Generalized Fractional Integrals and Their Commutators over Non-homogeneous Metric Measure Spaces

Abstract: Let $({\mathcal X},d,\mu)$ be a metric measure space satisfying both the upper doubling and the geometrically doubling conditions. In this paper, the authors establish some equivalent characterizations for the boundedness of fractional integrals over $({\mathcal X},d,\mu)$. The authors also prove that multilinear commutators of fractional integrals with ${\mathop\mathrm{\,RBMO(\mu)}}$ functions are bounded on Orlicz spaces over $({\mathcal X},d,\mu)$, which include Lebesgue spaces as special cases. The weak type endpoint estimates for multilinear commutators of fractional integrals with functions in the Orlicz-type space ${\mathrm{Osc}_{\exp L^r}(\mu)}$, where $r\in [1,\infty)$, are also presented. Finally, all these results are applied to a specific example of fractional integrals over non-homogeneous metric measure spaces.
