We extend the subrepresentation formula $$ |f(x)|\le c_n\,I_1(|\nabla f|)(x) $$ in several ways. First, we consider more general $A_1$-potential operators on the right-hand side and prove local and global pointwise inequalities for these operators. Second, we show that we can improve the right-hand side using fractional derivatives. Finally, we extend our results to rough singular integral operators, similar to the main result in [HMP1].

In this paper we study the degenerate parabolic $p$-Laplacian,$ \partial_t u - v^{-1}{\rm div}(|\sqrt{Q} \nabla u|^{p-2} Q \nabla u)=0$, where the degeneracy is controlled by a matrix $Q$ and a weight $v$. With mild integrability assumptions on $Q$ and $v$, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions on any interval $[0,T]$. If we further assume the existence of a degenerate Sobolev inequality with gain, the degeneracy again controlled by $v$ and $Q$, then we can prove both finite time extinction and ultracontractive bounds. Moreover, we show that there is equivalence between the existence of ultracontractive bounds and the weighted Sobolev inequality.

We extend some classical Sobolev-type inequalities for linear and non-linear commutators.

We investigate Sobolev inequalities for several rough operators. We prove that several operators satisfy a pointwise bound by the Riesz potential applied to the gradient. From this inequality, we derive several new Sobolev-type inequalities with an operator on the left-hand side., Comment: v2: typos corrected

We prove new sufficient bump conditions for general iterated commutators of Calder\'on-Zygmund operators and fractional integral operators. As an application of our results we derive two weight compactness theorems for higher order iterated commutators with a $CMO$ function.

We prove certain two weight bump conditions are sufficient for the compactness of the commutator $[b,T]$ where $b\in CMO$ and $T$ is a Calder\'on- Zygmund operator. This is the first result for compactness in the two weight setting without additional assumptions on the individual weights.

In this paper we consider two weight bump conditions for higher order commutators. Given $b$ and a Calder\'on-Zygmund operator $T$, define the commutator $T^1_bf=[T,b]f= bTf-T(bf)$, and for $m\geq 2$ define the iterated commutator $T^m_b f = [b,T_b^{m-1}]f$. Traditionally, commutators are defined for functions $b\in BMO$, but we show that if we replace $BMO$ by an oscillation class first introduced by P\'erez [31], we can give a range of sufficient conditions on a pair of weights $(u,v)$ for $T^m_b : L^p(v)\rightarrow L^p(u)$ to be bounded. Our results generalize work of the first two authors in [10], and more recent work by Lerner, et al. [28]. We also prove necessary conditions for the iterated commutators to be bounded, generalizing results of Isralowitz, et al.[20].

We prove quantitative matrix weighted endpoint estimates for the matrix weighted Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator, Calder\'on-Zygmund operators, and commutators of CZOs with scalar BMO functions, when the matrix weight is in the class $A_1$ introduced by M.~Frazier and S.~Roudenko.

We prove norm estimates for multilinear fractional integrals acting on weighted and variable Hardy spaces. In the weighted case we develop ideas we used for multilinear singular integrals [7]. For the variable exponent case, a key element of our proof is a new multilinear, off-diagonal version of the Rubio de Francia extrapolation theorem.

We give new proofs of Hardy space estimates for fractional and singular integral operators on weighted and variable exponent Hardy spaces. Our proofs consist of several interlocking ideas: finite atomic decompositions in terms of $L^\infty$ atoms, vector-valued inequalities for maximal and other operators, and Rubio de Francia extrapolation. Many of these estimates are not new, but we give new and substantially simpler proofs, which in turn significantly simplifies the proofs of the Hardy spaces inequalities., Comment: A couple minor typos corrected. Removed "showkeys" package for easier reading

We present a unified method to obtain weighted estimates of linear and multilinear commutators with BMO functions, that is amenable to a plethora of operators and functional settings. Our approach elaborates on a commonly used Cauchy integral trick, recovering many known results but yielding also numerous new ones., Comment: v3: addition of appendix which includes quantitative weighted estimates for commutators of the bilinear Hilbert transform

In this paper we extend the theory of two weight, $A_p$ bump conditions to the setting of matrix weights. We prove two matrix weight inequalities for fractional maximal operators, fractional and singular integrals, sparse operators and averaging operators. As applications we prove quantitative, one weight estimates, in terms of the matrix $A_p$ constant, for singular integrals, and prove a Poincar\'e inequality related to those that appear in the study of degenerate elliptic PDEs., Comment: 36 pages, v. 1, no figures, submitted

We establish the boundedness of the multilinear Calder\'on-Zygmund operators from a product of weighted Hardy spaces into a weighted Hardy or Lebesgue space. Our results generalize to the weighted setting results obtained by Grafakos and Kalton (Collect. Math. 2001) and recent work by the third author, Grafakos, Nakamura, and Sawano. As part of our proof we provide a finite atomic decomposition theorem for weighted Hardy spaces, which is interesting in its own right. As a consequence of our weighted results, we prove the corresponding estimates on variable Hardy spaces. Our main tool is a multilinear extrapolation theorem that generalizes a result of the first author and Naibo (Differential Integral Equations 2016).

In this note we prove a multilinear version of the reverse H\"older inequality in the theory of Muckenhoupt $A_p$ weights. We give two applications of this inequality to the study of multilinear weighted norm inequalities. First, we prove a structure theorem for multilinear $A_{\vec{p}}$ weights; second, we give a new sufficient condition for multilinear, two-weight norm inequalities for the maximal operator., Comment: Revised version, includes new characterization of multi-linear A_p weights.

We provide an example of a pair of weights $(u,v)$ for which the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function is bounded from $L^p(v)$ to $L^p(u)$ and from $L^{p'}(u^{1-p'})$ to $L^{p'}(v^{1-p'})$ while a dyadic sparse operator is not bounded on the same domain and range. Our construction also provides an example of a single weight for which the weak-type endpoint does not hold for sparse operators., Comment: An updated version as suggested by the referee

We develop a theory of extrapolation for weights that satisfy a generalized reverse H\"older inequality in the scale of Orlicz spaces. This extends previous results by Auscher and Martell [2] on limited range extrapolation. As an application, we show that a number of weighted norm inequalities for linear and bilinear operators can be proved using our extrapolation theorem., Comment: v2: revision of the main results. The authors would like to thank J.M. Martell for pointing out a mistake in an earlier version of the paper

We examine the harmonic and geometric maximal operators defined for a general basis of open sets in $\R^n$. We prove two weight norm inequalities for the harmonic maximal operator assuming testing conditions over characteristic functions of unions of sets from the basis. We also prove a that a bumped two weight $A_p$-like condition is sufficient for the two weight boundedness of the harmonic maximal operator., Comment: v2: Corrections as suggested by the referee

In this paper we prove several weighted estimates for bilinear fractional integral operators and their commutators with BMO functions. We also prove maximal function control theorem for these operators, that is, we prove the weighted $L^p$ norm is bounded by the weighted $L^p$ norm of a natural maximal operator when the weight belongs to $A_\infty$. As a corollary we are able to obtain new weighted estimates for the bilinear maximal function associated to the bilinear Hilbert transform.

We prove Poincar\'e and Sobolev inequalities in matrix A${}_p$ weighted spaces. We then use these Poincar\'e inequalities to prove existence and regularity results for degenerate systems of elliptic equations whose degeneracy is governed by a matrix A${}_p$ weight. Such results parallel earlier results by Fabes, Kenig, and Serapioni for a single degenerate equation governed by a scalar A${}_p$ weight. In addition, we prove Cacciopoli and reverse H\"older inequalities for weak solutions of the degenerate systems. As a means to prove the Poincar\'e inequalities we prove that the Riesz potential and fractional maximal function operators are bounded on matrix weighted $L^p$ spaces and go on to develop an entire matrix A${}_{p, q}$ theory., Comment: v4: several corrections based on referee's report

We study degenerate Sobolev spaces where the degeneracy is controlled by a matrix $A_p$ weight. This class of weights was introduced by Nazarov, Treil and Volberg, and degenerate Sobolev spaces with matrix weights have been considered by several authors for their applications to PDEs. We prove that the classical Meyers-Serrin theorem, H = W, holds in this setting. As applications we prove partial regularity results for weak solutions of degenerate p-Laplacian equations, and in particular for mappings of finite distortion.

We prove regularity estimates for weak solutions to the Dirichlet problem for a divergence form elliptic operator. We give $L^p$ estimates for the second derivative for $p<2$. Our work generalizes results due to Miranda [28]., Comment: Several results corrected and revised. We would like to thank Doyoon Kim for pointing out an error in the previous version

Commutators of bilinear Calder\'on-Zygmund operators and multiplication by functions in a certain subspace of the space of functions of bounded mean oscillations are shown to be compact on appropriate products of weighted Lebesgue spaces.

Commutators of a large class of bilinear operators and multiplication by functions in a certain subspace of the space of functions of bounded mean oscillations are shown to be jointly compact. Under a similar commutation, fractional integral versions of the bilinear Hilbert transform yield separately compact operators., Comment: 15 pages

We establish two-weight norm inequalities for singular integral operators defined on spaces of homogeneous type. We do so first when the weights satisfy a double bump condition and then when the weights satisfy separated logarithmic bump conditions. Our results generalize recent work on the Euclidean case, but our proofs are simpler even in this setting. The other interesting feature of our approach is that we are able to prove the separated bump results (which always imply the corresponding double bump results) as a consequence of the double bump theorem.

In this paper, we study the weighted inequality for multilinear fractional maximal operators and fractional integrals. We give sharp weighted estimates for both operators., Comment: 16 pages

In the 1970s Muckenhoupt and Wheeden made several conjectures relating two weight norm inequalities for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator to such inequalities for singular integrals. Using techniques developed for the recent proof of the $A_2$ conjecture we prove a related pair of conjectures linking the Riesz potential and the fractional maximal operator. As a consequence we are able to prove a number of sharp one and two weight norm inequalities for the Riesz potential., Comment: v2: typos corrected

We study two questions. When does a function belong to the union of Lebesgue spaces and when does a function have an $A_1$ majorant? We show these questions are fundamentally related. For functions restricted to a fixed cube we prove that the following are equivalent: a function belongs to $L^p$ for some $p>1$; the function has an $A_1$ majorant; for any $p>1$ the function belongs to $L^p_w$ for some $A_p$ weight $w$. We also examine the case of functions defined on ${\mathbb R}^n$ and give characterizations of the union of $L^p_w$ over $w$ in $A_p$ and when a function has an $A_1$ majorant on all of ${\mathbb R}^n$., Comment: v2: typos corrected

We investigate the weighted bounds for multilinear maximal functions and Calder\'on-Zygmund operators from $L^{p_1}(w_1)\times...\times L^{p_m}(w_m)$ to $L^{p}(v_{\vec{w}})$, where $1

We establish several mixed $A_p$-$A_\infty$ bounds for Calder\'on-Zygmund operators that only involve one supremum. We address both cases when the $A_\infty$ part of the constant is measured using the exponential-logarithmic definition and using the Fujii-Wilson definition. In particular, we answer a question of the first author and provide an answer, up to a logarithmic factor, of a conjecture of Hyt\"onen and Lacey. Moreover, we give an example to show that our bounds with the logarithmic factors can be arbitrarily smaller than the previously known bounds (both one supremum and two suprema).

We give a short proof of the sharp weighted bound for sparse operators that holds for all $p$, $1

We consider weighted norm inequalities for the Riesz potentials $I_\alpha$, also referred to as fractional integral operators. First we prove mixed $A_p$-$A_\infty$ type estimates in the spirit of [13, 15, 17]. Then we prove strong and weak type inequalities in the case $p

We prove regularity results for solutions of the equation \[div(< AXu,X u>^{(p-2)/2} AX u) = 0,\] $1\leq \Lambda w(x)^{2/p}|\xi|^2,\] $w \in A_p$, then we show that solutions are locally H\"older continuous. If the degeneracy is of the form \[ k(x)^{-2/p'}|\xi|^2\leq < A(x)\xi,\xi>\leq k(x)^{2/p}|\xi|^2, \] $k\in A_{p'}\cap RH_\tau$,where $\tau$ depends on the homogeneous dimension, then the solutions are continuous almost everywhere, and we give examples to show that this is the best result possible. We give an application to maps of finite distortion., Comment: v3 several revisions. Final version. To appear in JMAA

The dual purpose of this article is to establish bilinear Poincare-type estimates associated to an approximation of the identity and to explore the connections between bilinear pseudo-differential operators and bilinear potential-type operators. The common underlying theme in both topics is their applications to Leibniz-type rules in Sobolev and Campanato-Morrey spaces under Sobolev scaling., Comment: To appear in Journal of Geometric Analysis

We prove several sharp weighted norm inequalities for commutators of classical operators in harmonic analysis. We find sufficient $A_p$-bump conditions on pairs of weights $(u,v)$ such that $[b,T]$, $b\in BMO$ and $T$ a singular integral operator (such as the Hilbert or Riesz transforms), maps $L^p(v)$ into $L^p(u)$. Because of the added degree of singularity, the commutators require a "double log bump" as opposed to that of singular integrals, which only require single log bumps. For the fractional integral operator $I_\al$ we find the sharp one-weight bound on $[b,I_\al]$, $b\in BMO$, in terms of the $A_{p,q}$ constant of the weight. We also prove sharp two-weight bounds for $[b,I_\al]$ analogous to those of singular integrals. We prove two-weight weak-type inequalities for $[b,T]$ and $[b,I_\al]$ for pairs of factored weights. Finally we construct several examples showing our bounds are sharp., Comment: Accepted in Publ. Mat

The notions of higher-order weighted multilinear Poincar\'e and Sobolev inequalities in Carnot groups are introduced. As an application, weighted Leibnitz-type rules in Campanato-Morrey spaces are established., Comment: v2 expanded introduction and added examples. To appear in Potential Analysis

As the classical $(p,q)$-Poincar\'e inequality is known to fail for $0 < p < 1$, we introduce the notion of weighted multilinear Poincar\'e inequality as a natural alternative when $m$-fold products and $1/m < p$ are considered. We prove such weighted multilinear Poincar\'e inequalities in the subelliptic context associated to vector fields of H\"ormader type. We do so by establishing multilinear representation formulas and weighted estimates for multilinear potential operators in spaces of homogeneous type., Comment: Minor typos corrected.

The relationship between the operator norms of fractional integral operators acting on weighted Lebesgue spaces and the constant of the weights is investigated. Sharp boundsare obtained for both the fractional integral operators and the associated fractional maximal functions. As an application improved Sobolev inequalities are obtained. Some of the techniques used include a sharp off-diagonal version of the extrapolation theorem of Rubio de Francia and characterizations of two-weight norm inequalities., Comment: v2: changes made to reflect referee's report.
