Abstract

The main goal of this chapter is to introduce Hardy spaces in the context of d-Ahlfors-regular quasi-metric spaces by defining H p(X) as a collection of distributions whose maximal belongs to L p(X). This is in the spirit of the pioneering work of C.

Notes

  1. 1.

    which essentially make it an approximation to the identity

  2. 2.

    The atomic Hardy spaces considered in [Uch80] are of a slightly different variety of than those in [CoWe77]; see [Uch80, p. 581] for details.

  3. 3.

    In this work, the pair \((\mathcal{X},\tau )\) shall be referred to as a topological vector space provided \(\mathcal{X}\) is a vector space and τ is a topology on \(\mathcal{X}\) such that the vector space operations of addition and scalar multiplication are continuous with respect to τ. Under these assumptions, the topological space \((\mathcal{X},\tau )\) may not be Hausdorff. If, in addition to the above considerations, one assumes that the set \(\{x\} \subseteq (\mathcal{X},\tau )\) is closed for each \(x \in \mathcal{X}\) then \((\mathcal{X},\tau )\) is necessarily Hausdorff. In light of this, part of the literature includes the latter condition in the definition of a topological vector space (see, e.g., [Ru91, p. 7]).

  4. 4.

    Given a vector space \(\mathcal{X}\) over \(\mathbb{C}\), call a function \(\|\cdot \|: \mathcal{X} \rightarrow [0,\infty )\) a quasi-norm provided there exists a constant C ∈ (0, ) such that for each \(x,y \in \mathcal{X}\) the following three conditions hold (i) \(\|x\| = 0\, \Leftrightarrow \, x = 0\), (ii) \(\|\lambda x\| = \vert \lambda \vert \cdot \| x\|\), \(\forall \,\lambda \in \mathbb{C}\), and (iii) \(\|x + y\| \leq C(\|x\| +\| y\|)\).

  5. 5.

    This variety of Hardy spaces was introduced in [MiMiMiMo13] where the authors considered a slightly less general geometric measure theoretic ambient than the one in this work.

  6. 6.

    This class of Hardy spaces was introduced in [MaSe79ii] in the setting of normal spaces (1-AR spaces) although the notation is due to the authors in [MiMiMiMo13].

  7. 7.

    Given a vector space \(\mathcal{X}\) over \(\mathbb{C}\), call a function \(\|\cdot \|: \mathcal{X} \rightarrow [0,\infty )\) a quasi-semi-norm provided there exists a constant C ∈ (0, ) with the property that for each \(x,y \in \mathcal{X}\) the following three conditions hold (i) x = 0 implies that \(\|x\| = 0\), (ii) \(\|\lambda x\| = \vert \lambda \vert \cdot \| x\|\), \(\forall \,\lambda \in \mathbb{C}\), and also (iii) \(\|x + y\| \leq C(\|x\| +\| y\|)\).

  8. 8.

    Given \(z \in \mathbb{C}\) we denote by \(\mathrm{Re}z \in \mathbb{R}\) and \(\mathrm{Im}z \in \mathbb{R}\), respectively, the real and imaginary parts of z.

  9. 9.

    Call a pair \((\mathcal{X},\|\cdot \|)\) (or simply \(\mathcal{X}\)) a quasi-Banach space provided \(\mathcal{X}\) is a vector space (over \(\mathbb{C}\)) and \(\|\cdot \|\) is a quasi-norm on \(\mathcal{X}\) with the property that \(\mathcal{X}\) is complete in the quasi-norm \(\|\cdot \|\), i.e., every sequence of points in \(\mathcal{X}\) which is Cauchy with respect to \(\|\cdot \|\) converges to a point in \(\mathcal{X}\).
