On the kernel conditions of operators mapping atoms to molecules in local Hardy spaces

Abstract: In this paper, we explore the relationship between the operators mapping atoms to molecules in local Hardy spaces $h^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and the size conditions of its kernel. In particular, we show that if the kernel a Calder\'on--Zygmund-type operator satisfies an integral-type size condition and a $T^*-$type cancellation, then the operator maps $h^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$ atoms to molecules. On the other hand, assuming that $T$ is an integral type operator bounded on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ that maps atoms to molecules in $h^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$, then the kernel of such operator satisfies the same integral-type size conditions. We also provide the $L^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$ to $L^{1,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ boundedness for such operators connecting our integral-type size conditions on the kernel with others presented in the literature.
