≤ Tm p f p .

g p ≤1

Therefore, Tm is also a Lp -bounded multiplier and Tm p ≤ Tm p . Replacing p by p , similar discussions lead to Tm p ≤ Tm p . This completes the proof.

2.3 Some basic facts on multipliers

49

Theorem 2.3.2 If Tm is a L2 -bounded multiplier, then Tm 2 = m∞ . Proof. that

Firstly, by the fact m ∈ L∞ and the Plancherel theorem, we have Tm f 2 = mfˆ2 ≤ m∞ f 2 ,

which yields Tm 2 ≤ m∞ . Next, to show the inverse inequality Tm 2 ≥ m∞ , we denote by E = {x : |m(x)| > Tm 2 }. Suppose that |E| = 0 and let fˆ = χE . By the inequality 1 1 Tm f 2 |E| 2 < mfˆ2 = Tm f 2 ≤ Tm 2 |E| 2 ,

we can deduce a contradiction. Hence, we have |E| = 0.

Theorem 2.3.3 Let 1 < p < ∞. If Tm is a Lp -bounded multiplier, then we have Tm 2 ≤ Tm p . Proof. Without loss of generality, we assume that 1 < p < 2. By the assumption and Theorem 2.3.1, we obtain Tm f p ≤ Tm p f p := k0 f p and Tm f p ≤ Tm p f p = Tm p f p := k1 f p respectively. According to the Riesz-Thorin convexity theorem, we can get that there exists 0 < t < 1 such that Tm f 2 ≤ k01−t k1t f 2 = Tm p f 2 , which leads to Tm 2 ≤ Tm p .

C2. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier integral

Theorem 2.3.4 Let 1 < p < ∞. If Tm is a Lp (Rn+1 )-bounded multiplier, then Tm is also a Lp (Rn )-bounded multiplier. Remark 2.3.1 To express the meaning of Theorem 2.3.4 more accurately, we rewrite Tm f (x) as Tm(x) f (x), where x = (ξ, η) ∈ Rn+1 , ξ ∈ R and η ∈ Rn . Then Theorem 2.3.4 shows that if the multiplier Tm satisﬁes Tm f Lp (Rn+1 ) ≤ Tm p f Lp (Rn+1 ) , then the following inequality Tm(ξ,.) gLp (Rn ) ≤ Cp gLp (Rn ) holds for a.e. ξ ∈ R and Cp ≤ Tm p . Proof. Let

Let f (x) = h(ξ)g(η) and α(x) = γ(ξ)β(η), where h, γ ∈ S (R) and g, β ∈ S (Rn ). The above inequality can be rewritten as m(ξ, η)ˆ g (η) β(η)dη h(ξ) γ (ξ)dξ n R

Then we rewrite the above inequality as TM h(ξ)γ(ξ)dξ ≤ Tm p hLp (R) gLp (Rn ) βLq (Rn ) γLq (R) , R

which implies that TM hLp (R) ≤ Tm p gLp (Rn ) βLq (Rn ) hLp (R) . Hence, we have TM p ≤ Tm p gLp (Rn ) βLq (Rn ) . By Theorem 2.3.2, Theorem 2.3.3 and the above inequality, we obtain g (η)β(η)dη ≤ Tm p gLp (Rn ) βLq (Rn ) , n m(ξ, η)ˆ R

which can be rewritten as n Tm(ξ,η) g(η)β(η)dη ≤ Tm p gLp (Rn ) βLq (Rn ) .

It obviously follows from the inequality 2.3.1 that the conclusion of this theorem is true.

The disc conjecture and Feﬀerman theorem

In Section 2.2, we have deﬁned the Bochner-Riesz operator Tα by α ˆ T+ α f (x) = Φ (x)f (x),

for f ∈ S (Rn ). We notice that when α = 0, Φ0 (x) is just the characteristic function of the unit ball. The conjecture that the corresponding operator T0 is bounded 2n 2n < p < n−1 is just the disc conjecture which is referred on Lp (Rn ) with n+1 for a long time. The conjecture is based on the fact that the conclusion is correct when n = 1. However, for the case of high dimension (n ≥ 2), Feﬀerman [Fe3] published an amazing result: T0 is only bounded on L2 (Rn ). Therefore, except for p = 2, the disc conjecture is false. In the following, we ﬁrst introduce the result of Feﬀerman.

52

C2. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier integral

Theorem 2.4.1 Let n ≥ 2. The operator T0 is bounded on Lp (Rn ) if and only if p = 2. For p = 2, by the deﬁnition of the multiplier T0 , it is obvious that T0 is bounded on L2 (Rn ). So the most essential part of the proof of the theorem lies in giving the conclusion that T0 is unbounded in Lp (Rn ), p = 2. Before proving, we need some lemmas. Lemma 2.4.1 Suppose that p > 2, vj , 1 ≤ j ≤ k, is the unit vector in R2 and , Lj = x ∈ R2 : x · vj ≥ 0 is a half-plane. Deﬁne the operator Tj by ˆ + T j f (x) = χLj (x)f (x),

f ∈ S,

where χE (x) is the characteristic function of the set E. If T0 is bounded on Lp (R2 ), then for any fj ∈ Lp (R2 ) (1 ≤ j ≤ k), we have ⎛ ⎛ ⎞1 ⎞1 k k 2 2 ⎝ ⎝ 2⎠ 2⎠ |Tj fj | |fj | ≤ Cp . j=1 j=1 p

Proof. Let Djr be a circle, centered at rvj , with a radius of r. Obviously, Djr → Lj as r → ∞. We deﬁne the multiplier Tjr by r ˆ r T+ j f (x) = χDj (x)f (x),

f ∈ S.

For f ∈ S , by the equation Tj f (x) − Tjr f (x) = =

Therefore, in order to prove Lemma 2.4.1, we merely need to prove that 1 r 2 12 2 2 |fj | |Tj fj | ≤ Cp , p

Denote by

Proof. In order to construct E, we ﬁrst introduce a notation. Give a triangle ABC with the bottom edge AB being horizontal and the height being h. Then we extend AC to A and BC to B , such that the distances from the point A, B to the edge AB are both equal to h (h > h). Joining the midpoint D of AB with A , and D with B , we get two triangles ADA and BDB . We call the two triangles as the ones which grow out of the original triangle ABC from the height of h to h . Now we proceed to 0 construct the measurable set E. Give an √ equilateral triangle , with the bottom edge [0, 1] and the height h0 = 3/2. Let h0 < h1 < · · · < hm . The triangle obtain 0 grows from the height h0 to h1 and we get two triangles and , while and grow from the height h1 to h2 and we get four triangles in all. Thus we make an induction by this way until the m-th time, 2m triangles in all, denoted by j , 1 ≤ j ≤ 2m . Set m

and let

√ √ 3 3 1 1 1 1+ , . . . , hm = 1 + + ··· + . h1 = 2 2 2 2 m+1

It is easy to check that |E| ≤ 17. We next construct ﬁnite disjoint rectangles Rj (1 ≤ j ≤ k). We divide [0, 1] equally into 2m intervals and let I be anyone of them. It is obvious that I must be the bottom edge of some j . We denote j by (I) and the vertex of j as P (I). The region I formed by the extension lines of two edges of (I) is called the below extension region of (I). Make a rectangle R(I) in this extension region as in Figure 2.2, such that the longer edge of R(I) is log m.

Obviously, the shorter edge of R(I) is ∼ |I|. Then, we have |R(I)| ∼ 2−m log m. is the union of two rectangles which share the same As in Lemma 2.4.2, R(I) edge with the shorter edge of R(I) and has the same size as R(I). Though cannot include (I), by the construction we can see that R(I) 1 R(I) ∩ (I) ≥ R(I) . 10

Figure 2.2.

Denote the 2m equally divided intervals of [0, 1] by I1 , I2 , . . . , I2m . For every Ij with 1 ≤ j ≤ 2m , we get R(Ij ) correspondingly. From the last equation above, we have that the ﬁnite rectangles {R(Ij ) : 1 ≤ j ≤ 2m } satisfy conclusion I in the lemma. Next, if we choose m big enough such that log m > 17/η, then there holds m

Thus conclusion II of the lemma is also met. Finally, for diﬀerent Ii and Ij , we have P (Ii ) = P (Ij ). Then the below extension regions of (Ii ) and (Ij ) are disjoint and so are R(Ii ) and R(Ij ). This completes the proof. Next we will give the proof of Theorem 2.4.1. Proof. By Theorem 2.3.4, it suﬃces to show that T0 is unbounded on Lp (R2 ), p = 2. According to Theorem 2.3.1, we merely need to prove that T0 is unbounded on Lp (R2 ) with p > 2.

In the last section, we obtained the conclusions about Lp -boundedness of the Bochner-Riesz operator T0 . We now turn to investigating the Lp boundedness of the operators Tα (α > 0). In this ﬁeld, Herz [He1] gave a necessary condition for Tα (α > 0) being bounded on Lp (Rn ). p n Theorem 2.5.1 Let 0 < α < n−1 2 and p > 1. If Tα is bounded on L (R ), then we have 2n 2n

60

C2. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier integral

Then f0 ∈ S and by the conditions of the theorem, we get that Tα f0 ∈ Lp . Let

Φ(x) = Tα f0 (x).

Taking the Fourier transform on both sides of the equation, we have Φ(x) = Φα (x), which leads to Φ(x) = B α (x). By the expression of B α (x), we get that Tα f0 ∈ Lp if and only if

p > n.

By repeating the above arguments for (n + 1) times, we get the inequality (2.6.1). Since the operator Pλ is of type (1, ∞), combining Theorem 2.6.1 with the Riesz-Thorin convex theorem, we can get the following theorem. Theorem 2.6.2 Let 1 ≤ p ≤ 2 and 1p + 1q = 1. Then Pλ is of type (p, q) and satisﬁes Pλ f q ≤ Cλ−n/q f p . In order to prove Carleson-Sj¨ olin theorem, we should turn to investigatp 2 ing the L (R )-boundedness of the oscillatory integral Pλ f (ξ) = eiλϕ(x,ξ) ψ(x, ξ)f (x)dx R2

for ξ ∈ R2 .

Let y1 = s + t, y2 = st and set y = (y1 , y2 ). We put ϕ(x, y) = Φ(x, s) + Φ(x, t), ψ(x, y) = Ψ(x, s)Ψ(x, t), and let F (y) = Jf (s)f (t), where J is the Jacobi determinant of the transformation, that is, J= Then we have

on F (I 2 ) × I 2 , we see that if Pλ is replaced by Pλ , Theorem 2.6.5 still holds. Now let 1 (4) Sλ f (x) = λ 2 −α Pλ f (x), for x ∈ F (I 2 ). By Theorem 2.6.5, we have that Sλ f L4 (F (I 2 )) ≤ Cε λ−α+ε f L4 (I 2 ) . Hence, by taking ε small enough, we obtain the following corollary. Corollary 2.6.2 There exists a positive constant δ > 0 such that the inequality Sλ f L4 (F (I 2 )) ≤ Cλ−δ f L4 (I 2 ) holds. Remark 2.6.1 It is easy to see that F (I 2 ) = [−1.5, 2.5]2 \ [−0.5, 1.5]2 . If F (I 2 ) is replaced by the set F (I 2 ) = [−2.5, 3.5]2 \ [−1.5, 2.5]2 , we can still obtain the same result as Corollary 2.6.2. 2.6.2 Proof of Carleson-Sj¨ olin theorem. 4 , the In Section 2.6.1, we mentioned that, under the condition p > 3+2α p boundedness of Tα is equivalent to the L -boundedness of the operator 1 ei|x−y| f (y)dy, P f (x) = 3 |x−y|≥1 |x − y| 2 +α

It is not diﬃcult to prove that the integral 1 ei|x−y| f (y)dy 3 |x−y|<1 |x − y| 2 +α can be controlled by some constant times of M f (x).

Proposition 2.6.1 There exists a constant C > 0 such that the inequality Sλ f L4 (I 2 ) ≤ Cf L4 (I 2 ) holds. Proof. Before the proof of the proposition, we recall the meaning of the set F (I 2 ) in section 6.1. Let F1 and F2 be two squares whose centers are the same as I 2 and edges both parallel to the axes, with lengths 2 and 4. Then we have F (I 2 ) = F2 \ F1 . In the following, for any square ω with edges paralleling to the axes, we similarly deﬁne F (ω). We denote by F1 (ω)

74

C2. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier integral

and F2 (ω) two squares, whose centers are the same as ω and edges are both parallel to the axes, with lengths 2 and 4 times of the one of ω. Then, we deﬁne F (ω) = F2 (ω) \ F1 (ω). Obviously, for x ∈ ω and y ∈ F (ω), we have |x − y| ≥ 12 × (the length of ω). In addition, any square ω whose edges are parallel to the axes, we denote by 12 ω the square which has the same center as ω and edges paralleling to the axes, with half length of ω. Similarly, we deﬁne F (ω) = F2 (ω) \ F1 (ω), where F1 (ω) and F2 (ω) are two squares, whose centers are the same as ω and edges are both parallel to the axes, with lengths 4 and 6 times of the one of ω. Let Ωk be all of the binary squares in the square of [−2, 2] × [−2, 2] with length 2−k and Ω∗k be a collection of all the squares which consist of all four squares belonging to Ωk . It is obvious that the edge length of the square in Ω∗k is 2−k+1 . For any x ∈ I 2 , but not in the boundary of any binary squares, noticing that the measure of the set consisted by all those boundaries is zero in two dimensional sense, obviously there exists an unique square in Ω∗k , such that the half small square which is concentrically contracted from the original square contains x. We denote the unique square by ωk∗ (x). Then, x ∈ 12 ωk∗ (x). Since 1 I2 = [−2, 2] × [−2, 2] , 2 we denote by ∗ ω−1 (x) = [−2, 2] × [−2, 2]. Set A(x, D) = λ

Ak (x) = A(x, ωk−1 ∗ (x) \ ω ∗ (x) is the union of By the construction of ωk∗ (x), we have that ωk−1 k 12 squares in the same size, with length 2−k . The arrangement of the 12 squares at least falls into one of the following three cases. Case 1. (see Figure 2.3)

Figure 2.3: Case 1.

The 12 squares share either the same edges or points with ωk∗ (x), which are denoted by Di , 1 ≤ i ≤ 12. Obviously, for any i, 1 ≤ i ≤ 12, we have 1 F (Di ) ⊃ ωk∗ (x). 2 Thus, we have x ∈ F (Di ). Then we have Ak (x) =

The other 4 squares have no common points with ωk∗ (x), denoted by Dj , 9 ≤ j ≤ 12. It is evident that for any Dj , 9 ≤ j ≤ 12, we have 1 F (Dj ) ⊃ ωk∗ (x). 2 Then we have Ak (x) =

Remark 2.6.2 Let us recall the proof of Carleson-Sj¨ olin theorem in this section. Firstly, the conclusions of Theorems 2.6.1 to 2.6.3 cannot be applied directly to the proof of Carleson-Sj¨ olin theorem. The reason for that lies in the fact that when ϕ(x, y) = |x − y| is restricted, the condition det

∂ 2 ϕ(x, y) ∂xi ∂yi

= 0

does not hold. But when n = 2, a special method could be utilized to conquer the diﬃculty. Therefore, the method of proving in this section is not suitable for the case n > 2. To this end, ones are trying to ﬁnd out new methods of Carleson-Sj¨ olin theorem, such that the new one is feasible in solving the following speculation: Tα , α > 0, is bounded on Lp (Rn ), where n > 2 and and 2n 2n 2, yet they oﬀer a powerful tool in solving other problems. For this reason, we will introduce the methods of Cordoba and Tomas-Stein.

2.7

Kakeya maximal function

To investigate the Lp -boundedness of the operator Tα , we can use the method for proving the Lp -boundedness of partial sum operator in the case of one dimension. It is well known that in the case of one dimension, the Hilbert transform plays an important role in solving questions and the estimate of Hilbert transform can be reduced to Hardy-Littlewood maximal function. However it is diﬀerent when it comes to the cases of high dimension. For instance, when Cordoba considered the case of two-dimension, what he met with was not Hardy-Littlewood maximal function but the maximal function about the

2.7 Kakeya maximal function

79

rectangle with some eccentricity, which is called Kakeya maximal function. The Kakeya maximal function is deﬁned as follows. If given δ > 0 and N > 0, we denote by R = {rectangle R : |R| = N δ × δ}, that is, the length of the longer edge of R is N δ and the shorter is δ. Let the direction of the long edge be the direction of the rectangle. Then we deﬁne 1 |f (y)|dy, MN f (x) = sup R x |R| R where sup is taken over all the R ∈ R including x, and N is the eccentricity. Cordoba [Co1] has proven the following basic estimate on MN .

Theorem 2.7.1 There exists a constant C independent of δ and N , such that 1 MN f 2 ≤ C(log 3N ) 2 f 2 for all f ∈ L2 (R2 ). Proof. Since the proof of Theorem 2.7.1 is rather long, it will be convenient to divide it into seven steps. Step I. Restrict the direction of the rectangle. Divide the range of the direction of rectangle [0, 2π) into eight parts as 8 7π π !π π , ··· , 2π = [0, 2π) = 0, Ii . 4 4 2 4 !

i MN f (x).

i=1 i Since the method of dealing with all these MN f (x) is the same, we merely need to prove that 1 1 f 2 ≤ C(log 3N ) 2 f 2 MN 1 f by M f . for any f ∈ L2 (R2 ). For convenience, we still denote MN N

Step II. Restrict the support of f .

Dividing the plane into squares with the length of the edge of N δ along the axas as Qα , R2 = 2 where the length of the edge of Qα is N δ and Qα Qβ = ∅ for α = β. Set fα (x) = f (x)χQα (x). It is obvious that f (x) =

fα (x),

for a.e. x ∈ R2 . Denoted by Q∗ = 3Q, the length of the edge of Q∗ is 3 times of Q and the two have the same center. 2 When x ∈ Q∗α , and Q∗α Q∗β = ∅, we have MN fβ (x) = 0. Consequently, there exist at most 52 terms in the sum Therefore, it follows that 2 MN fα (x) ≤ 54 |MN fα (x)|2 . |MN f (x)|2 ≤ α α

For each fα , if the inequality 1

MN fα 2 ≤ C(log 3N ) 2 fα 2 holds, then the conclusion of the theorem immediately follows from (2.7.1). Consequently, the proof of the theorem can be reduced to prove that if suppf ⊂ Q and the edge length of Q is N δ, then 1

MN f 2 ≤ C(log 3N ) 2 f 2

holds. It is obvious that, for such f , we must have MN f (x) = 0 for x ∈ (Q∗ )c . Step III. The linearization of the maximal operator.

For any 1 x ∈ Qi,p , by the deﬁnition of MN f , there exists a rectangle Ri,p (x) such that 2 |f (y)|dy MN f (x) ≤ |Ri,p (x)| Ri,p (x) for πx ∈ Qi,p , where the direction of the rectangle Ri,p (x) belongs to I1 = 0, 4 , and |Ri,p (x)| = N δ × δ.

where the direction of Ri,p belongs to I1 , and |Ri,p | = N δ × δ. It follows from the above discussion that 4 MN f (x) ≤ |f (y)|dy, |Ri,p | Ri,p for x ∈ Qi,p . Together with (2.7.3), the above inequality leads to

1 |f (y)|dy χQi,p (x). MN f (x) ≤ 4 |Ri,p | Ri,p i,p

2 It is obvious that there holds, Ri,p Qi,p = ∅. For ﬁxed f , if we deﬁne the linear operator g → Tf (g) as

1 Tf (g)(x) = g(y)dy χQi,p (x), |Ri,p | Ri,p i,p

then, in order to prove (2.7.2), it suﬃces to show that 1

Tf (g)2 ≤ C(log 3N ) 2 g2 , f or any g ∈ L2 (Q∗ ).

(2.7.4)

Step IV. Transfer into the estimate for the conjugate operator Tf∗ . Let h, g ∈ L2 (Q∗ ). If we denote the conjugate operator of Tf by Tf∗ , then by the equation g(y)Tf∗ (h)(y)dy = Tf (g)(x)h(x)dx. Q∗

Step VII. The proof of (2.7.7). 2 Here, Ri,p Qi,p = ∅, the direction of Ri,p is inside I1 , and |Ri,p | = δ × N δ. We might as well prove (2.7.7) for q = 1. Suppose that the direction of Ri,1 2 and Ri,p forms an angle of θ, and Ri,1 Ri,p is a parallelogram ABCD (see Figure 2.5).

Figure 2.5.

Then we have * δ2 . Ri,1 Ri,p = δ × |AB| = sin θ

2.7 Kakeya maximal function

85

We consider the case: θ > α, where α is just the angle leaning toward the edge EF in the triangle EF G in Figure 2.6. Here, F G and HF represent Ri,p and Ri,1 , respectively.

Figure 2.6.

Hence, we have |Ri,1 ∩ Ri,p | ≤

δ2 N δ2 . = sin α (p − 1) sin π4

Thus (2.7.7) is valid (when q = 1), then we could duplicate the proof for q in general case. This ﬁnishes the proof of Theorem 2.7.1. Cordoba (see [Co1] and [Co2]) gave another proof of Carleson-Sj¨ olin theorem by the method of geometric proof and Kakeya maximal function. We only point out why Cordoba’s proof is related with the Kakeya maximal function brieﬂy. It is well known that the key point of proving CarlesonSj¨olin theorem lies in the estimate for the case p = 4, while for other p, we can prove by the methods of interpolation and duality. The estimate for the case when p = 4 is carried out in the following way. Firstly, by segmentation along the radial diameters, we divide the unit disc {|x| < 1} into the union 5 of a series of loops k Dk and give some smooth decomposition of (1−|x|2 )α+ as mk (x), (1 − |x|2 )α+ = k

where mk is smooth and supp mk ⊂ Dk . Deﬁne k ˆ T+ α f = mk f .

86

C2. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier integral

Then the estimate for Tα can be transfered into the one for Tαk . These are all multiplier operators in corresponding with the smooth multiplier function whose support is in a loop. By dilations, we merely need to estimate one of the Tαk s. The multiplier operator chosen by Cordoba is deﬁned as follows. Suppose that φ6 is a smooth function in R, and supp φ6 ⊂ [−1, 1], |ξ| − 1 φ(ξ) = φ6 δ Tαk

for ξ ∈ R2 . It is easy to see that , supp φ ⊂ ξ ∈ R2 : 1 − δ ≤ |ξ| ≤ 1 + δ . Deﬁne

ˆ + S δ f (ξ) = φ(ξ)f (ξ)

for f ∈ D. Then the estimate for Tα f 4 is transfered into the one for Sδ f 4 . Secondly, let ξ = |ξ|eiθ and through the partition of the argument θ, we give a smooth decomposition of φ(ξ) as mj (ξ). φ(ξ) = j

We also deﬁne the multiplier Tj by 1

Tj f (ξ) = mj (ξ)fˆ(ξ),

(0 ≤ j ≤ [δ − 2 ] − 1),

and then we transfer the estimate for Sδ f 4 into the one for We notice that suppmj is a small part of the loop

/ j

Tj f 4 .

{ξ : 1 − δ ≤ |ξ| ≤ 1 + δ} 1

and the central angle which is leaning toward the small part is 2πδ 2 . Now, we write Tj as a convolution operator, that is, Tj f = m j ∗ f. Since m j (x1 , x2 ) ≈

by partial integration, we obtain a control function of m j 1

|m j (x1 , x2 )| ≤ Cp,q δ3/2 |δx1 |−p |δ 2 x2 |−q

(p ≥ 0, q ≥ 0).

From the above inequality, we verify that

Obviously, Rν,j is a rectangle with the eccentricity being δ− 2 . Then, by the method for the case of L2 and the inequality ⎛ 4 ⎞1 4 2 2⎠ ≤C ⎝ T f |T f | , j j j j 4

It is worthy of being pointed out that Cordoba and Lopez-Melero both used the same methods in [CoL1] to extend the Carleson-Sj¨ olin theorem to the case of vector-valued functions, and get the following theorem.

Denote any 6 which one of the cubes by Q and the constant times extension of Q by Q, α share the same center with Q. According to the fact that Bj,R is around |x| = 2j , then in order to prove (2.8.1), we merely need to prove that |Tj f (x)|p dx ≤ C p 2−jpε |f (x)|2 dx. (2.8.2) Q

where α is to be determined. Next, we make estimates of the two terms on the right side of the above inequality. Firstly, we have α 2 ˆ 2 α 2 |Bj,R (x)| |f (x)| dx ≤ sup |Bj,R (x)| |fˆ(x)|2 dx. |x|≤α

Remark 2.8.3 We point out that after some proper revisions about the proof of Theorem 2.8.1 in this section, Feﬀerman [Fe4] gave a new proof of Carleson-Sj¨ olin theorem. Limited by the space, here we omit the proof in details. Many researchers take the restriction theorem of the Fourier transform as the starting point of the study on the Bochner-Riesz conjecture (see [TVV1], [Le1],[BG]). Other researchers regard the Kakeya maximal function as the starting point to study the Bochner-Riesz conjecture (see [Bou1], [Wo1]). Here the remarkable result that we state is due to Bourgain and Guth [BG].

Almost everywhere convergence

In this section, we will study the almost everywhere convergence of the Bochner-Riesz means of Fourier integral of f . That is to say whether or not α lim BR (f )(x)

R→∞

exists and is ﬁnite for almost every x ∈ Rn and for all f ∈ Lp (Rn ), 1 ≤ p < ∞. Since the operator α (f ) f → BR is linear, thus we discuss the property of the almost everywhere convergence of any family of linear operators f → TR f . Suppose that {TR : R > 0} is a family of linear operators and each TR maps Lp (Rn ), 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, to a measurable function space M (Rn ). Besides, we also assume that, for any g ∈ D(Rn ), lim TR g(x)

R→∞

exits and is ﬁnite for a.e. x ∈ Rn . To guarantee the almost everywhere convergence of TR f (x) when R → ∞, it suﬃces to prove that x ∈ Rn : lim sup |TR1 f (x) − TR2 f (x)| > λ = 0 R1 ,R2 →∞ is valid for every λ > 0. However, for any f ∈ Lp (Rn ), we choose g ∈ D(Rn ) and set h = f − g. Obviously, for any λ > 0, we have n x ∈ R : lim sup |TR1 f (x) − TR2 f (x)| > λ R1 ,R2 →∞ ≤ x ∈ Rn : lim sup |TR1 h(x) − TR2 h(x)| > λ . R1 ,R2 →∞

106

C2. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier integral

Thus, in order to prove the a.e. convergence of TR f (x), it suﬃces to show that n : lim sup |T h(x) − T h(x)| > λ x ∈ R → 0, R1 R2 R1 ,R2 →∞ as hp → 0. We denote by T∗ f (x) = sup |TR f (x)|, R>0

and notice that λ n n . x ∈ R : lim sup |TR1 h(x) − TR2 h(x)| > λ ≤ x ∈ R : T∗ h(x) > 2 R1 ,R2 →∞ Thus, to guarantee the a.e. convergence of TR f (x), we merely need to prove that |{x ∈ Rn : T∗ f (x) > λ}| → 0, as f p → 0 for any ﬁxed λ > 0. It is necessary to point out that the validity of the last relationship above is closely related to the type of the operator T∗ . In the following, we begin with giving the deﬁnition of the type of the operator T . Definition 2.10.1 Let 1 ≤ p, q ≤ ∞. The operator T maps Lp (Rn ) to Lq (Rn ). (i) If the operator T satisﬁes the inequality T f q ≤ Cp,q f p , then we call T to be of type (p, q) or strong type (p, q). (ii) If the operator T satisﬁes the inequality f p q n |{x ∈ R : T f (x) > λ}| ≤ Cp,q , λ then we call T an operator of weak type (p, q), where Cp,q is independent of f. By Deﬁnition 2.10.1, if T∗ is of weak type (p, q), then we have that {x ∈ Rn : T∗ f (x) > λ} → 0, as f p → 0. Thus, we obtain the following important facts.

2.10 Almost everywhere convergence

107

Theorem 2.10.1 Suppose that {TR : R > 0} is a family of linear operators and each TR maps Lp (Rn ) (1 ≤ p ≤ ∞) to the measurable function space M (Rn ). Moreover, we also assume that for any g ∈ D(Rn ), lim TR g(x) R→∞

exits and is ﬁnite for a.e x. If the maximal operator T∗ f (x) = sup |TR f (x)| R>0

is of weak type (p, q), then for every f ∈ Lp (Rn ), lim TR f (x) exists and is R→∞

ﬁnite almost everywhere. Here q ≥ 1. Corollary 2.10.1 Let α >

n−1 2 .

If f ∈ Lp (Rn ) (1 ≤ p < ∞), then

α lim BR f (x) = f (x)

R→∞

holds for a.e. x ∈ Rn . Proof. For α >

n−1 2 ,

let α B∗α (f ; x) = sup |BR (f ; x)|, R>0

we ﬁrst prove B∗α (f ; x) ≤ CM f (x), where M f is the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function of f and C is independent of f . In fact, the equation (2.1.3) int Section 2.1 of this chapter reveals that ∞ J n +α (Rt) α n BR f (x) = Cn,α R fx (t) 2 n +α tn−1 dt. (Rt) 2 0 Separating the integration region on the the right side of the above integral as 1 1 ,∞ , (0, ∞) = 0, R R and on 0, R1 and R1 , ∞ , using Jm (f ) ∼ Cr m, as r → 0, and Jm (r) = 1 O(r − 2 ), when r → ∞, we have that 1 α f (x)| ≤ C |BR

By partial integration, we get that ∞ n−1 n−1 R 2 −α |fx (t)|t 2 −α−1 dt ≤ 1 R

Hence, we get the conclusion that B∗α (f ; x) ≤ CM f (x). According to the well-known property of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, B∗α is of type (p, p) for 1 < p < ∞ and B∗α is of weak type (1, 1). Besides, Section 2.2 in this chapter has pointed out that: for any f ∈ D(Rn ), α (f ; x) = f (x) lim BR

R→∞

holds for a.e x. Hence, from Theorem 2.10.1, we can directly deduce that for any f ∈ Lp (Rn ) with 1 ≤ p < ∞, α (f ; x) lim BR

R→∞

exits and is ﬁnite almost everywhere. To prove α (f ; x) = f (x) a.e. lim BR

for a.e. x ∈ Rn . α n α In fact, when α > n−1 2 , the kernel BR (x) ∈ L(R ) and BR is independent of R. By the property of convolution, we have α (f )p ≤ Cp f p . BR

there are some basic results due to Stein as

Theorem 2.10.2 Let 1 < p < ∞, n ≥ 2 and 1 1 n−1 . (n − 1) − < α ≤ 2 p 2 Then we have B∗α (f )p ≤ Cp,n,αf p and α (f ; x) = f (x) lim BR

for a.e. x ∈ Rn . Obviously, the second assertion is directly obtained from Theorem 2.10.1 and the ﬁrst assertion. As far as the ﬁrst assertion is concerned, its proof is the same as the case of the series in the following and thus we omit the proof here. One can see Theorems 3.4.1 and 3.4.3 in Section 3.4 of Chapter 3. In Theorem 2.10.2, when n = 2, the ﬁrst assertion shows that if 2 2

and applying Carleson-Sj¨ olin theorem, that is Theorem 2.5.2, in Section 2.5, one naturally anticipates the following results. When 4 4

the inequality (2.10.1) should hold. Though the conjecture is still not proven completely, yet Carbery [Ca1] has promoted the conclusion of Theorem 2.10.2 in an essential step for the case n = 2. If we replace the normal maximal operator α f )(x)| sup |(BR R>0

by the following maximal operator with the lacunary form α f )(x)|, sup |(BR j j

then the conjecture has been veriﬁed by Igari [Ig1] and independently by Cordoba and Lopez-Melero [CoL1]. Theorem 2.10.3 Suppose that there exists a positive number q > 1 such that the sequence {Rj }∞ j=1 satisﬁes Rj+1 ≥q Rj for any j ∈ N. If

we have

4 4
Particularly, α (f )(x) = f (x) lim BR j

j→∞

holds for a.e. x ∈ Rn . Proof. The proof of Theorem 2.10.3 mainly depends on Theorem 2.7.2 about the vector valued function and the Littlewood-Paley decomposition theorem (see Stein [St4]). Firstly, it is easy to prove that there exists φ ∈ D(R) such that suppφ ⊂ (1, 3) and

∞ n=−∞

then we have η ∈ D(R) and

Thus, we get

α |x|2 j (x) ∗ f (x) = ( 1− 2 ∗ψ η ) 1 ∗ f (x). Rj Rj +

By the property of the convolution operator ([SW1]), it follows that

2 α |x| ∗ ψj (x) ∗ f (x) ≤ CM f (x). sup 1 − 2 Rj j + Hence we conclude that

Consequently, by the theorem with the Littlewood-Paley decomposition (see Stein [St4]), we can deduce the conclusion of the theorem. This completes the proof. From the conditions of Theorem 2.10.3, we also know that when p = 2, we have B∗α (f )2 ≤ Cn,α f 2 (α > 0), where we require the order α > 0. Naturally, one hopes the inequality above can still hold for the case when α = 0. However, the problem is still an open problem until now. Similarly, if we replace the normal maximal operator 0 f (x)| sup |BR

R>0

0 f (x)| in the lacunary form, then, the with the maximal operator supj |BR j above guess is correct, Lu [Lu8] gives a proof as follows.

Theorem 2.10.4 Let f ∈ L2 (Rn ). If there exists a positive number q > 1, Rj+1 such that the positive number sequence {Rj }∞ 1 satisﬁes Rj ≥ q, ∀ j ∈ N , then we have 0 (f )|2 ≤ Cf 2 . sup |BR j j

In particular, we have 0 (f )(x) = f (x), lim BR j

2.10 Almost everywhere convergence

113

The proof of the theorem is similar to the one in the case of the series, which can be checked out at Theorem 3.5.6 in Chapter 3. Remark 2.10.1 In 1988, Carbery, Rubio de Francia and Vega carried The2n . If orem 2.10.4’ to the ﬁnal form in [CRV1]. Let f ∈ Lp (Rn ), 2 ≤ p < n−1 there exists a positive number q > 1, such that the positive number sequence Rj+1 {Rj }∞ 1 satisﬁes Rj ≥ q for all j ∈ N, then we have 0 lim BR (f )(x) = f (x) j

j→∞

for a.e. x ∈ Rn . In addition, it should be pointed out that the range of p above is best (see [CSo1]). As pointed out as previous chapters, the results in Theorem 2.10.3 are not best. When n > 1 and 0 < α < n−1 2 , the convergence of the Bochnern Riesz means almost everywhere in R has a conjecture as follows: If n > p n 1, < α < n−1 2 , f ∈ L (R ), and 2n 2n
R→∞

for a.e. x ∈ Rn . The Bochner-Riesz conjecture has not been solved yet as of now. But when p ≥ 2, Carbery-Rubio de Francia-Vega [CRV1] gave an aﬃrmative answer to the conjecture above. Let us now state this result as follows. Theorem 2.10.5 Let 0 < λ ≤ 12 (n − 1), n ≥ 2. If f ∈ Lp (Rn ) and 2 ≤ p < pλ , then λ f (x) = f (x) (2.10.2) lim BR R→∞

holds for a.e. x ∈

Rn ,

where pλ =

2n n−1−2λ .

λ Denote B∗λ as the corresponding maximal operator of BR , that is, λ f (x) . B∗λ f (x) = sup BR R>0

Consequently, the proof of Theorem 2.10.2 can be attributed to doing research on the maximal operator of B∗λ . But now, we will study it through

114

C2. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier integral

the decomposition of space, not discussing the boundedness of the maximal operator of type (p, p) as usual. Thus we convert the consideration of the boundedness of the operator into the problem of the boundedness of the square integral space with a power weighted function. For the sake of conciseness, we denote L2 (|x|−α ) = L2 (Rn , |x|−α dx), and Lp = Lp (Rn ) for 1 < p < ∞. Thus when 2 ≤ p < pλ for any f ∈ Lp (Rn ), there exists 2 , 0 ≤ α < 1 + 2λ = n 1 − pλ such that Lp ⊂ L2 + L2 (|x|−α ). In fact, we set χ{x:|x|<1} to be the characteristic function of the unit ball, then (2.10.3) f = f χ{x:|x|<1} + f (1 − χ{x:|x|<1}). By H¨older’s inequality, it is easy to check that f χ{x:|x|<1} ∈ L2 (Rn ) and f (1 − χ|x|<1 ) ∈ L2 (|x|−α ). Thus Theorem 2.10.5 can be derived from the boundedness of the maximal operator with a weighted function. Theorem 2.10.6 Let λ > 0 and 0 ≤ α < 1 + 2λ ≤ n. For any Schwartz function f , we have 2 λ −α |f (x)|2 |x|−α dx. (2.10.4) B∗ f (x) |x| dx ≤ Cα,λ Rn

It is easy to see that Theorem 2.10.6 includes the consequences of Theorem 2.10.5. Actually, because of the decomposition formula (2.10.3), for any f ∈ Lp , we have f = f 1 + f2 , where f1 ∈ L2 (Rn ) and f2 ∈ L2 (|x|−α ). If Theorem 2.10.6 has been proven, then it follows from Theorem 2.10.6 that λ lim BR f1 (x) = f1 (x) R→∞

holds for almost everywhere x ∈ Rn .

2.10 Almost everywhere convergence

115

Since the measure |x|−α dx is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure, we have λ lim BR f2 (x) = f2 (x)

R→∞

for almost any x ∈ Rn . Consequently, next our main task is to show Theorem 2.10.6. For a given small positive real number δ > 0, we denote D as the diﬀerential operator. Set mδ ∈ C ∞ satisfying supp mδ ⊂ [1 − δ, 1], and 0 ≤ mδ (t) ≤ 1,

k δ D m (t) ≤ Cδ−k

(2.10.5)

for every positive integer k. We deﬁne the operator Stδ as δ δ ˆ S+ t f (ξ) = m (t|ξ|)f (ξ).

Next we give a fundamental estimate of the operator Stδ . Lemma 2.10.1 For any δ > 0 and 0 ≤ α < n, we have that Rn

where Cα is a constant which is independent of δ, and ⎧ 2−α , 1 < α < n, ⎨δ Aα (δ) = δ| log δ|, α = 1, ⎩ δ, 0 ≤ α < 1. Assume the inequality (2.10.6) holds. Then we will prove Theorem 2.10.6 is valid. We denote the corresponding maximal operator of Stδ by S∗δ , that is, S∗δ f (x) = sup Stδ f (x) . t>0

Similar to Section 2.7 in this chapter, we have the following decomposition ∞ −k 2 λ 2−kλ m2 (|ξ|), 1 − |ξ| + = k=0

thus we have B∗λ f (x)

k=0

Clearly we have that the terms about k = 0, 1 can be controlled by the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, and when −n < α < n, the HardyLittlewood maximal function operator is bounded on L2 (|x|α ). Thus we mainly pay attention to the terms that k ≥ 1. To research the above maximal operator, we introduce the square operator ∞ 1 2 δ δ 2 dt |St f (x)| G f (x) = t 0 6δ , whose corresponding multiplier is and the operator G m 6 δ (t) = δt

d δ m (t) dt

6 δ (t) satisﬁes (2.10.5) similar to instead of mδ (t). It is easy to check that m δ m (t). By the diﬀerential integral fundamental theorem, we have ∞ δ d δ 2 δ 6δ f (x). 2 St f (x) St f (x) dt ≤ 2δ −1 Gδ f (x)G (S∗ f (x)) ≤ dt 0 Next we will consider the estimate about Gδ . Let a function ψ satisfy ψ(0) = 0, and when

We will prove (2.10.13) is true for any f . Notice that Kj (x) = K(x)hj (x), and the support of hj is in the ball with the origin as its center and 2j+2 δ −1 as its radius, then Kj has the similar ball. We decompose f as f=

127

Thus the support of Kj ∗ fQi shares the same center with Qi , but its radius is C2j δ−1 , where the constant C is independent of j, i, δ. Then for any i, Kj ∗ fQi has compact support, and they satisfy Kj ∗ fi(x) · Kj ∗ fi (x) = 0, provided that |i − i | > C. Consequently we have

It suﬃces to prove that (2.10.13) is valid for any i ∈ N. The case of i = 0 has been proven. When i ≥ 1, the term |x|−α can be roughly regarded as a constant in the integral. So we merely need to prove 2 −j 1−α |Kj ∗ f (x)| dx ≤ C2 δ |f (x)|2 dx. Rn

Remark 2.10.2 Theorem 2.10.5 only conﬁrms the conjecture on a.e. convergence of Bochner-Riesz means of Fourier integrals below the critical index for p ≥ 2. The conclusion of Theorem 2.10.5 is also obtained by Christ n−1 . For the case p < 2, the [Chr1] under the restrict condition α > 2(n+1) conjecture is still open. However, we have to mention two remarkable results in this direction. In 2002, Tao [Ta2] proved that if n = 2, 1 max{ 4p − 38 , 6p − 23 }, then the conclusion of the conjecture holds. 2n ≤ p < n−1−2α , then the In 2004, Lee [Le1] proved that if n ≥ 3 and 2n+4 n conclusion of the conjecture also holds. Remark 2.10.3 Let Ω ⊂ Rn , and |Ω| < ∞. We also assume that {TR : R > 0} is a family of linear operators, with each of TR mapping Lp (Ω) with 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞ to the measurable function space M (Ω). With the method

completely the same as the one in Theorem 2.10.1, we know that, if the maximal operator T ∗ f (x) = sup |TR f (x)| R>0

is of weak type (p, p), then for any f ∈ Lp (Ω), lim TR f (x)

R→∞

exists almost every x ∈ Rn . Stein [St3] pointed out that, for the case 1 ≤ p ≤ 2, the converse proposition also holds. That is to say, if for any f ∈ Lp (Ω) with 1 ≤ p ≤ 2, lim TR f (x) R→∞

exists almost every x ∈ Rn . Thus T∗ is of weak type (p, p). The fact can be applied to the case of the series.

2.11

Commutator of Bochner-Riesz operator

After the work on commutators of singular integrals, which is due to Coifman, Rochberg and Weiss [CRW1], was published, it has largely promoted the research of this ﬁeld. However, without united method for Lp boundedness of commutators of other operators, its commutator for each operator is studied independently. In 1993, Alvarez, Bagby, Kurtz and Perez [ABKP1] got a judge rule for the boundedness of the commutators generated by general linear operator T : Lpω → Lpω ⇒ [b, T ] : Lp → Lp . for ω ∈ Aq and 1 < p, q < ∞. Thus, it is easy to know that when the weighted norm inequality of a linear operator has been established, the commutator generated by this one n−1 and a BMO function is then bounded on Lp (Rn ). For example, let B 2 be the Bochner-Riesz operator at the critical index. In 1992, Shi and Sun n−1 [ShS1] established the Lpω boundedness of B 2 , where ω ∈ Ap . From the n−1 judge rule above, the commutator generated by a BMO function and B 2 is bounded on Lp (Rn ). On the other hand, it should be noticed that there are lots of important operators which do not satisfy the condition of the above judge rule. For

example, the Bochner-Riesz operator below the critical index is one of those operators. Let us consider the case b ∈ BMO(Rn ). It is natural to expect that the commutator [b, Brα ] enjoy the same Lp convergence as Brα as r → ∞, or [b, B α ] enjoy the same Lp -boundedness of B α . In this case, the following problem on the Lp boundedness of their commutators is raised naturally. Question 1 Let b ∈ BMO(Rn ). The commutator [b, B α ] is bounded on Lp (Rn ) if and only if 2n 2n 1. If the commutator [b, B ] is bounded on L (R ), then we have 2n 2n

For the suﬃciency in Question 1, Hu and Lu [HL1] gave an aﬃrmative result when n = 2. Theorem 2.11.2 Let 0 < α < 1/2 and b ∈ BMO(R2 ). If 4/(3 + 2α) < p < 4/(1 − 2α), then the commutator [b, B α ] is bounded on Lp (R2 ) with the norm being smaller than C(p)bBMO . Proof. Write

(2.11.8)

Since |Jβ (t)| ≤ Cβ |t|β , as t → 0, it follows that J1+α (|x − y|) f (y)dy ≤ CM f (x), |x−y|≤1 |x − y|1+α where M f denotes the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function of f . Thus by the weighted estimate for M (see[GR1]), we have Rf p ≤ CbBMO f p , for 1 0, we have ∞ f (y) |f (y)| r(|x − y|) dy ≤ C dy 1+α |x−y|≥1 |x − y| k−1 ≤|x−y|<2k |x − y|5/2+α k=1 2 ≤ CM f (x). This implies that Qf p ≤ CbBMO f p , for 1 < p < ∞. Obviously, the Lp norm of the operator P deﬁned by (2.11.8) can be controlled by that of the operator P6 deﬁned by f (y) 6 P f (x) = ei|x−y| (b(x) − b(y)) dy. 3 |x−y|≥1 |x − y| 2 +α

C2. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier integral

Furthermore, since α < 12 and f (y) i|x−y| e dy ≤ CM f (x), 3 +α |x−y|<1 |x − y| 2 We have already known that f (y) ei|x−y| (b(x) − b(y)) dy ≤ CbBMO f p 3 +α |x−y|<1 |x − y| 2 p

By Stein’s interpolation theorem (see [SW1]), to prove Theorem 2.11.2, it is enough to show that for any 0 < α < 12 , the operator P deﬁned by (2.11.9) is bounded on L4 (R2 ). Denote I = [0, 1], I 2 = I × I, and F (I 2 ) = [−1.5, 2.5]2 \[−0.5, 1.5]2 .

By the same argument as in Section 2.6, we can conclude that the proof of Theorem 2.11.2 can be reduced to the following inequality λ ≤ Cλ−δ bBMO f L4 (I 2 ) (2.11.10) Sb f 4 2 L (F (I ))

for some positive constant δ > 0. Now we prove (2.11.10). Let s be a small positive constant which will be determined later. Set 0 < r < 12 and σ > 0 such that 1 1 r = − . 4+σ 4 2 Observe that if x ∈ F (I 2 ), then we have λ |f (y)|dy P f (x) ≤ C 2 I 1 |f (y)χI 2 (y)|dy ≤ Cr 2−r R2 |x − y| = Cr Ir (f χI 2 )(x), where χI 2 is the characteristic function of I 2 , and Ir is the usual fractional integral operator of order r.

where m10I 2 (b) denotes the mean value of b on 10I 2 . Obviously, if x ∈ F (I 2 ), then

The estimate for the second term follows from the inequality (2.11.15) by IIL4 (F (I 2 )) ≤ Cλ−ε+(1/2−α+ε)s 6bf L4−sσ (I 2 ) ≤ Cλ−ε+(1/2−α+ε)s bBMO f L4 (I 2 ) . Choose s so small that δ = ε − (1/2 − α + ε)s > 0. Combining the estimates above we get λ ≤ Cλ−δ bBMO f L4 (I 2 ) . Sb f 4 2 L (F (I ))

The case of the critical index (general discussion)

3.2.1 Localization problems

For the Bochner-Riesz means at the critical index, the localization principle does not hold on L(Qn ) with n > 1 any more. It was proven by Bochner [Bo1].

Theorem 3.2.1 (Bochner) If n > 1, then there exists f ∈ L(Qn ) which vanishes on B(0, δ) for some δ > 0 such that n−1

lim sup SR 2 (f ; 0) = +∞. R→+∞

n−1

Proof. By Lemma 1.3.5 in Chapter 1, for almost every y, DR2 (y) is unbounded about R. Deﬁne , Lδ = f ∈ L(Qn ) : f vanishes at B(0, δ) . Let δ < 1. Obviously Lδ is a closed subspace of L(Qn ). Deﬁne a linear functional FR (R > 0) on Lδ , n−1

FR (f ) = SR 2 (f ; 0) for f ∈ Lδ . It follows that FR =

f ∈Lδ , f 1 =1

|FR (f )|

3.2.2 An example of being divergent almost everywhere

Theorem 3.2.2 (Stein) There exists f ∈ L(Qn ) (n > 1), such that n−1 2 lim sup SR (f ; x) = +∞ R→+∞

for a.e. x ∈ Qn , and f can be constructed so that it is supported in an arbitrary small given neighborhood of the origin. It should be pointed out that the support discussed here is restricted in Qn . Proof. Denote B(0, 1) = {x ∈ Rn : |x| ≤ 1}. Choose a function ψ, satisfying 1 ∞ n suppψ ⊂ B, ψ ∈ C (R ), ψ(x)dx = 1. (3.2.1) (2π)n Rn By (3.2.1), it follows from the properties of the the Fourier transform of ψ that ˆ ψ(0) = 1; (ii) ψ(y) ≤ |y|−2k k ψ (i)

where is the Laplace operator and k = (k−1 ). Choose ε ∈ (0, 1). Deﬁne ψε (x) = ε−n ψ(ε−1 x). The periodization of ψε is ϕε (x) :=

ψε (x + 2πm).

m∈Zn

Since suppψε = εB ⊂ Qn , then ϕε is exactly the 2π-periodic extension of ψε when restricted on Qn . It follows that ϕε C = ψε C = ε−n ψC . By the Poisson summation formula (see Section 1.2), im·x ε (m)eim·x = σ(ϕε )(x) ∼ ψ ψ(εm)e .

The condition of x0 ∈ S actually implies that {|x0 + 2πm| : m ∈ Zn } is a linearly independent set (see Deﬁnitions 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 in Chapter 1), while S is a full measurable set, when n > 1. For k, l ∈ N, deﬁne * n−1 2 Ek,l = x ∈ S Q : sup DR (x) > l . 0

for all l ∈ N. According to the above argument, for any A > 0, m ∈ N, choose l ≥ A+1 and k = k(A, m, l) large enough such that 1 |Ek,l | > 1 − |Q|. m+1

Then, if x ∈ Ek,l , we have n−1 2 sup DR (x) > A + 1.

Thus, according to (3.2.4), there exists ε0 = ε0 (k) > 0, such that if x ∈ Ek,l and ε ∈ (0, ε0 ], n−1 2 sup SR (ϕε ; x) > A. (3.2.5) 0

Consequently, for arbitrary R0 > 0, there exists δ = δ(R0 ) ∈ (0, 1) such that if ε , ε ∈ (0, δ], then n−1 2 (3.2.6) sup SR (ϕε − ϕδ ) < 1. 0

This completes the proof of Theorem 3.2.2.

Theorem 3.2.2 can be viewed as the multi-dimensional analogy of the classic Kolmogorov Theorem in the case of one variable where we draw an n−1

analogy between SR 2 and partial Fourier sum of one variable. Many facts show that such an analogy is quite appropriate. We have seen that the conclusion of Theorem 3.2.2 is stronger than that of Theorem 3.2.1, and the former gave such a function which is integrable on n−1

Q and vanishes at some neighborhood of a point, where SR 2 is unbounded almost everywhere. 3.2.3 The relation between the series and the integral Let f ∈ L(Qn ). Deﬁne f6 = f χQ , then f6 deﬁned on Rn is supported in α 6 (f ; x) as the Bochner-Riesz means of the Fourier Qn , f6 ∈ L(Rn ). Denote BR 6 integral of f . Stein [St2] established the following important theorem, which n−1

n−1

joined SR 2 (f ) with the convergence property of BR 2 (f ; x) which gave a n−1

new way in the research of SR 2 (f ). Compared with the case of the series, lots of problems are much easily handled with after they are transfered into the Fourier integral. Theorem 3.2.3 (Stein) Suppose that f ∈ L log+ L(Qn ) with n > 1, and G is a closed set in Qn . Then we have n−1 n−1 2 2 6 lim max SR (f ; x) − BR (f ; x) = 0. R→∞ x∈G

To prove Theorem 3.2.3, some lemmas are needed. Firstly, set D = {σ + iτ : 0 ≤ σ ≤ 1, − ∞ < τ < +∞}.

By the Stirling formula, we conclude that the right side of the above inequality is less than 1 + |Q|. On the other hand, if we write Φ(μ) = eμ − μ − 1 and Ψ(ν) = (ν + 1) log(ν + 1) for μ, ν ≥ 0, then Φ, Ψ is a pair of conjugate functions in the sense of Young (see Zygmund [Zy1]). Then μν ≤ Φ(μ) + Ψ(ν) holds for every μ, ν ≥ 0. It follows that n−1 n−1 2 2 a R (y)f (x − y) ≤ Φ aR (y) + Ψ(|f (x − y)|) n−1 a R 2 (y)

Lemma 3.2.7 If n > 1, then (3.2.13) is valid. Proof. Take q > 2, R > 1 and write (3.2.22) as T1+iτ 1,∞ ≤ M1 (τ ) = Cn eπ|τ | q.

Substituting σ = 12 −1 + 2q ∈ − 12 , 0 into (3.2.40), and invoking (3.2.10), we can get that n−1 +σ+i τ π σ |τ | 2 2 (3.2.41) Tiτ 2,∞ = R R ≤ Cn e 2 := M0 (τ ). 2

This completes the proof of Lemma 3.2.7, and then that of Theorem 3.2.3. From Theorem 3.2.3, we can directly acquire a corollary about the localization problem.

C3. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier series

Corollary 3.2.1 Let f ∈ L log+ L(Qn ), n > 1. If f vanishes at the ball B(x, δ) for some δ > 0, then n−1

lim SR 2 (f ; x) = 0

holds.

Proof. Because the convergence of the Bochner-Riesz means at the critical index of Fourier integral is a local property, in other words, the localization principle is valid (see Chapter 2), then by Theorem 3.2.3 we can transfer the problem into the integral and then obtain the conclusion immediately. This ﬁnishes the proof.

n−1 2 ≤ M, R 1

so we have that

then (3.3.3) holds at x0 . Proof. In fact, condition (i) is (3.3.1). Make the same assumptions as that of 3.3.1. We can see that it only suﬃces to show that η cos(Rt − πn 2 ) g0 (t) lim dt = 0. (3.3.11) R→∞ π t R

By (3.3.5), for every ε > 0, there exists δ > 0, such that if 0 < t ≤ δ, |ϕ(t)t−n | < ε.

In the following, we will prove a suﬃcient condition which guarantees (3.3.2) to be valid which was proven by Lu [Lu5]. Let us ﬁrst introduce some concepts. Definition 3.3.1 Deﬁne a ﬁnitely valued function f (t) on a ﬁnite interval [a, b]. If for any open interval of [a, b], that is, In = [an , bn ], n = 1, 2, . . . , which does not intersect with each other, the following holds: HV(f ; [a, b]) := sup

∞ |f (bn ) − f (an )|

{In } n=1

n

< ∞,

174

C3. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier series

then we say f is of harmonic bounded variation on [a, b], denoted by f ∈ HBV[a,b] . From the deﬁnition, we can see that if f ∈ HBV[a,b] , then f (x0 +0) exists and is ﬁnite at every point x0 on (a, b]. In fact, if lim inf f (x) = α < lim sup f (x) = β, x→x+ 0

x→x+ 0

then we choose the point sequence b1 > a1 > b2 > a2 > · · · , an → x+ 0, such that f (bn ) > 34 β + 14 α, f (an ) < 14 β + 34 α. Therefore, ∞ f (bn ) − f (an ) n=1

which contradicts the fact f ∈ HBV[a,b] . Similarly, f (x0 − 0) exists and is ﬁnite (x0 ∈ [a, b)). Besides, the following relation is quite evident, BV[a,b] ⊂ HBV[a,b] ⊂ B[a,b] , where BV represents for the class of usual bounded variation functions, and B means the class of bounded functions. Lemma 3.3.1 Let f ∈ L(Qn ) with n ≥ 2. If fx (t) is of bounded variation at x on [0, η] (η > 0), then (3.3.2) holds. Proof. Firstly, we will prove that, for any two positive numbers η1 , η2 with η1 < η2 , η1 η2 |fx (t + h) − fx (t)| |fx (t + h) − fx (t)| dt = lim sup dt. lim sup t t h→0 h→0 h h (3.3.15) In fact, η1 η2 |fx (t + h) − fx (t)| |fx (t + h) − fx (t)| dt ≤ dt t t h hη1 |fx (t + h) − fx (t)| dt ≤ (3.3.16) t h 1 η2 |fx (t + h) − fx (t)|dt, + η1 η1

3.3 The convergence at ﬁxed point

175

for h < η1 . Since fx (t) ∈ L(η1 , η1 + η2 ), by the property of the norm of the integration, the second term on the right side of the above inequality is a ﬁnitely small quantity (h → 0+ ). Hence we can get (3.3.15). If (3.3.2) is not valid, then according to (3.3.15), there exists a positive number ε, such that for every δ > 0, lim sup h→0+

h

|fx (t + h) − fx (t)| dt > ε. t

(3.3.17)

Therefore, we could choose such a sequence by induction: η ≥ δ1 > h1 > δ2 > h2 > · · · such that, for n ∈ N, δn = λn hn ,

(3.3.18)

hn ≥ 2δn+1 ,

for λn ∈ N, λn ≥ 2,

(3.3.20)

(3.3.21)

for n = 2, 3, . . . . By (3.3.16), (3.3.17) and the existence of fx (0 + 0), there exists such a sequence. Thus we have

|fx (t + hn ) − fx (t)| dt t hn λ n −1 hn |fx (t + (j + 1)hn ) − fx (t + jhn )| dt = t + jhn j=1 0 ⎛ ⎞ hn λ n −1 1 1 ⎝ |fx (t + (j + 1)hn ) − fx (t + jhn )|⎠ dt. ≤ hn 0 j δn

It follows that λ n −1 1 1 ε< |fx (θn + (j + 1)hn ) − fx (θn + jhn )|, 2 j j=λn−1

for n = 2, 3, . . . . And thus ∞ λ n −1 1 |fx (θn + (j + 1)hn ) − fx (θn + jhn )| = +∞, j n=2 j=λn−1

which contradicts the fact fx (t) ∈ HBV[0,η] , and this ﬁnishes the proof. From Theorem 3.3.1 and Lemma 3.3.1, we can deduce the main result of Lu [Lu5] immediately. Theorem 3.3.3 Let f ∈ L log+ L(Qn ), for n ≥ 2. If fx (t) is of harmonic bounded variation on some interval [0, η] with η > 0, and lim fx (t) = f (x),

t→0+

(3.3.22)

then (3.3.3) is valid. Obviously, if we remove the assumption (3.3.22), we can obtain n−1

lim SR 2 (f ; x) = fx (0 + 0),

R→∞

which is just the original form in Lu’s theorem [Lu5]. At the end of this section, we will point out that the proof methods of several suﬃcient conditions to guarantee convergence at ﬁxed points are

similar. They all transfer the problems into the Fourier integral under the condition that L log L is integrable, where Theorem 3.2.3 weighs a lot. At the same time, we notice that these conclusions are undoubtedly applicable for the Bochner-Riesz means of Fourier integral at the critical index, and in the case of integral, as the condition of convergence, we do not need the local L log L-integrability any more. As far as the convergence problem of the Bochner-Riesz means of the multiple Fourier series is concerned, Wang [Wan1] and Chang [Chan1] also dedicated in the=study while Shi [Sh1] investigated the Fourier series of functions of the BMV class.

3.4

Lp approximation

When f ∈ Lp (Qn ), n > 1, we shall consider the convergence (Lp convergence and a.e.-convergence ) of the Bochner-Riesz means of the order n−1 2 α > αp := 2 p − 1. We shall see that for functions of Lp class, when of the Bochner-Riesz means all lose critical 1 < p < ∞, the index n−1 2 p meanings in problems of L -convergence and a.e.-convergence. We think that for Lp - functions and when 1 < p ≤ 2, under the conclusion in Theorem 3.10.3, the order of the Bochner-Riesz means might be regarded

critical n−1 2 as αp = 2 p − 1 . At this time, it makes sense to consider the properties of the αp order of the Bochner-Riesz means, however, it is not an easy task. Remark 3.4.1 The study on approximation of Bochner-Riesz means is usually based on their convergence. To study approximation of Bochner-Riesz means in Lp with 1 < p < ∞, we have to consider Theorem 3.10.3 as our starting point. In this sense, we temporarily regard the critical order of the Bochner-Riesz means in Lp approximation with 1 < p < ∞ as 2 αp = n−1 2 p − 1 . In fact, according to the conjecture in Section 2.2, the critical order of the Bochner-Riesz means in Lp convergence or approxima tion should be αp = n 1p − 12 − 12 (see Sogge [S1], Stein [St5] or Davis-Chang [DC1]). 3.4.1 The estimate of the maximal operator Let f ∈ L(Qn ) with n > 1. Let α ∈ C and Reα > −1. S∗α (f ) is the maximal operator given by Deﬁnition 3.1.1. The estimate of S∗α above the critical index n−1 2 has been ﬁgured out by Theorem 3.1.3. Now we assume

−1 ,

The proof of the above theorem needs the interpolation theorem of the analytic family of operators (see Stein and Weiss [SW1]). The steps of the proof are as follows: Firstly, by Corollary 3.4.1, S∗α of positive order (Reα > 0) is of type (2, 2); secondly, by Corollary 3.1.1, S∗α of the order n−1 higher than n−1 2 (Reα > 2 ) is of type (q, q) (1 < q ≤ ∞). Therefore, for any given p ∈ (1, 2) and 0 < α ≤ n−1 2 , we assume that μ0 is taken close to zero, 0 < μ0 < α, while we choose μ1 > n−1 2 . Make an analytic family δ(z)

S∗ , δ(z) = μ0 (1 − z) + μ1 z (which is not a family of linear operators, for further treatments needed), then, by Reδ(iτ ) = μ0 > 0 and Reδ(1 + iτ ) = δ(iτ ) μ1 > n−1 in type (2, 2) as well as that of 2 , we can get an estimate of S∗ S δ(Hiδ) in type (p1 , p1 ), where p1 is some chosen positive number, 1 < p1 < p. Then we interpolate at t, which is decided by 1−t t 1 + = , 2 p1 p that is, t=

1 1 p − 2 1 1 p1 − 2

∈ (0, 1).

(3.4.10)

μ0 , μ1 must satisfy the condition that δ(t) = μ0 (1 − t) + μ1 t = α.

(3.4.11)

Hence we can induce that S∗α is of type (p, p). Actually, we can select p1 ∈ (1, p) ﬁrstly, and then give the option of t to (3.4.10). Substituting the value of t into (3.4.11), then we can choose proper μ0 , μ1 by (3.4.11).

C3. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier series

Here we have to point out that: if α is not given ahead, then by (3.4.11), since μ0 > 0, μ1 > n−1 2 , we have n−1 t 2 1 1 n−1 p − 2 = 2 p1 − 12 1 n−1 2 ≥ −1 2 p := αp .

That is to say that the index α, which is applicable for the method of interpolation, must be greater than αp . Proof of Theorem 3.4.1. When p = 2, the conclusion of Theorem 3.4.1 is contained in Corollary 3.4.1. If we assume 1 2 −1 2

Let δ(z) = μ0 (1 − z) + μ1 z, 0 ≤ Rez = σ ≤ 1, Imz = τ . By Corollary 3.4.1, we have that |Imδ(iτ )| = (μ1 − μ0 )|τ | < and

At this time, the critical n−1 2 p index for L is αp = 2 1 − p . Detailed steps are much simpler. And t is decided by the interpolation formula t 1 1−t + = , 2 ∞ p

that is, t = 1 − 2p . And then we choose μ0 > 0, μ1 > α1 =

satisfying

μ0 (1 − t) + μ1 t = α. 2 By the above equation, as long as α > αp = n−1 2 (1 − p ), we can make it, and that is where the meaning of the critical property of αp lies. We can take

3.4 Lp approximation

3.4.2 The Lp approximation With the estimate of the maximal operator S∗α in type (p, p), 1 < p < ∞, α (f ) is a natural corollary. Now let us compute it the Lp -convergence of SR more accurately and then we can acquire the approximation order characterized by the modulus of continuity. Let f ∈ Lp (Qn ). Deﬁne ω(f ; t)p = sup f (· + h) − f (·)p (t ≥ 0) |h|≤t

as the modulus of continuity of f in Lp . Denote by ER (f )p the best approximation of trigonometric polynomial f with order below R ( spherical order ) in the norm of Lp . If gR (x) is the best Lp approximation trigonometric polynomial with order R, then by the well-known theorem about the relation between trigonometric polynomial and the norm of its derivative, we can get 1 2 , (3.4.27) gR p ≤ Cn,p R ω2 f ; R p where ω2 represents for 2-ordered the modulus of continuity, and its deﬁnition is as follows ω2 (f ; t)p = sup f (· + h) + f (· − h) − 2f (·)p |h|
and is the well-known Laplace operator. Having got all the above preparations, it is time for us to prove the following theorem on the Lp approximation: 2 − 1 Theorem 3.4.5 If n > 1, 1 αp := n−1 , then we 2 p have 1 α . (3.4.28) SR (f ) − f p ≤ Cn,α,p · ω2 f ; R p Proof. Suppose that R > 0, g = gR is the best R-ordered Lp approximation trigonometric polynomial. Then, α α α SR (f ) − f p ≤ SR (f ) − SR (g)p +

Combining all of the above results together, Lemma 3.4.5 can be proved. We notice that α1 = α∞ = n−1 2 , and it is obvious that Lemma 3.4.5 is valid for p = 1 and p = ∞. It is to be noted that we have taken L∞ (Q) to represent for C(Q), and thus Theorem 3.4.5 is also valid for p = 1 and p = ∞. By the way, we would like to point out that the above approximation results in the case of p = ∞, that is, in the situation of C(Q), were ﬁrstly given by Cheng and Chen [CheC1](in the form of unitary ordered continuous norm). For the case of Lp with 1 ≤ p < ∞, Wang [Wa6] considered the uniform approximation problems with the order of α > n−3 2 . We have seen that Theorem 3.4.5 only ﬁgured out the order of Lp approximation above the critical order αp . As far as the case of being below or equaling to the order of αp , there is no result in that aspect.

Almost everywhere convergence (the critical index)

First of all, we will consider the problem of almost everywhere convern gence in the case at the critical index (α1 = n−1 2 ) in the context of L(Q ). Theorem 3.5.1 (Stein) If n > 1 and f ∈ L(log+ L)2 (Qn ), then we have n−1 S∗ 2 (f ) ≤ An |f |(log + |f |)2 dx + 1 . 1

lim SR 2 (f ; x) = f (x),

(3.5.5)

R→∞

for a.e. x ∈ Qn . Proof. The proof method is quite common: with the help of Theorem 3.5.1, we can choose good functions as the approximation of f in L(Qn ), and then pass to the limit( ones may give a proof as an exercise). n−1

Theorem 3.2.2 in Section 2 asserts that: SR 2 (f ) may be divergent almost everywhere in L(Qn ). Yet, Theorem 3.5.2 ensures that if f ∈ n−1

L(log + L)2 (Qn ), then SR 2 (f ) must be convergent almost everywhere. It is well known that in the case of single variable, suﬃcient conditions that guarantee a.e.-convergence of the Fourier series are listed as follows: (i) Marcinkiewicz’s result: if

h 0

1 |f (x + t) − f (x)|dt = O h/ log h

(h → 0)

(3.5.6)

holds for every points in [0, 2π], then Sk (f ; x) → f (x) for a.e. x ∈ [0, 2π]; (ii) Salem’s result: if 0

(h → 0)

uniformly holds for x ∈ [0, 2π], then Sk (f ; x) → f (x) for a.e. x ∈ [0, 2π]. In 1965, Chang [Cha2] made an extension of Marcinkiewicz-type criterion to the case of multi-variables. He proved Theorem 3.5.3 Let f ∈ L log+ L(Qn ), n > 1. If f satisﬁes

1 −1 1 |f (x + y) − f (x)|dy = O log (h → 0), hn |y|
(3.5.8)

n−1

at every point of the positive measure set E ⊂ Qn , then SR 2 (f ; x) is a.e. convergent to f (x) on E. Limited by space, we omit the proof of this theorem here. In the following, we will formulate the Salem-type condition given by Lu [Lu2]. Lu deﬁned (f (y) − f (x))dy, (3.5.9) F (x, r) = B(x,r)

as the spherical integral of f (x) in [Lu2]. Theorem 3.5.4 Suppose that f ∈ L log+ L(Qn ) with n > 1 and x ∈ Qn is the Lebesgue point of f . At the point of x, if the condition $ h 1 # F (x, r + 2h) + F (x, r) − 2F (x, r + h) = o (3.5.10) rn−1 log 1/h is uniformly valid for r ∈ [h, r0 ], as h → 0+ , then we have n−1

lim SR 2 (f ; x) = f (x).

It is easy to see that if we let F (x) =

then (3.5.7) can be rewritten as F (x + h) + F (x − h) − 2F (x) = o as h → 0+ .

In this sense, we can say that (3.5.10) is the multi-dimensional analogy of (3.5.7). Proof of Theorem 3.5.4. Since f ∈ L log+ L(Qn ), then with Stein’s theorem, that is, Theorem 3.2.3, we can transfer the problem of series into that of the integral. Suppose that the point x considered is the origin which is the Lebesgue point of f . Let g = f χQn . Then g ∈ L(Rn ), and x = 0 is the Lebesgue point of g. It is enough to prove n−1

BR 2 (g; 0) → g(0). Of course, we could premise f (0) = 0, that is, g(0) = 0. We denote the spherical integral of g at the origin as g(y)dy. G(r) = B(0,r)

Let ϕ(t) =

for t > 0. Then

(3.5.11)

uniformly holds for r ∈ [h, r0 ], as h → 0+ . Since x = 0 is the Lebesgue point of g, and by the suﬃcient condition n−1

(see Chapter 2) about the convergence of BR 2 (g) at Lebesgue points, it only suﬃces to prove that r0 cos(tR − θ) lim ϕ(t) dt = 0 (3.5.12) R→∞ π+θ tn R

Of course, for a function belonging to L log+ L(Qn ) with n > 1, if the condition of (3.5.10) is valid at every Lebesgue point, then the Bochner-Riesz means at the critical index converges almost everywhere. Fan [Fa1] extended Theorem 3.5.4 to the case of classical groups. Now let us turn our attention to discuss the problems of always almost everywhere convergence at the critical index α2 = 0 on L2 (Qn ). Only a few results can be obtained in this aspect. Mathematicians have been in0 always almost vestigating for a long time about the problem whether SR

everywhere converges on L2 (Qn ), n > 1, yet no any results were acquired. In recent years, the majority of researchers are prone to negative conclusions. In the following, we will introduce a suﬃcient condition by Golubov [Go1]. Firstly, let us introduce some notations: Let f ∈ L2 (Qn ), n > 1, and we denote ⎛ ⎞1 2 2 Aν = ⎝ |Cm (f )| ⎠ , |m|2 =ν

for ν = 0, 1, 2, . . .. If {m ∈ Zn : |m|2 = ν} = ∅, then we take it for granted that Aν = 0. Suppose that α is a non-negative and non-increasing function deﬁned on (0, 1], and we denote 1 α(t)dt, ω(ν) = √1 ν

for ν ∈ N. Theorem 3.5.5 Let f ∈ L(Qn ) with n > 1. If

By (3.5.24) and the Menshoﬀ-Rademacher theorem in theory of orthogonal /∞ series (see [KS1]), it implies that ν=0 Aν ϕν (x) is convergent for a.e. x ∈ Qn . That is to say, (3.5.22) is valid. This ﬁnishes the proof of Corollary 3.5.1.

Corollary 3.5.2 Let f ∈ L2 (Qn ) (n > 1). If there exists ε > 0, such that 1 (3.5.25) ω(f ; δ)2 = O (log 1/δ)1+ε as δ → 0+ , then (3.5.22) holds. Obviously, (3.5.25) implies (3.5.21). Thus Corollary 3.5.2 is a special case of Corollary 3.5.1. Besides, Lu [Lu8] also obtained a result on the a.e.-convergence of lacunary sequence of the spherical Fourier partial sum for L2 . Theorem 3.5.6 Let f ∈ L2 (Qn ) with n > 1. If R1 > 0, and for all j ∈ N, then 0 (f ; x) = f (x) lim SR j j→∞

Among the results about the a.e. convergence, Stein’s theorem, i.e., Theorem 3.5.2, is the most beautiful one, which was published in 1958. Since then, many scholars were searching for the possibility of ﬁnding the subclass

208

C3. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier series

of L(Qn ), such that it is no smaller than L(log+ L)2 which guarantees the a.e. convergence of the Bochner-Riesz means at the critical index. It did not get any great development until the proposal of concepts of entropy put forward by Feﬀerman [Fef1] in 1978 and that of Block spaces by Taibleson and Weiss [TW1] later on. Entropy space and the space generated by blocks both includes the Dini function class. To some extent, we can claim that, to the knowledge of all that we know at present, the block space is the biggest function space where the Bochner-Riesz means of the Fourier series at the critical index is a.e. convergent. In the next section, we will give a brief introduction about all those concepts mentioned above and some main results.

3.6

Spaces related to the a.e. convergence of the Fourier series

3.6.1 The concept of the entropy class Let S is a measurable subset of Qn . Deﬁne the entropy of S as |Qn |e |Ik | log E(S) = inf : Ik ⊃ S , |Ik | k

where Ik represents for the cube in Qn , and {Ik } is a sequence of the cubes. By the deﬁnition above, the entropy of a set is not only related with the measure of the set, but also with its geometric shape. Feﬀerman [Fef1] put forward with such a kind of sequence of sets on one-dimensional Euclidean space, whose measure is zero, and yet entropy tends to 1. Deﬁne the entropy of the integrable function f on Qn as follows: ∞ E({x ∈ Qn : |f (x)| < λ})dλ. J(f ) = 0

We have to point out that the entropies of two a.e. equal functions are not necessarily the same. We deﬁne a function class denoted by J as follows. f ∈ J ⇐⇒ ∃ g, g = f, a.e., and J(g) < +∞. If n = 1, it is easy to prove J(f + g) ≤ J(f ) + J(g).

209

However if n > 1, E(Q1

*

Q2 ) + E(Q1

Q2 ) ≤ E(Q1 ) + E(Q2 )

is not necessarily valid, and then the Minkowski inequality no longer holds. But if we restrict the ‘inf’ in the deﬁnition of the entropy of a set is only taken over all covers of binary cubes Ik , then the entropy of a function is a norm and this deﬁnition is equivalent to the original one. In order to illustrate the size of J, let us formulate the concept of the Dini class denoted by D. Let f ∈ L(Qn ). Deﬁne |f (x) − f (y)| dxdy. f D = f L(Qn ) + |x − y|n x,y∈Qn f ∈ D ⇐⇒ f D < +∞. Feﬀerman [Fef1] proved the following result for the case of n = 1: Lemma 3.6.1 J(f ) ≤ Cf D , and thus we have D ⊂ J. Since the proof is tedious and troublesome, we do not quote the proof here. Lemma 3.6.2 J is a subset of L log L, that is, J ⊂ L log L. Proof. Let f ∈ J. Without loss of generality, we assume that f is nonnegative. Let Ek = {x ∈ Qn : f (x) > 2k } for k ∈ Z. We conclude that

Here we use the property of the entropy of a set E(S) ≥ |S| log

|Qn |e . |S|

We write # $ Fk = Ek − Ek+1 = x ∈ Qn : 2k < f (x) ≤ 2k+1 . Then we can get

By |Ek | ≤ 2−k f 1 , we have ∞ 1 k+1 |Qn |e k+1 log 2 |Fk | J(f ) ≥ 2 + log 4 2f 1 k=0 |Qn |e 1 + f (x) log f (x)dx + log f (x)dx . ≥ 4 2f 1 E0 Qn This implies f ∈ L log+ L. Consequently, we have the inclusion relationship, D ⊂ J ⊂ L log+ L.

Feﬀerman [Fef1] gave a conjecture as follows. “It seems that the entropy has close relation with the pointwise convergence of the Fourier series.” Taibleson and Weiss [TW1] and Lu-Taibleson-Weiss [LTW1] veriﬁed the conjecture for the casees of unitary and multiple variables, respectively. Theorem 3.6.1 If f ∈ J, then n−1

SR 2 (f )(x) = f (x) holds for a.e. x ∈ Qn with n ∈ N. Since Theorem 3.6.1 is included in Theorem 3.6.5 and Theorem 3.6.6 in the following, we do not give the proof here.

3.6.2 The concept of the block The block becomes more and more important, since it can solve the n−1

problem of the a.e. convergence of SR 2 well and the block space is bigger than the entropy space. Definition 3.6.1 Let 1 < q ≤ ∞. We say that measurable function b is a q-block, if there exists a block Q, where Q is a cube whose edge is parallel to the axis and Q ⊂ Qn , such that (i)

where bk is a q-block, and the group of coeﬃcients {ck } := c satisﬁes / ∞ j |cj | N (c) := |ck | 1 + log < +∞, (3.6.2) |ck | k=1

then we say f ∈ Bq . We deﬁne the number as follows, # $ such that (3.6.1) holds . Nq (f ) = inf N (c) : c = {ck }∞ k=1 By (3.6.2) and the fact that bk is a q-block, we say that the series of the right side of (3.6.1) must be absolutely convergent in the norm of L1 .

Consequently, we immediately get (3.6.4). This completes the proof of Proposition 3.6.1.

Besides, it is obvious that Nq has absolute homogeneity. That is to say, Nq (af ) = |a|Nq (f )

(3.6.5)

for a ∈ R and f ∈Bq . According to (3.6.4), (3.6.5) and the obvious property, Nq (f ) = 0 ⇐⇒ f = 0, we call Nq as the quasi-norm, inherited from Taibleson and Weiss [TW1]. Its diﬀerence from the norm is that the inequality (3.6.4) holds instead of Minkowski’s inequality. Proposition 3.6.2 Bq forms a complete space if it is normed with the quasi-norm Nq . Proof. Assume that {fk }∞ k=0 is a Cauchy sequence in Bq in the norm of quasi-norm Nq . Then we can take a subsequence {gk }∞ k=1 from the sequence, such that (3.6.6) Nq (gk+1 − gk ) < 2−k , for k = 1, 2, . . .. It follows from the inequality (3.6.3) that {fk } is also a Cauchy sequence in L(Qn ). Then by the completeness of L1 , there exists f ∈ L(Qn ), such that ∞ (gk+1 − gk ) (3.6.7) f = g1 + k=1

as k → ∞, which leads to gk → f and fk → f in Bq , as k → ∞. This ﬁnishes the proof of Proposition 3.6.2.

Proposition 3.6.3 Let f ∈ Bq . If g is a measurable function deﬁned on Qn , and |g| ≤ |f |, then we have g ∈ Bq and Nq (g) ≤ Nq (f ). Proof. Since |g| ≤ |f |, there exists a measurable function r(x), |r| ≤ 1, such that g = rf . Suppose that f has a decomposition as f= m j bj . By the fact that rbj is also a block, then g= mj (rbj ) is a decomposition of g. And therefore g ∈ Bq and Nq (g) ≤ Nq (f ). From the above propositions, we can easily deduce that f ∈ Bq implies |f | ∈ Bq and f, g ∈ Bq implies sup{f, g} ∈ Bq and inf{f, g} ∈ Bq . In Deﬁnition 3.6.2, under the condition of (3.6.2), the series (3.6.1) is not only convergent in the norm of L1 , but also a.e. convergent, which is contained in the following iteration principle. The principle of iteration is constructed by Stein and Weiss [SWe1], which is the foundation of the application of the whole block theory. Lemma 3.6.3 If {fk } is a sequence of measurable functions, such that |{x : |fk (x)| > λ}| ≤ λ−1

3.6.3 The structure of the block space In this section, we will study the relation between Bq and Lq , the inclusion relations between Bq corresponding to diﬀerent q ∈ (1, ∞) and the properties of Bq as a complete linear distance space in the norm of Nq . The conjugate space of Bq is a collection of continuous linear functional deﬁned on Bq , denoted by Bq . The conclusion is as follows.

Theorem 3.6.3 Let 1 < q < ∞. Then Bq = L∞ (Qn ). ∗ By Theorem 3.6.3 and L1 = L∞ , we can see that Bq is indeed very close to L1 . Lemma 3.6.4 Suppose that there exists two sequences of numbers: m = {mk } and l = {lk }, satisfying |mk | ≤ |lk |, for all k. Then N (m) ≤ N (l) holds. Proof. We might as well take it for granted that 0 < mk ≤ lk . In fact, it suﬃces to show that, for every ε ≥ 0, for the sequence of numbers m(ε) = {m1 + ε, m2 , m3 , . . .}, we have N (m(ε)) ≥ N (m). Denote ϕ(ε) = N (m(ε)). We merely need to show that ϕ(ε) is monotonically increasing. Denote ∞ mj . A(ε) = ε + j=1

According to the property of translation invariance of the measure and the block, we can have from (3.6.15), (3.6.16) that Lemma 3.6.5 implies Lemma 3.6.6. Lemma 3.6.6 In any interval I with the length of λ for 0 < λ < 1 in Q1 , there exists a subset S such that |S| = |I|(1 + log ν)−q and

where ν is a previously given arbitrary natural number with ν > 1, and q satisﬁes 1 ≤ q < ∞ with 1q + q1 = 1. Proof of Theorem 3.6.2. Firstly, the statement (i) is evident, because each function in Lq (Qn ) is the multiple of a q-block. For the statement (ii), we can only give a proof in the one-dimensional case with the help of Lemma 3.6.6. It is rather more troublesome for the case n > 1. We consider the case of q = ∞ at ﬁrst. In this case, q = 1. Choose a series of intervals Ik in [0, 1] which is not intersected with each other, such that |Ik | = 2−k , for k ∈ N. By Lemma 3.6.6, we can select the set Sk in Ik , such that |Sk | = |Ik |(1 + log nk )−1 , 22k

Let the intervals Ik ⊂ [0, 1] with |Ik | = 2−k , and those Ik do not intersect with each other. By Lemma 3.6.6, we can take Sk ⊂ Ik , such that |Sk | = |Ik |(1 + log nk )−q and

3.6 Spaces related to the a.e. convergence of the Fourier series

225

The statement (ii) in Theorem 3.6.2 is proven for n = 1. One can give the proof in the case of n > 1 for practise. Before proving Theorem 3.6.3, we would like to clarify three facts as follows. Fact I. It is easy to check directly that the continuity of the linear functional l on Bq about the topology generated by the quasi-norm Nq is equivalent to its boundedness. That is to say, the continuity of l is equivalent to the fact that there exists K ≥ 0, such that |l(f )| ≤ KNq (f ), for f ∈ Bq . We denote the minimum of K as l. With this norm, Bq becomes a Banach space. Fact II. We have mentioned that f 1 ≤ Nq (f ), for f ∈ Bq . Fact III. Let f ∈ Lq . We have

1 −1 f b := f q |Qn | q is a q-block, and thus

1

Nq (f ) ≤ |Qn | q f q . Proof of Theorem 3.6.3. Let l ∈ Bq . Restricted on Lq , if {fk } ⊂ Lq and fk → 0 in Lq . Fact III implies that fk → 0 in B q . Thus we have l(fk ) −→ 0. This shows that l restricted on Lq is a bounded linear functional on Lq . Since 1 < q < ∞, and (Lq )∗ = Lq , there exists an unique g ∈ Lq , such that l(f ) = gf, (3.6.19) for all f ∈ Lq . Let N > l and E = {x ∈ Qn : |g(x)| > N }. If |E| > 0, since almost every point of E is its Lebesgue point, then there exists a cube Q ⊂ Qn , such that l |Q ∩ E| < ≤ 1. N |Q|

226

C3. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier series

Let b = |Q|−1 sgngχQ E . b is a q-block. Therefore, we have l(b) =

1 |Q|

Q

|g| ≥ N E

2 |Q E| > l, |Q|

which contradicts with the following inequality |l(b)| ≤ lNq (b) ≤ l. This implies |E| = 0. That is to say, g ∈ L∞ and g∞ ≤ l.

(3.6.20)

Since g ∈ L∞ , we can deﬁne h(f ) =

gf

for f ∈ Bq . Obviously, we have h ∈ Bq . However, by (3.6.19), we know that h = l on Lq . Since Lq is dense in Bq , we have that h, as an element of Bq , equals to l. That is to say, (3.6.19) is actually valid on Bq . It follows from (3.6.19) that |l(f )| ≤ g∞ f 1 , for f ∈ Bq . Fact II implies f 1 ≤ Nq (f ). It follows |l(f )| ≤ g∞ Nq (f ), for f ∈ Bq , which yields that l ≤ g∞ .

(3.6.21)

Combining (3.6.20) with (3.6.21), we immediately have l = g∞ . We can have that Bq can be embedded into L∞ with the same norm. This completes the proof of Theorem 3.6.3. Remark 3.6.1 Theorem 3.6.9 is due to Meyer, Taibleson and Weiss [MTW1] or [LTW2].

This ﬁnishes the proof of Theorem 3.6.4.

3.6.5 The convergence of the Fourier series on Bq For the case of one-dimension, Taibleson and Weiss [TW1] proved the following theorem. Theorem 3.6.5 Let 1 < q ≤ ∞. If f ∈ Bq (Q1 ), then Sk (f, x) −→ f (x) holds for a.e. x ∈ Q1 . Proof. For the case of one-dimension, we merely need to consider in the case of R ∈ Z+ . At this time, we have 1 π f (x − t)DR (t)dt, SR (f, x) = π −π for R ∈ Z+ , where

sin R + 12 t DR (t) = 2 sin( 2t )

is the Dirichlet kernel. We ﬁrst prove that there exists a constant C = Cq > 0, such that, for each q-block b, , - x ∈ Q1 : S∗ (b)(x) > λ ≤ C , (3.6.30) λ for λ > 0, where S∗ is the maximal operator of the partial sum deﬁned as S∗ (f )(x) = sup |SR (f ; x)|. R≥0

Suppose that suppb ⊂ I such that bq ≤ |I| q , where I is an interval in Q1 . It suﬃces to consider under the situation 1 < q < ∞. It is well-known that S∗ is of type (q, q), and thus, we have q , - 1 1 x ∈ Q1 : S∗ (b)(x) > λ ≤ Cq bq ≤ Cq . q−1 λ (|I|λ) λ Hence, when λ ≥ |I|−1 , we have |{S∗ (b) > λ}| ≤

, We substitute x ∈ Q1 : S∗ (b)(x) > λ by {S∗ (b) > λ} for simpleness, and we will adopt the brief form in the following. C , we Let λ < |I|−1 and deﬁne ρ(x, I) = inf t∈I |x − t|. Since |DR (t)| ≤ |t| have that 1 C C |SR (b, x)| = b(t)DR (x − t)dt ≤ b1 = . π I ρ(x, I) ρ(x, I) And it follows that S∗ (b)(x) ≤

Consequently, we conclude that C |{S∗ (b) > λ}| ≤ >λ ρ(x, I) Taking |I| <

1 λ

into consideration, we ρ(x, I) < C λ

= ρ(x, I) < C λ

.

can get that C < . λ

This means that (3.6.30) is valid. Since f ∈ Bq , and by the decomposition in blocks as well as (3.6.30), we can use the iteration principle of Lemma 3.6.3 to deduce that |{x : |x| < π, S∗ (f ) > λ}| ≤

where 1 < q < ∞. Theorem 3.6.6 established the almost everywhere convergence property of the Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier series at the critical index on the function class of (∪q>1 Bq ) ∩ L log+ L. It is a beautiful result, which includes Theorem 3.6.1. By the way, we have to mention that Theorem 3.6.1 was independently proven by Sato [Sa1]. In Sato’s paper, he also constructed 5 such a function f ∈ L(Q1 ), J(f ) < ∞, but f ∈ / (L log + L log+ log+ L D). The example illustrates that D is a proper subset of J, and on the other

hand, Sj¨ olin’s theorem about the a.e.-convergence in [Sj1] cannot contain Theorem 3.6.1. Finally, we want to point out that the block space is not only applicable for the research of the a.e.-convergence problem about the triangle Fourier series, but for the Walsh-Fourier series as well. Wang [Wa4] have a notation about this. In the following, we introduce certain building blocks called smooth blocks, and deﬁne spaces generated by smooth blocks. A smooth block is obtained by imposing certain smoothness on a block. The reason for studying spaces generated by smooth blocks is to investigate the relation between the smoothness imposed on the blocks and the rate of convergence of Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier integral at the critical index. Let us now turn to the deﬁnition of smooth blocks. A (q, λ)-block, 1 < q ≤ ∞, is a function b that is supported on a cube Q satisfying 1

(Rn ) be the function where Lqλ denotes the Bessel potential space. Let Bqλ/ space that consists of all functions f of the form, f = k mk bk , where each bk is a (q, λ)-block, and N ({mk }) < ∞. Note that Bq0 (Rn ) = Bq (Rn ). A natural conjecture on the relation between the smoothness and the rate of convergence is formulated as follows. For 0 ≤ λ < 2, f ∈ Bqλ (Rn ) implies n−1 1 2 BR f (x) − f (x) = o Rλ for a.e. x ∈ Rn , as R → ∞. Lu and Wang in [LW1] only obtain an aﬃrmative answer for λ = 1. Their results are stated as follows. Theorem 3.6.7 If f ∈ Bq1 (Rn ) with 1 < q ≤ ∞, then n−1 1 2 BR f (x) − f (x) = o R holds for a.e. x ∈ Rn , as R → ∞. The proof of Theorem 3.6.7 is based on Lp -estimates of a maximal operator.

We write # $ (n−1)/2 R BR b (x) − b(x) Jn− 1 (R|y|) n+1 2 [b(x + y) − b(x)] = CR 1 dy n R (R|y|)n− 2 ∞ n+1 = CR [b(x + tξ) − b(x)]dσ(ξ) 0

Since (3.6.42) implies # $ 1 (n−1)/2 BR g (x) − g(x) = o lim R→∞ R for a.e. x ∈ Rn and g ∈ Lq1 (Rn ), we have # $ x : lim sup R B (n−1)/2 g (x) − g(x) > λ/2 R R→∞

The uniform convergence and approximation

Concerning the problems of the convergence and approximation in the scale of uniform, here, using C(Rn ) instead of L∞ (Rn ), we have mentioned in Section 3.4. However, the order is α > α∞ = n−1 2 . In this section, we mainly discuss the situation of the critical index. Parallel to Theorem 3.5.4 about the pointwise convergence, Lu [Lu2] obtained the following result. Theorem 3.7.1 Let f ∈ C(Qn ) with n ≥ 2. The following two assertions hold. (a) If the condition (3.5.10) uniformly holds for x ∈ Qn and r ∈ [h, r0 ], then we have n−1 2 S R (f ) − f → 0 C

as R → ∞. (b) If

ω 6 (f ; δ) = o

1 log 1δ

as δ → 0+ , then the condition of (a) is satisﬁed, where , ω 6 (f ; δ) = sup |fx (t + h) − fx (t)| : x ∈ Qn , 0 ≤ h ≤ δ, t > 0 is the modulus of continuity introduced by Golubov [Go1].

3.7 The uniform convergence and approximation

245

Proof. For any ﬁxed point x0 ∈ Qn , we denote 1 Qx0 = x : x − x0 ∈ Qn . 2 Obviously, the following propositions are equivalent: n−1 2 (I) SR (f ) − f → 0, as R → ∞. C n−1 2 → 0, as R → ∞, for x0 ∈ Qn . (II) SR (f ) − f C(Q0 )

(III) For x0 ∈

(IV) For x0 ∈ Qn , we have √ 2 nπ cos tR − [gx (t) − g(x)] lim sup R→∞ s∈Q0 π t R

nπ 2

dt = 0.

Here gC(Q0 ) = sup{|g(x)| : x ∈ Q0 }. We have to point out that it is quite obvious that (I) ⇐⇒ (II) and (II) ⇐⇒ (III) follows from Stein’s theorem (see Theorem 3.2.3). (III) ⇐⇒ n−1

(IV) follows from the following facts, the integral expression of BR 2 (g), the uniform continuity of g on Q0 , the asymptotic formula of Bessel functions √ and the conclusion that when t > 2 nπ, gx (t) = 0, for x ∈ Q0 . Hence, to prove the conclusion of (I), it suﬃces to prove (IV). We may take it for granted that x0 = 0, and in the condition (3.5.10), r0 ∈ 0, 12 . Firstly, we will show that √ 2 nπ cos tR − nπ 2 dt = 0. (3.7.1) lim sup [gx (t) − g(x)] R→∞ x∈Q − 1 Qn r0 t 0 2

Now let x0 = 0 and g(x) = f (x)χQn (x).

(3.7.2)

For any ε > 0, there exists ϕ ∈ C ∞ (Rn ) with |ϕ| ≤ 1, such that ϕ(x) = 1, if x ∈ Qn , and ϕ(x) = 0, if x ∈ / (1 + ε) · Qn . Let h = f ϕ. Then we have √ 2 nπ cos tR − nπ 2 [gx (t) − hx (t)] dt r0 t √ 2 nπ dt |g(x + tξ) − h(x + tξ)|dσ(ξ) ≤ t n−1 r0 S 1 ≤ n |g(y) − h(y)|dy r0 r0 <|y−x|<2√nπ M M ≤ n |(1 + ε)Qn − Qn | = n ((1 + ε)n − 1) |Qn | r0 r0 < Cε, (3.7.3) where we may assume that 0 < ε < 1. Since h is uniformly continuous, if R is big enough, we have √ nπ n cos tR − 2 dt < ε, hx (t) r0 t for x ∈ Rn . By (3.7.3) and (3.7.4), we can easily get (3.7.2). Now it remains to prove the following equality. r0 nπ cos tR − 2 dt = 0. lim sup [gx (t) − g(x)] R→∞ x∈ 1 Qn π t

However, the estimate we can get at this time is uniformly valid for x ∈ 12 Qn . Thus we have proven (3.7.5), from which we can induce the conclusion of (I) directly. In order to prove (II), it suﬃces to show that when

hold uniformly for x ∈ Qn and r ∈ [h, r0 ]. This completes the proof of Theorem 3.7.1. The conclusion of (II) shows that Theorem 3.7.1 is stronger than the corresponding result obtained by Golubov. Of course, the condition (3.5.10) in Theorem 3.7.1 (and Theorem 3.5.4) can be weakened into unilateral condition. The unilateral condition means that: if |A(t)| = o(α(t)) as t → t0 , then A(t) ≤ ε(t)α(t) or A(t) ≥ −ε(t)α(t), where ε(t) ≥ 0 and ε(t) = o(1) as t → t0 . Jiang has obtained such results and extended these conclusions to the situation of the conjugate series (see Jiang [J1]). Making use of the Lebesgue constant, one can deduce the following results immediately (see Wang [Wa6]). Theorem 3.7.2 Let f ∈ C(Qn ) with n > 1. Then we have n−1 2 = O(log R)ω2 f ; 1 , S (f ) − f R R C where ω2 is the 2-ordered continuous norm of f .

where LR is the Lebesgue constant of SR 2 , and LR = O(log R). At the same time, just as we do in Section 3.4, 1 , f − gC = ER (f )c ≤ Cω2 f ; R we conclude that n−1 S 2 (g) − g R

for R > 2. In the above estimate, we have utilized the relation between the modulus of continuity of the derivative of the best triangle polynomial approximation and that of the function which is to be approximated. This relation can be easily extended from the corresponding result in the unitary case. Combining all the above results, we can have (3.7.8) which concludes the proof.

Remark 3.7.1 From the proof, we can see that if n is an odd number with n ≥ 3, there is a more accurate estimate n−1 f − S 2 (f ) = O(log R)ER (f ) + O ω2 f ; 1 . (3.7.9) R R C

For functions with higher derivatives, the approximation order can be increased. Definition 3.7.1 Let f ∈ C(Qn ). If f is absolutely continuous with respect ∂f are essentially bounded on Qn , for to all xj and its partial derivative ∂x j j = 1, 2, . . . , n, then we call f ∈ W 1 L∞ , where L∞ does not refer to C, but ∂f is essentially bounded). If ∂x ∈ W 1 L∞ , j = 1, 2, . . . , n, then it implies that j f ∈ W 2 L∞ . Besides, Lipα refers to the function class of ω(f ; δ) = O(δ α ) as δ → 0+ where δ ∈ (0, 1]. Here it should be pointed out that we limit to consider the periodical functions only. It is obvious that W 1 L∞ = Lip1. 2f Obviously, if f ∈ W 2 L∞ , then ∂x∂i ∂x is essentially bounded, for i, j = j 1, 2, . . . , n. We also denote the subclass of the functions in C(Qn ) whose j-th partial derivatives are continuous in C j (Qn ). Theorem 3.7.3 If f ∈ W 2 L∞ , then we have n−1 log R 2 S R (f ) − f = O R2 C and

Therefore, combining (3.7.12) with (3.7.14), we can get (3.7.10), (3.7.13) and (3.7.14) together giving (3.7.11). This completes the proof of Theorem 3.7.3.

Since the role of SR 2 is the similar as that of Fourier partial sum in unitary variable in the spaces of L1 (Qn ) and C(Qn ), it is natural to ask whether n−1 1 R n−1 2 Sr 2 dr σR := R 0 is considerably equivalent to the Fej´er means or not.

3.9

The saturation problem of the uniform approximation

Let f ∈ C(Qn ). Using the non-zero-ordered Bochner-Riesz means to approximate to f , we have that the order of the best approximation of f is R−2 as R → ∞, except for the trivial case when f is a constant. That is to say, the saturation of the uniform approximation is R−2 . It is well-known that if α (f ) − f C = o R−2 SR holds for α = 0, then we have 1 2 lim R [S α (f ; x) − f (x)] e−im·x dx = 0, R→∞ (2π)n Qn R for every m ∈ Zn . That is, α |m|2 lim R2 1 − 2 − 1 αm (f ) = 0 R→∞ R holds. Since α = 0, from the following equality α |m|2 2 1− 2 − 1 = −|m|2 α, lim R R→∞ R we can easily conclude that αm (f ) = 0, if m = 0. consequently, f is a constant. The ﬁrst question which we will discuss is how to identify the saturation α }. In [J1], Jiang gave the characterization of the saturation class class of {SR n−1 if α > 2 . The second question is to investigate the saturation problem of the opα } given by the previous section. In the case of α = n−1 and the erator {σR 2

260

C3. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier series

dimension n > 1, Jiang [J1] also obtained the characterization of the saturation class. He carried out general discussion about the saturation problem, referring to Lp , 1 ≤ p < ∞ and C. Here, we only discuss in the context of C(Qn ). The same steps can be applied to the situation of Lp . Definition 3.9.1 Suppose that {TR } with R > 0 and R → ∞ is a family of bounded linear operators mapping from C(Qn ) to itself, and ϕ(·) is a positive function monotonically decreasing to zero. We say {TR } is saturated on C(Qn ), with the saturation of ϕ(R), if the following two conditions hold. (1) f − TR (f )C = o(ϕ(R)) ⇐⇒ f = constant, (2) there exists f0 ∈ C(Qn ), f0 is not a constant, and f0 − TR (f0 )C = O ϕ(R) . We denote the collection of all f0 which satisﬁes the condition (2) by F (T, C), and call it the saturation class of {TR }. n Now suppose that, ) and the ﬁxed λR (m) with m ∈ Zn and / for f ∈ C(Qim·x is uniformly convergent with respect R > 0, the series λR (m)Cm (f )e to x, where Cm (f ) is the coeﬃcient of f . Thus it is the Fourier series of the function g in C(Qn ), We denote g by TR (f ). In this way, we have deﬁned a linear operator TR , the multiplier operator, which is identiﬁed by {λR (m)} deﬁned by λR (m)Cm (f )eim·x (3.9.1) TR (f )(x) =

for R > 0. Definition 3.9.2 Suppose that {ψ(m)}m∈Zn is a sequence of numbers. # V C, {ψ(m)} = f ∈ C(Qn ) : f is not a constant, and there exists an

$ essentially bounded function g, such that ψ(m)Cm (f ) = Cm (g), ∀ m ∈ Zn .

Theorem 3.9.1 Suppose that the linear operator TR deﬁned by (3.9.1) is bounded, λR (0) = 1, and there exists a positive function ϕ(R) which is monotonically decreasing to zero, such that 1 − λR (m) = ψ(m) = 0, R→∞ ϕ(R) lim

(3.9.2)

3.9 The saturation problem of the uniform approximation

261

for m ∈ Zk with m = 0. Then the following two conclusions I and II are satisﬁed. (I) {TR } is saturated on C(Qn ), with the saturation of ϕ(R). (II) Let f ∈ C(Qn ). We have the implication relationship for the following three propositions. (a) f is not a constant and there uniformly holds about R im·x λR (m)ψ(m)Cm (f )e = O(1), ∞

(b) f ∈ V (C, {ψ(m)}), (c) f ∈ F (T, C). Then, we have (a) =⇒ (b). If we also know that the norm of the operator satisﬁes TR ≤ M < +∞, (3.9.3) for R > 0, then we have (c) =⇒ (a).

Proof. Choose f ∈ C(Qn ) such that f − TR (f )C = o ϕ(R) . Then for m ∈ Zn with m = 0, we have [f (x) − TR (f )(x)]e−imx dx Cm (f )(1 − λR (m)) = (2π)−n Qn

= o(ϕ(R)), as R → ∞. By the condition (3.9.2), we have Cm (f ) = 0 for m = 0, and thus f = constant. On the other hand, we choose f0 (x) = eix1 and denote e1 = (1, 0, . . . , 0). Then it follows that f0 − TR (f0 )C = |1 − λR (e1 )| = O(ϕ(R)), as R → ∞, which implies that {TR } is saturated, with the saturation of ϕ(R). Next we show the conclusions II. Assume (a) is valid. Denote λR (m)ψ(m)Cm (f )eim·x . FR (x) = Since L∞ is weak ∗ sequentially compact, as the conjugate space of L1 , in the bounded family {FR } of L∞ , there exists a subsequence {FRj }∞ j=1 , with Rj → +∞ as j → ∞, such that FRj → g ∈ L∞ (Qn )

in the sense of weak ∗ topology. Thus we have −n −im·x −n FRj (x)e dx = (2π) lim (2π) j→∞

Qn

g(x)e−im·x dx = Cm (g),

for all m ∈ Zn . That is, lim λRj (m)ψ(m)Cm (f ) = Cm (g).

j→∞

It follows from (3.9.2) that λR (m) → 1 with m = 0 as R → ∞ and λR (0) = 1. Hence, we have ψ(m)Cm (f ) = Cm (g), for all m ∈ Zn , which shows (b) is valid. Assume (3.9.3) holds. Let f ∈ F (T, C), that is to say, (c) is valid. Since f − TR (f )C = O ϕ(R) , we have that TR (f − TR (f ))C = O(ϕ(R)). uniformly holds for R > R > 0. That is to say, 1 − λR (m) im·x λR (m) Cm (f )e ≤ M < +∞. ϕ(R) C For the ﬁxed R , the function hR (x) :=

λR (m)

1 − λR (m) Cm (f )eim·x ϕ(R)

is also a bounded family in the norm of C(Qn ), for R > R . By the property of being ∗ weak sequentially compact, there exists a monotone increasing sequence Rj → ∞, such that hRj → h∗R ∈ L∞ (Qn ) in the sense of ∗ weak topology, keeping h∗R ∞ ≤ M for R > 0. Since 1 − λRj (m) = ψ(m), lim j→∞ ϕ(Rj ) we have

λR (m)ψ(m)Cm (f ) = Cm (h∗R ).

3.9 The saturation problem of the uniform approximation That is to say,

263

λR (m)ψ(m)Cm (f )eim·x

is the Fourier series of h∗R in L∞ , while h∗R ∞ ≤ M , for R > 0, which is exactly the conclusion (a). This completes the proof of Theorem 3.9.1. Now we investigate two concrete operators. Firstly, we investigate the Abel-Poisson means. Let f ∈ L(Qn ). Deﬁne the Abel-Poisson means of f as Pε (f ; x) =

e−ε|m| Cm (f )eim·x ,

ψ(x) =

It follows that

ψ(εx) = F (2π)n ε−n P (ε−1 y) (x).

264

C3. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier series

Since the function (2π)n ε−n P (ε−1 y) satisﬁes the condition of the Poisson summation formula, the kernel Pε here has the following expression, y + 2πm n −n (2π) ε P Pε (y) = ε m∈Zn − n+1 n−1 n+1 2 .

Theorem 3.9.2 The Abel-Poisson means {Pε } is saturated in C(Qn ), with a saturation of ε, ε → 0+ , and the following three properties are equivalent. / (a) e−ε|m| |m|Cm (f )eim·x = O(1). C

(b) there exists g ∈ L∞ (Qn ), such that |m|Cm (f ) = Cm (g), for m ∈ Zn . (c) f ∈ F (P, C) or f is a constant. Proof. Since lim

1 − e−ε|m| = |m|, ε

for m ∈ Zn , by Theorem 3.9.1, we can have that the saturation of {Pε } is ε. In addition, by (3.9.8) we can see that (3.9.3) is also satisﬁed. And thus by Theorem 3.9.1, it follows that (c) =⇒ (a) and (a) =⇒ (b). Assume that (b) is valid. By (3.9.8) and |Pε (g; x)| ≤ g∞ , it follows that ε ε 1 1 im·x Pη (g; x)dη e dx = Pη (g; x)eim·x dx dη n (2π)n Qn (2π) n 0 0 Q ε e−η|m| Cm (g)dη, (3.9.12) = 0

C3. Bochner-Riesz means of multiple Fourier series It follows that f − Pε (f )C ≤ g∞ ε,

which follows (c) is valid. This ﬁnishes the proof of Theorem 3.9.2. Another example is the Gauss-Weierstrass means. Deﬁne − |m|2 WR (f ; x) = e R2 Cm (f )eim·x ,

Theorem 3.9.3 The Gauss-Weierstrass means {WR } is saturated in C(Qn ), with the saturation of R−2 , and the following three are equivalent. / − |M |22 2 im·x = O(1), and f is not a constant, |R| |m| C (f )e (a) m e C , 2 - (b) f ∈ V C, |m| , (c) f ∈ F (W, C). For the application later on, we can deﬁne the operator Vεl for ε > 0 and l = 1, 2 as follows Vεl (f ; x) =

n+1 e−(ε|m|)l 1 − (ε|m|)l Cm (f )eim·x .

Lemma 3.9.1 Vεl is an uniformly bounded linear operator mapping from C(Qn ) to itself. That is to say, for any ε > 0, the operator norm satisﬁes Vεl ≤ M < +∞.

n ϕ2 (s) = O s− 2 −2 as → +∞, which gets (3.9.17) and thus completes the proof of Lemma 3.9.1.

Lemma 3.9.2 Deﬁne a linear operator Hεl with ε > 0 and l = 1, 2 on L∞ (Qn ) as "n+1 ! 1 l −(ε|m|)l e Cm (f )eim·x 1 − 1 − (ε|m|)l Hε (f ; x) = (ε|m|)l m=0

Then, the norm of Hεl is uniformly bounded from L∞ (Qn ) to C(Qn ), that is, l (3.9.19) Hε (f ) ≤ M f ∞ , C

for ε > 0, where the positive number M is independent of f , l and ε. Proof. By the Poisson summation formula, it suﬃces to show that "n+1 ! l 1 F e−|x| 1 − 1 − |x|l (·) ∈ L(Rn ). |x|l Hence, we merely need to prove that ∞ l n+1 n n l 1 − (1 − t ) ψl (s) := e−t t 2 J n2 −1 (ts)dts 2 ∈ L(R+ ). l t 0 It follows from Lemma 3.9.1 that n

Therefore, we have

as s → +∞. This follows ψ1 ∈ L(R+ ). Similar to the estimate of ϕ2 in Lemma 3.9.1, we can get that ψ2 (s) = O(s−j ) for all natural number j as s → +∞. And therefore, ψ2 ∈ L(R+ ). This completes the proof of Lemma 3.9.2. Theorem 3.9.4 A family of operators {Vεl } with l = 1, 2 and ε → 0 is saturated on C, with a saturation of εl . The saturation class is $

Therefore, according to Theorem 3.9.1, we have the saturation of {Vεl } is εl . By Lemma 3.9.1, we know that the condition (3.9.3) is valid (see (3.9.16)). Then by Theorem 3.9.1, we have

(3.9.20)

which follows f − Vε1 (f ) ≤ f − Pε (f )C + Pε (f ) − Vε1 (f ) = O(ε). C Thus we have that f ∈ F (V 1 , C), And this implies F (V 1 , C) = V (C, {|m|}). In the case of l = 2, we need the help of Theorem 3.9.3, and the other steps are the same as that of l = 1. This completes the proof of Theorem 3.9.4. 1l : Lemma 3.9.3 Let 0 < ε ≤ 1 and l = 1, 2.

for k ∈ Z+ , and η ∈ C ∞ [0, 1), we have ϕ ∈ C ∞ [0, 1). It is obvious that when k = 0, 1, . . . , n, we have ϕ(k) (1) = lim ϕ(k) (t) = 0 t→1−

and

ϕ(n+1) (1) = lim ϕ(n+1) (t). t→1−

Hence, we have ϕ ∈ C n+1 [0, 1] and ϕ(k) (1) = 0 for k = 0, 1, . . . , n. Deﬁne h0 (t) = ϕ(t) and hj+1 (t) = hj (t)t−1 for j = 0, 1, . . . , n. Obviously, when j = 1, 2, . . . , n, we have hj (t) =

for 0 < |m| < R, and λR (0) = 1. Since f ∈ V (C, {|m|}), then there exists g ∈ L∞ (Qn ), such that |m|Cm (f ) = Cm (g), for m ∈ Zn . We conclude that 1R (f ; x)

The steps of the proof are the same as that of Lemma 3.9.5 with the help of Lemmas 3.9.3 and 3.9.6, so we skip without the proof here. Theorem 3.9.6 Let α > n−1 2 . The saturation of the family of the operators α } is R−2 , and the saturation class is V (C, {|m|2 }). {SR We have to point out that when α > n−1 2 , Theorem 3.9.6 gave a characα }.

The above discussion is also suitable for the generalized Riesz means l,α SR (f ; x) for l ∈ N (see [J1]). The deﬁnition of the generalized Riesz means is as follows, α |m|l l,α 1− l Cm (f )eim·x .

Cheng and Chen [ChC1] discussed about the uniform approximation probl,α with l ∈ N. Wang [Wa5] went further to carry out more general lem of SR discussions about the operator. Finally, we will characterize the constructive property of the functions in F (S α , C) with α > n−1 2 .

Theorem 3.9.7 Let f ∈ C(Qn ), f is not a constant and α > n−1 2 . Then f ∈ F (S α , C) if and only if either of the following two conditions holds. α (f ) = O(1), for R ≥ 0; (a) SR C d d (b) fx (t) = sup fx (t) = O(t), for t > 0. dt x∈Qn dt C Proof. In fact, the condition (a) is exactly (3.9.27). Obviously it is the necessary and suﬃcient condition for f ∈ F (S α , C) with α > n−1 2 . Now let f ∈ F (S α , C) ﬁrstly. It follows from the property of uniform convergence that f (x) = S1α (f ; x) +

∞ S2αj+1 (f ; x) − S2αj (f ; x)

uniformly holds. By the well-known Bernstein inequality, we have ∂ α α j+1 α S2j+1 (f ) − S2αj (f ) C ∂xk S2j+1 (f ; x) − S2j (f ; x) ≤ 2 C ≤ 2j+1 S2αj+1 (f ) − f C + f − S2αj (f ) C = M 2−j , for j ∈ Z+ and k = 1, 2, . . . , n. Then the series of the right side of (3.9.28) are uniformly convergent. Thus we have ∞ " ∂f (x) ∂ α ∂ ! α = S1 (f ; x) + (3.9.29) S2j+1 (f ; x) − S2αj (f ; x) ∂xk ∂xk ∂xk j=0

uniformly with respect to x. This implies f ∈ C 1(Qn ). Thus we have Γ(n/2) d fx (t) = f (x + tξ)dσ(ξ) 2π n/2 dt |ξ|=1 n ∂f (u) Γ(n/2) ξj dσ(ξ). = ∂uj 2π n/2 |ξ|=1 j=1

Strong summation

The strong summation problem is to ﬁnd certain conditions for the limit q 1 R n−1 2 Sr (f ; x) − f (x) dr = 0 (3.10.1) lim R→∞ R 0 to hold, where q > 0. When n > 1, Bochner and Chandrasekharan [BoC1] initiated to investigate the problem. They obtained that the validity of (3.10.1) is a local property of the functions, that is to say, if f vanishes at the neighborhood of x0 , then (3.10.1) holds for q = 2 at the point of x0 . Besides of the above, they also characterized a suﬃcient condition for (3.10.1) to hold in the case q = 2, that is to say, if f ∈ L2 (B(x0 , η)) for some η > 0 and t |fx0 (τ ) − f (x0 )|2 dτ = o(t), (3.10.2) 0

as t → 0, then the equality (3.10.1) holds for q = 2 at x0 . In 1958, using the method of interpolation of operators, Stein proved that when 1 n−1 2 −1 − 1− δ> 2 p p and 1 0 0 is of type (p, p). And thus we can deduce that 2 1 R δ lim Su (f ; x) − f (x) du = 0 R→∞ R 0 holds almost everywhere x ∈ Qn for f ∈ Lp (Qn ). The case of L1 is especially important. However, the related conclusion has not been proven yet. In 1985, Lu [Lu7] achieved breakthrough result about the strong summation problem. Theorem 3.10.1 Let f ∈ L(Qn ) with n ≥ 2. If there exists δ > 0, such that f vanishes in B(x0 , δ), then we have q 1 R n−1 2 S lim (f ; x ) r 0 dr = 0, R→∞ R 0 for every q > 0.

Since f ∈ L(Qn ), associate to ε > 0, there exists ξ > 0 such that for any set E ⊂ Rn , if |E| < ξ, then |f (x)|dx < ε E

holds. Geometrically, there exists η0 > 0, such that for every m ∈ Zn and every γ ≥ 0, the measure of the set Em,γ = {x : x ∈ Qn + 2πm, γ < |x| < γ + η0 } is always smaller than ξ. It follows that |f (x)|dx < ε.

Now we set η0 < 12 δ. We will prove that, for any γ ≥ 0 and any η > 0, if η ≤ η0 , then we have γ+η |f0 (t)|dt ≤ Cε, (3.10.12) γ

where C is independedent of ε, γ and η. Since f vanishes in B(0, δ), when γ < 12 δ, then the left side of (3.10.12) became 0. Assume γ ≥ 12 δ, meanwhile, 2γ > η0 + γ. Thus we conclude that γ+η γ+η0 1 |f0 (t)|dt ≤ n−1 |f0 (t)|tn−1 dt γ γ γ 2n−1 ≤ |f (x)|dx (γ + η0 )n−1 γ<|x|<γ+η0 2n−1 |f (x)|dx. = (γ + η)n−1 m Em,γ Since the order of the number of the integer points falling in the spherical shell γ < |x| < γ +η0 and taking the form of 2πm with m ∈ Zn is the same as that of (γ + η0 )n−1 , we say that the number of m which guarantees Em,δ = ∅ shares the same order with (γ + η0 )n−1 . Hence, by (3.10.11), we can obtain (3.10.12). In this way, combining (3.10.12) with (3.10.8) yields that MR (|s1 |) ds1 < CRε. |f0 (s1 − u)| (3.10.13) |s1 | |s1 |< 1 η0 2

The conjugate Fourier integral and series

4.1

The conjugate integral and the estimate of the kernel

The conjugate integral considered here is based on the singular integral theory by Calder´ on and Zygmund [CZ1]. We use normal notations. Let n denote the number of dimensions and (n) (n) P (·) ∈ Ak for k ≥ 1. Here Ak denotes the collection of all the homogeneous harmonic polynomials of degree k with n variables. We consider the kernel K(x) = P (x)|x|−n−k , x = 0, whose principal value Fourier transform can be obtained as K k Γ P (y) 2 K(y) = (−i)k n , n+k · n |y|k π22 Γ 2 for y = 0, and K(0) = 0. For any f ∈ L(Rn ), we deﬁne, x ∈ Rn , 1 6 fε (x) = f (x − y)K(y)dy, (2π)n |y|>ε for ε > 0, and

f6(x) = lim f6ε (x). ε→0+

(4.1.1)

(4.1.2)

The function f6 is the extension of the Hilbert transform of univariate function, which is called the multiple Hilbert transform by Calder´on and 293

294

C4. The conjugate Fourier integral and series

Zygmund. Here, we prefer to call f6 the Calder´ on-Zygmund transform of f . It is well known that the Calder´ on-Zygmund transform is of type (p, p) for 1 < p < ∞, as well as weak type (1, 1) (see Stein [St4] or [St5]). The conjugate Fourier integral of f is the following integral Rn

ix·y f(y)K(y)e dy.

(4.1.3)

From (4.1.1) and (4.1.2), it is easy to see that f6 is the convolution of f and should be (f ∗ K) = f6 and K in the sense of principal value. Formally, fˆK then (4.1.3) is the inversion of the Fourier transform of f6. So we should turn back to f6. However, these discussions are formal. In fact, we can only discuss the relation between some kind of linear means of (4.1.3) and f6. We deﬁne the Bochner-Riesz means of the conjugate Fourier integral (4.1.3) as α σ1 R (f ; x) =

α |y|2 fˆ(y)K(y) 1− 2 eix·y dy, R |y|
(4.1.4)

where the index α can be taken as some complex whose real part is bigger than −1 and R > 0. (n)

This lemma was proven by Chang [Cha1]. For the sake of integrality, we give the proof in the following.

4.1 The conjugate integral and the estimate of the kernel

Proof. We have that y (1 − |y|2 )α0 +β eix·y dy P |y| |y|<1 B 1 : ξ (1 − t2 )α0 +β eix·ξ dσ(ξ) dt P = |ξ| 0 |ξ|=t 1 2 α0 +β n−1 (1 − t ) t P (ξ)eitx·ξ dσ(ξ)dt. = 0

By the property of transforms of radial functions (see [SW1]), we can get that y (1 − |y|2 )α0 +β eix·y dy P |y| |y|<1 1 n J n +k−1 (t|x|) x 2 α0 +β n−1 k 2 2 (1 − t ) t (i) (2π) P dt. (4.1.7) = n −1 |x| 2 (t|x|) 0 By the series expression of the Bessel functions and changing the order of integration and summation, we have that ∞ n (−1)j x k i (2π) 2 P |x| j!

296

C4. The conjugate Fourier integral and series

we can get the lemma proven. In addition, for u ≥ 1, Chang [Cha1] also gave an asymptotic estimate of the function E(n, β, k, u). That is, E(n, β, k, u) =

R2 (β, u) c(n, k) R1 (β, u) + n+k+1 + n+k+1+β un+k u u cos u − π2 (n + k + β) +A(n, β) , un+k+β

(4.1.8)

where both R1 and R2 are bounded about u. The estimate is enough for the case when |Reβ| ≤ 1. However, for further need, it is necessary to give a more accurate estimate. Lemma 4.1.2 Let β = σ + iτ and − n+1 2 + h ≤ σ ≤ G with 0 < h < G < ∞. For u ≥ 1, we have c(n, k) G(n, β, k, u) H(n, β, k, u) + + n+k+2 un+k un+k+2+β

Therefore, Aλ (ε)(t) is bounded in the neighborhood of the origin and for t ≥ 1, Aλ (ε)(t) is not bigger than the product of a polynomial about t and 2 e−t . Moreover, for m ∈ [0, λ) Z, Am (ε)(t) also satisﬁes = 0. Am (ε)(t) t=0

4.2 Convergence of Bochner-Riesz means for conjugate Fourier integral 305 Together with the fact that b(n, k)B(n, −β) = 0, this leads to the conclusion of Theorem 4.2.1. Theorem 4.2.1 above improves the corresponding results by Lippman [Li1] and Golubov [Go2].

By Theorem 4.2.1, we merely need to verify that if β = 0, then (4.2.3) holds. That is, ∞ cos(Rt + θ) ψx0 (t) dt = o(1), (4.2.9) I(R) := 1 t R

Corollary 4.2.1 Let f ∈ L(Rn ) with n ≥ 2. If there exists η > 0 such that η −1 t |f (x0 + tξ) − f (x0 )|dσ(ξ)dt < ∞, (4.2.11) 0

Since f ∈ L(Rn ), ψx0 (t), as a function of t, is in L((δ1 , +∞)). Hence, by the continuous property of integral, we have that there exists δ > 0 with δ ≤ δ1 , such that when 0 < η < δ, we have ∞ −1 δ1 |ψx0 (t + η) − ψx0 (t)|dt < ε. δ1

Corollary 4.2.1 gives the Dini type criteria for the convergence of the conjugate Bochner-Riesz means, which was ﬁrst established by Lippman [Li1].

Combining (4.2.17)–(4.2.20) yields that Theorem 4.2.3 holds. It is easy to see that if 0 ≤ β < 1, then, under the condition of Theorem 4.2.3, we have R n−1 1 lim σ 1u 2 −β (f ; x0 )du − f61 (x0 ) = 0. (4.2.21) R R→∞ R 0 Since the condition (4.2.1) is obviously valid at the Lebesgue points, we can deduce from the weak (1, 1) type of the Calder´on-Zygmund transform that the limit in (4.2.1) exists almost everywhere ﬁnite. Therefore, as a corollary, we can get the following theorem. Theorem 4.2.4 If f ∈ L(Rn ), then we have 1 R n−1 σ 1u 2 (f ; x)du = f6(x), lim R→∞ R 0

Of course, if we replace σ 1u 2 by σ 1u 2 −β with 0 ≤ β < 1, then the conclusion still holds. At last, we have to point out that, from Theorem 4.2.1, it is easy to see α0 that for the critical index α0 , the convergence of σ1 R (f ) only depends on the local property of the functions, while things are diﬀerent for the order below the critical index.

is called the conjugate series of σ(f ). By iterated superposition, this notion can be extended from the case of one variable to the case of multiple variables. For a function of n variables, there are 2n − 1 conjugate series and the status of these conjugate series are quite asymmetric, or we say their extent of the conjugation are diﬀerent. Thus, the above factors complicate the research of the conjugate series. Especially, when we investigate the series by the spherical limit, the notion of conjugation is not quite adequate for the case of multiple variables. Hence, we will study the conjugate in the sense of Calder´ on-Zygmund. Here, we only consider the conjugate series in correspondence with the spherical harmonic kernel which is parallel to the concept of the conjugate integral in the previous two sections. is the Fourier transform of the Suppose that K(x) = P (x)|x|−n−k and K principal value of K.

If we choose c = 2, then (4.3.3) coincides with (4.3.2). Since we are familiar with (4.3.2), we only discuss the case when n ≥ 2 in the following. Let m ∈ Zn . We deﬁne 1 Im = K(x + 2πm)dx.

And thus (4.3.14), which is worth being discussed, is the limit procedure when ε → 0+ .

By the uniform convergence of the series on the right side of (4.4.11), we directly obtain the following result from Theorem 4.4.1. Proposition 4.4.1 For Re β > 0, we have →∞ 1 t 1 α0 +β 6 tn+k−1 E(n, β, k, t)dt, SR (f ; x) = ψx |Q| C(n, k) 0 R 8ρ 8∞ where we use the notation 0 = limρ→∞ 0 and ψx (s) = f (x − sξ)P (ξ)dσ(ξ).

Remark 4.4.1 When Re β ≤ 0, the above equation does not hold since we cannot prove the locally uniform convergence of the series (4.4.9). From this, we can see that the index α0 = n−1 also has the critical properties 2 for the conjugate Bochner-Riesz means. Later on, a series of facts will be supplemented to illustrate it.

C4. The conjugate Fourier integral and series

According to Lemma 4.5.1 and 4.5.2, and by Stein’s interpolation theorem, we can imitate the ways of dealing with the Bochner-Riesz operator in Section 3.5. Theorem 4.5.1 If 1 < p < ∞, then we have 3 n−1 S6∗ 2 (f ) ≤ A p f p . (p − 1)2 p

(4.5.9)

In the following, we will start from the estimate of the type of the maximal operator on the partial sum and then deduce another applicable type of operators. Definition 4.5.1 Suppose that P is a homogeneous harmonic polynomial of degree k, where k is a nonnegative integer. For f ∈ L(Q), let P (f )(x; t) = f (x − tξ)P (ξ)dσ(ξ), (4.5.10) Sn−1

for t ≥ 0. We deﬁne an operator T P by ∞ t cos t − π2 (n + k + β) P (f ) x; dt . T P (f )(x) = sup lim sup R t1+β R>1 β→0+ 1 (4.5.11) Lemma 4.5.3 Let 1 0.

Obviously taking sup for R on the left side of the above inequality equals to TP(f )(x). By making use of the estimate about the type of S6∗α0 in Theorem 4.5.1 and that of the operator ϕ in Theorem 4.3.1, we have the equivalence of ϕ and N (cf. (4.3.13)). In addition, we use the estimate about the type of the operator M to get (4.5.12). n−1 n−1 +β +β with SR 2 in the above arguFor the case k = 0, we replace S6R 2 ment and utilize the estimate about the type of S∗α0 (in the same form as Theorem 4.5.1) to carry out the similar discussions. We note that for the case when k = 0, P (·) is a constant and then we have P (f )(x; t) = Cfx (t). This is the end of the proof of Lemma 4.5.3.

for 2 ≤ p < ∞, then there exists a constant A only depending on A0 such that − λ (4.5.15) |{x ∈ Q : T (f )(x) > λ}| ≤ Ae Af ∞ , for any λ > 0. Proof. Let f ∈ L∞ (Q) and set , Eλ = x ∈ Q : T (f )(x) > λ . Then, we have

T (f )(x) p A0 pf p p , |Eλ | ≤ dx ≤ λ λ Eλ

for p ≥ 2. If λ > 2A0 f ∞ e, by choosing p = |Eλ | ≤ e

then we immediately have

Hence, we merely need to take A = |Q|e2 + A0 e and then (4.5.15) holds. This completes the proof of Lemma 4.5.4.

4.6

The relations between the conjugate series and integral

For the non-conjugate case, by the Stein’s theorem (see Section 3.2) about the relation between the series and the integral, we can transfer the problem of series into that of integral in many cases. This facilitates out research of the series. For the conjugate case, we have mentioned the conjugate integral in the previous two sections of this chapter. It is easy to see that the research of the conjugate integral is more convenient than that of the conjugate series. As far as the case at the critical index is concerned, the Bochner-Riesz means of the series has no integral expression. While for the integration, the formula (4.1.24) is valid in the large domain of Re β > − n+1 2 . Therefore, it is necessary to extend Stein’s theorem to the conjugate case. Chang [Cha1] just did such a work in this ﬁeld. (n) Let P (x) ∈ Ak , k ≥ 1 and K(x) = P (x)|x|−n−k . In Section 4.4, we 6 α (y) (see (4.4.2)). Now, we denote by have discussed the kernel D R α +s P (m) |m|2 0 S eim·x , (4.6.1) DR (y) = 1− 2 |m|k R 0<|m|

(4.6.4)

C4. The conjugate Fourier integral and series From (4.6.4), we can deduce that there exists a constant α > 0 such that sup eα|R (x)| dx ≤ A. (4.6.5) R>0 Q

Furthermore, the inequality (4.6.5) yields the next desired result. Theorem 4.6.2 Suppose that f ∈ L log + L(Qn ) with n > 1, g = f χQ and G is a closed subset of Q. Then we have α0 α0 (f ; x) − σ 6R (g; x) − C(x) = 0, (4.6.6) lim sup S6R R→∞ x∈G

C4. The conjugate Fourier integral and series

Then we will verify the fact that the series on the right side of the above equation is internally closed uniformly convergent about s when σ ∈ (−1, 1). And thus the series are analytic with respect to s. Since the analyticity of 6 s (x) about s is evident, the equation (4.6.13) ia valid when σ > −1. R The key point lies in the fact that when the series which execute summation about m with m = 0 is added in some terms and makes the integral about some parameter, u ∈ [0, 1], for one time, then its order characterizing the increase about |m| will decrease by 1. This is equivalent to multiplication / u|m| by the factor |m|−1 . So does the case of the series m=0 cos|m| n . Thus we immediately obtain (4.6.13) from (4.6.14), because it has a ﬁne property of convergence on the right side. This completes the proof of Lemma 4.6.2. Lemma 4.6.3 Let s = σ + iτ , − 12 ≤ σ ≤ 0 and τ ∈ R. Then we have 6s s (x) − H (x) (4.6.15) sup H ≤ AR−σ e2π|τ | . R R x∈Q

Since K ∗ (u) − K(u) is internally and closed uniformly continuous on the set 2Qn , the function C is continuous on (Qn )◦ . In addition, we have C(x) = f ∗ (x) − g6(x), for almost everywhere x ∈ Qn . It suﬃces to show that n−1

satisﬁes the weak-type estimate 1 {x : σ 6∗ (g)(x) > λ} < ANq (g). λ

(4.7.2)

By the superposition principle, it suﬃces to prove this for each q-block. Suppose that b is a q-block for 1 < q < ∞. As what we have mentioned before in Theorem 4.3.1, it has been proven in the theory of the Calder´onZygmund singular integral that the Calder´on-Zygmund transform or Hilbert transform is of strong-type (q, q) with 1 < q < ∞. And thus 6b ∈ Lq (Rn ). Here, we introduce the following facts without proof that, for b ∈ Lq with 1 < q < ∞, we have

α0 6 α0 σR (b). b =σ 6R Thus we have

6 σ∗ (b)q = σ∗ 6b ≤ Aq 6b ≤ Aq bq . q

C4. The conjugate Fourier integral and series

together with (4.7.3), we can deduce the validity of the equation (4.7.2) for the q-block b, just as we have done in the non-conjugate case. And therefore, we have ﬁnished the proof of the theorem. We have to point out that, similar to the non-conjugate case, the conn−1 vergence of the S6R 2 (f ; x) also does not satisfy the localization principle, which was proven by Lippman [Li1]. For the similarity between its proof and that of the non-conjugate case, we omit the detailed proof here.

We denote the ﬁrst term on the right side of the equation (4.8.5) by AR (x). From the expression of E in (4.1.6), we have that when β > 0, |E(n, β, k, t)| ≤ A uniformly holds about β and t ∈ [0, 1]. And therefore, under the condition of (4.8.3), there uniformly holds about β AR (x) = o(1),

(4.8.6)

as R → ∞. By Lemma 4.1.2, we have that when β ∈ (0, 1), with respect to β, cos t − π2 (n + k + β) 1 C(n, k) E(n, β, k, t) − n+k = O n+k+1 + A(n, β) t t tn+k+β uniformly holds, where A(n, β) = π

C4. The conjugate Fourier integral and series

Remark 4.8.1 From the proof of Theorem 4.8.1, we can weaken the condition (4.8.3) into the following

t 0

ψx (τ )dτ = o(t),

as t → 0+ . If f vanishes in B(x; δ) with δ > 0, then (4.8.3) is valid. And thus Theorem 4.8.1 contains the localization principle over the critical index. Our main results are formulated as follows. Theorem 4.8.2 Let f ∈ L(Qn ) with n > 1. If (4.8.3) holds, then we have 1 lim R→∞ R

(4.8.13)

R

= o(1), as R → ∞. Substituting (4.8.13) into (4.8.10) and taking β → 0+ , we get (4.8.9). This completes the proof. Since the condition (4.8.3) is valid for a.e. x ∈ Rn , then so is (4.8.9). In addition, since fε∗ (x) → f ∗ (x), for a.e. x ∈ Rn , then Theorem 4.8.2 shows that 1 R 6 n−1 lim Su 2 (f ; x)du = f ∗ (x) R→∞ R 0 holds for a.e. x ∈ Rn . The above results were obtained by Wang [Wa2].

4.9

The strong summation of the conjugate Fourier series

Because (4.8.9) is valid for a.e. x ∈ Rn , it is virtually natural to ask whether there is any possibility to strengthen it to the strong limit. That is the strong summation problem, which is far from being completely solved, like the non-conjugate case. Here we will give the suﬃcient condition for the strong summation at a ﬁxed point. This parallels to the non-conjugate case. We shall prove this result in three steps. We ﬁrst describe the localized results and then transform the problem to the conjugate integral by the condition of the locally p integral with p > 1 as well as the results in Section 4.6. Finally, we prove the conclusion about the strong summation for the conjugate integral. Step I. The localization.

C4. The conjugate Fourier integral and series

Theorem 4.9.1 Let f ∈ L(Qn ) with n > 1. If f vanishes in B(x, δ) with δ > 0 and q > 0, then we have q 1 R 6 n−1 2 (4.9.1) Su (f ; x) − f 1 (x) du = 0. lim u R→∞ R 0 Proof. Let β ∈ (0, 1). By (4.8.8), we merely need to prove that 1 lim sup sup R→∞ β∈(0,1) R where

(4.9.2)

(4.9.3)

For u > δ−1 , this implies u−1 < δ. At the same time, ψx (t) equals to zero when t < δ. Thus I β (u) in (4.9.3) can be rewritten as ∞ cos ut − π2 (n + k + β) β I (u) = ψx (t) dt, (4.9.4) uβ t1+β δ for δ−1 ≤ u ≤ R. In addition, by H¨older’s inequality, it suﬃces to prove q = 2λ with λ ∈ N. Since cos(ut − θ) = cos ut cos θ + sin ut sin θ, we merely need to show that 1 lim sup sup R→∞ β∈(0,1) R

(4.9.5)

(4.9.6)

(4.9.7)

Since the method of the proof for the two diﬀerent cases are the same, we choose J β as in (4.9.6). Since q = 2λ and J β (u) is a real function, we have

q β q β (u) = J (u) . J

2q 1 cos utj = q · cos(el · t)u, t l=1

4.9 The strong summation of the conjugate Fourier series

341

(a) τm (R) = o(R) uniformly holds for m ∈ Nq . (b) If |m1 + · · · + mα − (mα+1 + · · · + mq )| > 2qδ, we have t1 + · · · + tα − (tα+1 + · · · + tq ) ≥ δ m1 + · · · + mα − (mα+1 + · · · + mq ), 2 for t ∈ m , which implies τm (R) ≤

A . |m1 + · · · + mα − (mα+1 + · · · + mq )|

Since (b) is obvious, we will prove (a) in the following. Let s = −(t2 + · · · + tα ) + tα+1 + · · · + tq . Then we have [m1 δ,(m1 +1)δ]

:= I1 + I2 . It follows from (4.9.11) and (4.9.10) that I1 < ARε and

1 I2 < A f L(Q) . η

Thus it follows that (m2 +1)δ (mq +1)δ 1 h(t2 )dt2 · · · h(tq )dtq τm (R) ≤ A Rε + η m2 δ mq δ 1 ≤ A Rε + η holds uniformly for m ∈ Nq . This implies (a).

Applying the estimate of (b) in σ1 , we get σ1 = O(1). And by the estimate of (a) in σ2 we have σ2 = o(R). One can check the detailed steps in the computation of (3.10.17) and (3.10.18) in Chapter 3). Hence (4.9.9) holds. This ﬁnishes the proof of Theorem 4.9.1.

Theorem 4.9.3 Let f ∈ L(Qn ), n > 1, and f is r (r > 1) integrable on B(x, δ) with δ > 0. If the conditions (4.9.12) and (4.9.13) hold for f , then for any q > 0, we have q 1 R 6 n−1 2 Su (f ; x) − f 1 (x) du = 0. lim u R→∞ R 0 The above results about the strong summation were done by Wang [Wa7].

4.10

Approximation of continuous functions

For the case of one dimension, the approximation of continuous functions and their conjugate functions through their partial sum in Fourier series deﬁned on set of total measure, was solved by Oskolkov [O1]. Now we turn to discuss the case of higher dimension. We have such a result that let f ∈ Lipα n−1

(0 < α < 1), if we consider uniform approximation by SR 2 (f ), then we only R get the order of approximation as log Rα . If we restrict functions on set of total measure, then the order of the a.e. approximation can be O (log log R/Rα ), and we can get the same results about the conjugate functions. Recall the deﬁnitions of the classes of functions W 1 L∞ = Lip1 and W 2 L∞ in Section 3.7. There we have proven that if f ∈ W 2 L∞ , there holds n−1 1 2 SR (f ; x) − f (x) = O (4.10.1) R2 a.e. x ∈ Rn . Now we take further research on the problem of the approximation of some functions which include the conjugate functions.

where Pj (x) is the polynomial −xj P (x). Then it follows that ⎛ ⎞ n |h| 1 ⎝ g1,1 (x) = P (f )(x; |h|) log |h| − log tPj (fj )(x; t)dt⎠ . |Q| 0 j=1

For any t > 0, we have |P (f )(x + h; t) − P (f )(x; t)| ≤ Aω(f ; |h|) and |P (f )(x + h; t) + P (f )(x − h; t) − 2P (f )(x; t)| ≤ Aω2 (f ; |h|). Thus, we have that

Combining (4.10.32) with (4.10.33) and applying the estimate on the type of the operator T P , similar to Case 1 , we have that the inequality (4.10.33) in Case 2 that still holds. Thus we have ∞ ∞ λ Δ (λ) ≤ A (m + 2)− A . m m=0

m=0

If λ ≥ 3A, by the estimate −1 ∞ λ λ λ λ −A x dx = 2− A +1 < e− A log 2 , −1 A 2 we have

∞

λ

(m + 2)− A ≤ e− A ,

m=0

which implies

∞ λ Δm (λ) ≤ Ae− A m=0

for any λ > 0, where A = An (P ). We deﬁne −1 9 1 log log . C(x) = sup ρR (f ; x) ω R Ω(1/R) R≥1 Then for any λ > 0, it is easy to have that {x ∈ Qf : C(x) > λ} ⊂

∞ m=0

Δm (λ).

4.10 Approximation of continuous functions

Hence, we have λ

|{x ∈ Qf : C(x) > λ}| = |{x ∈ Q : C(x) > λ}| ≤ Ae− A . Thus we have obtained the conclusion (I). Denote the constant A = An (P ) in (4.10.30) by A0 and let λ0 = 2A0 . We have 1 9 x ∈ Qf : lim sup ρR (f ; x) ω log log > λ0 ⊂ lim sup Δm (λ0 ). R Ω(1/R) m→∞ R→∞ From the estimate ∞ lim sup Δm (λ0 ) = lim Δm (λ0 ) m→∞ m→∞ j=m ≤ lim

A0 (j + 2)−2

j=m

= 0, it follows that

1 9 log log lim sup ρR (f ; x) ω R Ω(1/R) R→∞

−1

≤ 2A0

for a.e. x ∈ Qn . Thus we get the conclusion (II).

As a direct consequence of Theorem 4.10.3, we have the next theorem. Theorem 4.10.4 If f ∈ Lipα, 0 < α < 1, that is, ω(f ; t) = O(tα ), then we have n−1 n−1 S 2 (f ; x) − f (x) + S6 2 (f ; x) − f ∗ (x) ≤ C(x)R−α log log R, R R for R ≥ 9, where C(x) is ﬁnite for a.e. x ∈ Qn and satisﬁes λ

|{x ∈ Q : C(x) > λ}| < Ae− A for any λ > 0, and lim sup ρR (f ; x)Rα (log log R)−1 ≤ A R→∞

for a.e. x ∈

Qn .

C4. The conjugate Fourier integral and series

By similar discussions, we easily get the following theorem which is described by the modulus of continuity of second order. Here we omit the proof. Theorem 4.10.5 Suppose that f ∈ C(Q) satisﬁes lim

δ→0+

ω2 (f ; δ) = +∞. δ2

If we replace w in Theorem 4.10.3 by ω2 , then the conclusion is still true.
