Weak Hardy-Type Spaces Associated with Ball Quasi-Banach Function Spaces I: Decompositions with Applications to Boundedness of Calderón--Zygmund Operators (1905.02097v2)

Abstract: Let $X$ be a ball quasi-Banach function space on ${\mathbb R}^n$. In this article, the authors introduce the weak Hardy-type space $WH_X({\mathbb R}^n)$, associated with $X$, via the radial maximal function. Assuming that the powered Hardy--Littlewood maximal operator satisfies some Fefferman--Stein vector-valued maximal inequality on $X$ as well as it is bounded on both the weak ball quasi-Banach function space $WX$ and the associated space, the authors then establish several real-variable characterizations of $WH_X({\mathbb R}^n)$, respectively, in terms of various maximal functions, atoms and molecules. As an application, the authors obtain the boundedness of Calder\'on--Zygmund operators from the Hardy space $H_X({\mathbb R}^n)$ to $WH_X({\mathbb R}^n)$, which includes the critical case. All these results are of wide applications. Particularly, when $X:=M_q^p({\mathbb R}^n)$ (the Morrey space), $X:=L^{\vec{p}}({\mathbb R}^n)$ (the mixed-norm Lebesgue space) and $X:=(E_\Phi^q)_t({\mathbb R}^n)$ (the Orlicz-slice space), which are all ball quasi-Banach function spaces but not quasi-Banach function spaces, all these results are even new. Due to the generality, more applications of these results are predictable.
