Analysis of hyper-singular, fractional, and order-zero singular integral operators

Abstract: In this article, we conduct a study of integral operators defined in terms of non-convolution type kernels with singularities of various degrees. The operators that fall within our scope of research include fractional integrals, fractional derivatives, pseudodifferential operators, Calder\'on-Zygmund operators, and many others. The main results of this article are built around the notion of an operator calculus that connects operators with different kernel singularities via vanishing moment conditions and composition with fractional derivative operators. We also provide several boundedness results on weighted and unweighted distribution spaces, including homogeneous Sobolev, Besov, and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces, that are necessary and sufficient for the operator's vanishing moment properties, as well as certain behaviors for the operator under composition with fractional derivative and integral operators. As applications, we prove $T1$ type theorems for singular integral operators with different singularities, boundedness results for pseudodifferential operators belonging to the forbidden class $S_{1,1}^0$, fractional order and hyper-singular paraproduct boundedness, a smooth-oscillating decomposition for singular integrals, sparse domination estimates that quantify regularity and oscillation, and several operator calculus results. It is of particular interest that many of these results do not require $L^2$-boundedness of the operator, and furthermore, we apply our results to some operators that are known not to be $L^2$-bounded.
