A sufficient condition for Haar multipliers in Triebel-Lizorkin spaces

Abstract: We consider Haar multiplier operators $T_m$ acting on Sobolev spaces, and more generally Triebel-Lizorkin spaces $F^s_{p,q}(\mathbb{R})$, for indices in which the Haar system is not unconditional. When $m$ depends only on the Haar frequency, we give a sufficient condition for the boundedness of $T_m$ in $F^s_{p,q}$, in terms of the variation norms $|m|_{V_u}$, which is optimal in $u$ (up to endpoints) when $p, q> 1$.
