Extrapolation via Sawyer-type inequalities (2404.09351v1)

Abstract: We present a multi-variable extension of Rubio de Francia's restricted weak-type extrapolation theory that does not involve Rubio de Francia's iteration algorithm; instead, we rely on the following Sawyer-type inequality for the weighted Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator $M_u$: $$ \left \Vert \frac{M_u (fv)}{v} \right \Vert_{L^{1,\infty}(uv)} \leq C_{u,v} \Vert f \Vert_{L^1(uv)}, \quad u, \, uv \in A_{\infty}. $$ Our approach can be adapted to recover weak-type $A_{\vec P}$ extrapolation schemes, including an endpoint result that falls outside the classical theory. Among the applications of our work, we highlight extending outside the Banach range the well-known equivalence between restricted weak-type and weak-type for characteristic functions, and obtaining mixed and restricted weak-type bounds with $A_{p}^{\mathcal R}$ weights for relevant families of multi-variable operators, addressing the lack in the literature of these types of estimates. We also reveal several standalone properties of the class $A_{p}^{\mathcal R}$.
