Abstract
Let \(\rho \) be a rearrangement-invariant (r.i.) norm on the set \(M({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) of Lebesgue-measurable functions on \({\mathbb {R}}^n\) such that the space \(L_{\rho }({\mathbb {R}}^n) = \left\{ f \in M({\mathbb {R}}^n): \rho (f) < \infty \right\} \) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(L_{{\infty }}({\mathbb {R}}^n).\) The principal result of this paper asserts that given such a \(\rho ,\) the inequality
holds for any r.i. norm \(\sigma \) on \( M({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) if and only if
Here, \({\bar{\rho }}\) is the unique r.i. norm on \(M({\mathbb {R}}_+)\), \({\mathbb {R}}_+ = (0, \infty )\), satisfying \({\bar{\rho }}(f^{*})=\rho (f)\) and \(U f^{*} (t) = \int _{0}^{1/t} f^{*}\), in which \(f^{*}\) is the nonincreasing rearrangement of f on \(\mathbb {R_+}\). Further, in this case the smallest r.i. norm \(\sigma \) for which \(\rho ( {\hat{f}}) \le C \sigma (f)\) holds is given by
where, necessarily, \({\bar{\rho }} \left( \int _{0}^{1/t} \chi _{(0, a)} \right) = {\bar{\rho }} \left( \min \{1/t, \, a\} \right) < \infty \), for all \(a>0\). We further specialize and expand these results in the contexts of Orlicz and Lorentz Gamma spaces.

1 Introduction
Given f an \(L_{1}({\mathbb {R}}^n )\) function, its Fourier transform, defined by
satisfies the inequality
Plancherel, in 1910, proved the n-dimensional version of the Riesz–Fischer theorem, namely
Standard interpolation theorems yield that \(L_{p'} ({\mathbb {R}}^n),\) \(p'= \frac{p}{p-1},\) is an interpolation space (defined in Sect. 2) between \(L_{2} ({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(L_{\infty } ({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) for \(1<p<2,\) leading to the Hausdorff–Young inequality (1926),
in this case.
Inspired by the work of Jodeit and Torchinsky [13], in which the authors have generalized the Hausdorff–Young inequality, replacing the \(L_p\) spaces with Orlicz spaces, we prove the following theorem which is central to the rest of the results in this paper.
Theorem 1.1
Let \(\rho (f) = {\bar{\rho }}(f^{*}) \) be an r.i. norm such that the Banach space \(L_{\rho } ({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2}( {\mathbb {R}}^{n} )\) and \(L_{\infty }( {\mathbb {R}}^{n} )\). Then,
for any r.i. norm \(\sigma \) if and only if
where \(C>0\) is independent of \(f \in L_{\sigma }({\mathbb {R}}^n)\).
For r.i norms \(\rho =\rho _{p'}\) and \(\sigma = \rho _{p},\) where \(\rho _{p}(f) =\Vert f\Vert _p \), \(1< p < \infty \), \(\textstyle {\frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{p'}=1}\), the space \(L_{\rho _{p'}} ({\mathbb {R}}^n) = L_{p'} ({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2} ({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(L_{\infty } ({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) when \(1<p<2\) and the inequality (1.2), amounts to
which is a special case of Hardy’s inequality; see [9, p. 124]. Therefore, Theorem 1.1 leads to the Hausdorff–Young inequality in this case.
The Orlicz spaces, \(L_{\rho _{\Phi }}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\), are defined in terms of a nondecreasing convex (Orlicz) function \(\Phi \) mapping \({\mathbb {R}}_{+}\) onto itself with the norm being given by
Our reformulation of the result in [13] asserts that, given an Orlicz function \(\Phi \), one has
in which
and \(\rho _{\Phi _{2}}\) defined in terms of \( {\widetilde{\Phi }}_{2}\), with
We discuss this and related results on Orlicz spaces in detail in Sect. 4. Theorem 1.1 tells us that, for \(1< p \le 2\), the smallest r.i. norm \(\sigma \) for which
is given by
the so-called Lorentz norm \(\rho _{p, p'}\), which is smaller than \(\rho _{p}\).
In the next section we provide material on r.i. spaces and interpolation theory. Theorem 1.1 and some of its consequences are proved in Sect. 3. Section 4 deals with the Fourier transform in the context of Orlicz spaces and Sect. 5 considers the boundedness of the Fourier transform between Lorentz Gamma spaces. Section 6 concludes with some remarks on other related work.
Throughout this article, we write \(A \simeq B \) to abbreviate \(C_1 A\le B \le C_2 A\) for some constants \(C_1, C_2 > 0 \) independent of A and B.
2 Rearrangement Invariant Spaces and the K-Functional
Definition 2.1
A rearrangement-invariant (r.i.) Banach function norm \(\rho \) on \(M(\Omega )\), \(\Omega = {\mathbb {R}}^n\) or \(\mathbb {R_+}\), satisfies
-
(1)
\(\rho (f) \ge 0\), with \(\rho (f)=0\) if and only if \(f=0\) a.e.;
-
(2)
\(\rho (cf)=c \, \rho (f)\), \(c>0\);
-
(3)
\(\rho (f+g) \le \rho (f) + \rho (g)\);
-
(4)
\(0 \le f_n \nearrow f\) implies \(\rho (f_n) \nearrow \rho (f)\);
-
(5)
\(\rho (\chi _{E})<\infty \) for all measurable \(E \subset \Omega \) such that \(|E|<\infty \);
-
(6)
\(\int _{E} f \le C_{E} \, \rho (f)\), with \(E \subset \Omega \), \(|E| < \infty \) and \(C_{E}>0\) independent of \(f \in M(\Omega )\);
-
(7)
\(\rho (f)= \rho (g)\) whenever \(\mu _{f} = \mu _{g}\). Here, \(\mu _{h}\), for \(h \in M(\Omega )\), denotes the distribution function of h defined as \(\mu _{h}(\lambda ) = |\{ x \in \Omega : |h(x)| > \lambda \}|\), \(\lambda \in {\mathbb {R}}_+\).
Corresponding to an r.i. norm \(\rho \) on \(M(\Omega )\) is the class
which becomes a Banach space of Lebesgue measurable functions under the norm \(\rho (f)\), \(f \in L_{\rho }(\Omega )\). The space \(L_{\rho }(\Omega )\) is then a rearrangement-invariant space.
According to a fundamental result of Luxemberg [9, Chapter 2, Theorem 4.10], there corresponds to every r.i. norm \(\rho \) on \(M({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) an r.i. norm \({\bar{\rho }}\) on \(M(\mathbb {R_+})\) such that
Here,
There is only one such \({\bar{\rho }}\) since both \({\mathbb {R}}^{n}\) and \({\mathbb {R}}_+\) are nonatomic and have infinite Lebesgue measure, see [9, p. 64].
A theorem of Hardy and Littlewood asserts that
The operation of rearrangement, though not sublinear itself, is sublinear in the average, namely,
in which
A basic technique for working with r.i. norms involves the Hardy–Littlewood–Polya (HLP) Principle which asserts that
see [9, Chapter 3, Proposition 4.6]. This principle is based on a result of Hardy, a generalized form of which reads
implies
for all \(0 \le f, g \in M( {\mathbb {R}}_+)\) and \(h \in M({\mathbb {R}}_+)\). The Köthe dual of an r.i. norm \(\rho \) on \(M(\Omega )\) is another such norm, \(\rho '\), with
It obeys the Principle of Duality
Further, one has the Hölder inequality
Finally,
The Orlicz and Lorentz Gamma spaces studied in sections 5 and 6, respectively, are examples of such r.i. spaces.
The dilation operator \(E_{s}\), \(s \in \mathbb {R_+}\), is defined at \(f \in M(\mathbb {R_+})\), \(t \in \mathbb {R_+}\), by
The operator \(E_{s}\) is bounded on any r.i. space \(L_{\rho }(\mathbb {R_+})\). We denote its norm by \(h_{\rho }(s)\). Using \(h_{\rho }\) we define the lower and upper indices of \(L_{\rho }(\mathbb {R_+})\) as
respectively. One has
Further, \(0 \le i_{\rho } \le I_{\rho } \le 1\) and, moreover,
For all this, see [8, pp. 1250–1252].
If we denote by \(k_{\rho }(s)\) the norm of \(E_{s}\) on the characteristic functions \(\chi _{F}\), \(F \subset \mathbb {R_+}\), \(|F|< \infty \), and define \(j_{\rho }\) and \(J_{\rho }\) by replacing \(h_{\rho }(s)\) in (2.6) by \(k_{\rho }(s)\), we obtain the fundamental indices of \(L_{\rho }(\mathbb {R_+})\). It turns out that when \(L_{\rho }(\mathbb {R_+})\) is an Orlicz space or Lorentz Gamma space \(i_{\rho }= j_{\rho }\) and \(I_{\rho }= J_{\rho }\). For \(\rho \) an Orlicz norm see [9]; for \(\rho \) a Lorentz Gamma norm see [10].
Finally, we describe that part of Interpolation Theory which is relevant to this paper.
Let \(X_{1}\) and \(X_{2}\) be Banach spaces compatible in the sense that both are continuously imbedded in the same Hausdorff topological space H, written
The spaces \(X_{1} \cap X_{2}\) and \(X_{1} + X_{2}\) are the sets
and
with norms
and
Recall that given Banach spaces \(X_{1}\) and \(X_{2}\) imbedded in a common Hausdorff topological vector space, their Peetre K-functional is defined for \(x \in X_{1}+ X_{2}\), \(t>0\), by
We observe that, for \(\Omega = {\mathbb {R}}^n\) or \(\mathbb {R_+}\), \(p \in [1, \infty )\), \(L_{p}(\Omega )\) and \(L_{\infty }(\Omega )\) are compatible, each being continuously imbedded in the Hausdorff topological space \(M(\Omega )\) equipped with the topology of convergence in measure. One has
\(f \in \left( L_{p} + L_{\infty } \right) (\Omega )\), see [12].
The inequality
from [13] reads
Definition 2.2
A Banach space Y is said to be intermediate between \(X_{1}\) and \(X_{2}\) if
Definition 2.3
A Banach space Y intermediate between the compatible spaces \(X_{1}\) and \(X_{2}\) is said to be an interpolation space between \(X_{1}\) and \(X_{2}\) if every linear operator T on \(X_{1} + X_{2}\) satisfying
also satisfies \(T: Y \rightarrow Y\).
Suppose now that \(\mu \) is an r.i. norm on \(M(\mathbb {R_+})\) satisfying \(\mu \left( \frac{1}{1+t} \right) < \infty \). Denote by \(X_{\mu }\) the set of all \(x \in X_{1}+ X_{2}\) for which
Then, \(X_{\mu }\), with the norm \(\rho _{\mu }\), is an interpolation space between \(X_{1}\) and \(X_{2}\), see [4]. Therefore, from (2.7), we have that the space \(X_{\rho _{\mu , p}}\), with the norm
is an interpolation space between \(L_{p}(\Omega )\) and \(L_{\infty }(\Omega )\).
Definition 2.4
A Banach space Y intermediate between the compatible spaces \(X_{1}\) and \(X_{2}\) is said to be monotone if, given \(x, y \in X_{1} + X_{2}\), with
one has \(y \in Y\) implies \(x \in Y\) and \( \Vert x \Vert _{Y} \le \Vert y \Vert _{Y}\).
The result of Lorentz–Shimogaki in [17, Theorem 2 and Lemma 3] asserts that the r.i. interpolation spaces between \(L_{p}(\Omega )\) and \(L_{\infty }(\Omega )\) are precisely the monotone spaces in that context. Further, the inequality (2.9) is a special case of (2.11). Thus, for \(L_{\rho }({\mathbb {R}}^{n})\) between \(L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^{n})\) and \(L_{\infty }({\mathbb {R}}^{n})\), there holds
whenever the r.i. norms \(\rho \) and \(\sigma \) on \(M({\mathbb {R}}^{n})\) satisfy
Remark 2.1
We have, for simplicity, chosen to restrict attention to functions \(f \in L_{1}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\), since then \({\hat{f}}\) is defined as a classical Lebesgue integral. Again, it is well known that for \(f \in L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\)
exists in the norm of \(L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\), which can be used to define \({\hat{f}}\). Thus, the Fourier transform can be defined as a function for all \(f \in \left( L_{1} + L_{2}\right) ({\mathbb {R}}^n)\). Indeed, it is shown in [3] that \( \left( L_{1} + L_{2}\right) ({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) is the largest r.i. space of functions that is mapped by \({\mathscr {F}}\) into a space of locally integrable functions.
The Editor has referred us to the paper [28], among others, where it is shown that, essentially the set of functions f for which \({\hat{f}}\) is defined as a function is the amalgam space \(\ell _{2} \left( L_{1} ({\mathbb {R}}^n) \right) \), which in the case \(n=1\) has the norm
This is a Banach function norm on \(M({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) that is not rearrangement-invariant, namely, it satisfies (1)–(6) in Definition 2.1, but not (7). Thus, we need spaces other than the r.i. ones to study the Fourier transform in the context of this space.
3 Proof of Theorem 1.1
Proof
The “if” part was proved towards the end of the Sect. 2. For the “only if” part, let B be the unit ball in \({\mathbb {R}}^n\) centered at the origin. Then \( \widehat{ \chi _{B} }\) is real-valued, radial and continuous, with \( \widehat{\chi _{B}}(0)=|B|.\) Also, \(0 \le \chi _B *\chi _{B} \le |B| \chi _{2B} \in L^1\) and \(\widehat{(\chi _B *\chi _{B})}=({{\widehat{\chi }}}_{B})^2.\)
Choose \(r > 0\) such that \(\widehat{\chi _B} \ge |B|/2 \) on rB. Let \(0 \le f \in L^1({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) be radial and radially decreasing. For \(t \in \mathbb {R_+}\), choose \(s>0\) such that \(|sB|=t^{-1}.\) Then
where we further shrink r to be such that \( 2^nr^n|B|^2<1\) and the constant \(C_n>0\) depends only on n.
Therefore, for \(f \in (L_{1} \cap L_{\sigma } )({\mathbb {R}}^n) \) such that \(f(x)= g(|x|)\), \(x \in {\mathbb {R}}^n\), with \(g \downarrow \) on \(\mathbb {R_+},\)
where the second inequality is the boundedness of the averaging operator, \(P: g \mapsto \frac{1}{t} \int _{0}^{t} g\), on \(L_{{\bar{\rho }}}({\mathbb {R}}_+)\), which follows from our hypothesis on \(L_{{\bar{\rho }}}({\mathbb {R}}_+)\) that it is the interpolation space between \(L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}_+)\) and \(L_{\infty }({\mathbb {R}}_+)\), and the Hardy’s inequality.
Given \(h \in \left( L_{1} \cap L_{ {\bar{\sigma }} } \right) (\mathbb {R_+})\), let \(g(t) = h^{*} ( |B| t^{n} )\) and set \(f(x)= g(|x|)\). Then, the rearrangement of f with respect to n-dimensional Lebesgue measure is equal to the rearrangement of h with respect to 1-dimensional Lebesgue measure. The foregoing argument then yields
The space \( \left( L_{1} \cap L_{ {\bar{\sigma }} } \right) (\mathbb {R_+})\) includes all bounded functions of compact support whence the monotone convergence theorem and the Fatou property of \({\bar{\rho }}\) and \({\bar{\sigma }}\) completes the proof. \(\square \)
Boyd in [7, pp. 92–98] associates to each r.i. norm \(\rho \) on \(M(\Omega )\), \(\Omega = {\mathbb {R}}^{n}\) or \({\mathbb {R}}_+\), and each \(p>1\) the functional
He shows that \(\rho ^{(p)}\) is an r.i. norm on \(M(\Omega )\) and that \({\bar{\rho }}(f^{**}) \le C {\bar{\rho }}(f^{*})\) holds with \({\bar{\rho }} = \overline{\rho ^{(p)}} = {\bar{\rho }}^{(p)}\).
The space defined by the norm \(\rho ^{(p)}\) is now referred to as the p-convexification of \(L_{\rho }({\mathbb {R}}^n)\). It was studied in a series of papers by G. Lozanovskiĭ about the time Boyd, independently, introduced his spaces. See the references to G. Lozanovskiĭ’s work in [19]. This latter paper treats the K-functional of p-convexifications, as does the paper [1]. These papers should shed light on the work involving \(\rho ^{(2)}\) in this and the next two sections.
Theorem 3.1
Let \(\rho \) be an r.i. norm on \(M(\Omega )\). For fixed \(p>1\), define \(\rho ^{(p)}\) as in (3.1). Then, \(L_{\rho ^{(p)}}(\Omega )\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{p}(\Omega )\) and \(L_{\infty }(\Omega )\).
Proof
Suppose the linear operator T satisfies
Then, according to [9, Theorem 1.11, pp. 301–304], there exists \(C>0\), such that
The HLP Principle involving \({\bar{\rho }}\) yields
and hence
\(\square \)
Theorem 3.2
Let \(\rho \) and \(\sigma \) be r.i. norms on \(M({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) determined, respectively, by the r.i. norms \({\bar{\rho }}\) and \({\bar{\sigma }}\) on \(M(\mathbb {R_+})\) by \(\rho (f) = {\bar{\rho }}(f^{*})\) and \(\sigma (f) = {\bar{\sigma }}(f^{*})\), \(f \in M({\mathbb {R}}^n)\). Then,
if and only if
Proof
The result is a consequence of Theorems 3.1 and 1.1. \(\square \)
From our discussion on the spaces \(X_{\rho _{\mu , p}}\), with the norm \(\rho _{\mu , p}\) given by (2.10), Theorem 1.1 guarantees
Theorem 3.3
Let \(\mu \) and \(\sigma \) be r.i. norms on \(M({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) determined, respectively, by the r.i. norms \({\bar{\mu }}\) and \({\bar{\sigma }}\) on \(M(\mathbb {R_+})\). Suppose \({\bar{\mu }} \left( \frac{1}{1+t} \right) < \infty \). Set
Then,
if and only if
Finally, consider an r.i. norm \(\rho \) on \(M({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) determined by the r.i. norm \(\bar{\rho }\) on \(M(\mathbb {R_+})\) and set
One has \(\rho _{U}\) an r.i. norm if \(\left( \bar{\rho } \, \circ U \right) ( \chi _{(0,t)} ) < \infty \) for all \(t>0\), or, equivalently, \({\bar{\rho }} \left( \frac{1}{1+t} \right) < \infty \). In that case, \(L_{{\bar{\rho }} \, \circ U } (\mathbb {R_+})\) is the largest r.i. space to be mapped into \(L_{{\bar{\rho }}}(\mathbb {R_+})\) by U.
With this background we now have
Theorem 3.4
Let \(\rho \) be an r.i. norm on \(M({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) defined in terms of an r.i. norm \({\bar{\rho }}\) on \(M(\mathbb {R_+})\) such that
Assuming \(L_{ {\bar{\rho }}}(\mathbb {R_+})\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2}(\mathbb {R_+})\) and \(L_{\infty }(\mathbb {R_+})\), one has that \(L_{\rho _{U}} ({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) is the largest r.i. space of functions on \({\mathbb {R}}^n\) to be mapped into \(L_{\rho }({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) by \({\mathscr {F}}\).
4 \({\mathscr {F}}\) in the Context of Orlicz Spaces
An Orlicz gauge norm is given in terms of an N-function
here \(\phi \) is a nondecreasing function mapping \(\mathbb {R_+}\) onto itself. These N-functions are convex functions of the type from [13] referred to in the Introduction. Specifically, the gauge norm \(\rho _{\Phi }\) is defined at \(f \in M(\Omega )\), \(\Omega = {\mathbb {R}}^n \) or \({\mathbb {R}}_+\), by
One can show \(\rho _{\Phi }(f)= {\bar{\rho }}_{\Phi }(f^{*})\), so that the Orlicz space
is an r.i. space. The norm \(\left( \rho _{\Phi } \right) '\) dual to \(\rho _{\Phi }\) is equivalent to the gauge norm \(\rho _{{\tilde{\Phi }}}\), where \({\tilde{\Phi }}(t) = \int _{0}^{t} \phi ^{-1}\), \(t \in {\mathbb {R}}_+\), see [9].
The definitive work on \({\mathscr {F}}\) between Orlicz spaces is due to Jodeit and Torchinsky. See, in particular, [13, Theorem 2.16]. This theorem asserts that if A and B are N-functions with \(L_{A}({\mathbb {R}}^n) \subset (L_{1} + L_{2})({\mathbb {R}}^n)\), \(L_{B}({\mathbb {R}}^n) \subset (L_{2} + L_{\infty })({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \({\mathscr {F}}: L_{A}({\mathbb {R}}^n) \rightarrow L_{B}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\), then there exist N-functions \(A_{1}\) and \(B_{1}\) with \(L_{A_{1}}({\mathbb {R}}^n) \supset L_{A}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(L_{B_{1}}({\mathbb {R}}^n) \subset L_{B}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) for which \({\mathscr {F}}: L_{A_{1}}({\mathbb {R}}^n) \rightarrow L_{B_{1}}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\). Moreover, \(B_{1}(t)= 1 / \tilde{A_{1}}(t^{-1})\); \(A_{1}(t) / t^{2} \downarrow \) on \(\mathbb {R_+}\) and so \(B_{1}(t) / t^{2}\) \(\uparrow \) on \(\mathbb {R_+}\).
Using the results in the previous sections we now show \(L_{A_{1}}(\mathbb {R_+})\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{1}(\mathbb {R_+})\) and \(L_{2}(\mathbb {R_+})\), while \(L_{B_{1}}(\mathbb {R_+})\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2}(\mathbb {R_+})\) and \(L_{\infty }(\mathbb {R_+})\).
To begin, we observe that \(B_{1}(t) / t^{2}\) \(\uparrow \) is equivalent to \(B_{1}(t) = \Phi (t^{2})\) for some N- function \(\Phi \). Indeed, given the latter, one has \(B_{1}(t) / t^{2} = \Phi (t^{2}) / t^{2} \uparrow \) on \(\mathbb {R_+}\). Again \(B_{1}(t) / t^{2} \uparrow \) implies \(B_{1}(t^{1/2} ) / t \uparrow \), so that \(\Phi (t)=B_{1}(t^{1/2})\) is such that \(B_{1}(t)= \Phi (t^{2})\). Next,
According to Theorem 3.1, then, \(L_{B_{1}}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(L_{\infty }({\mathbb {R}}^n)\).
Now, \(B_{1}(t)= 1 / \tilde{A_{1}}(t^{-1})\) is equivalent to \( \tilde{A_{1}}(t)= 1 / B_{1}(t^{-1})\), whence \(\tilde{A_{1}}(t) / t^{2}\) \(= (t^{-1})^{2} / B_{1}(t^{-1})\) and so \(B_{1}(t) / t^{2} \uparrow \) amounts to \(\tilde{A_{1}}(t) / t^{2} \uparrow \), that is, \(L_{\tilde{A_{1}}}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(L_{\infty }({\mathbb {R}}^n)\). Since \(L_{\tilde{A_{1}}}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) is the Köthe dual of \(L_{A_{1}}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) we conclude that \(L_{A_{1}}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{1}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\).
The monotonicity conditions on \(A_{1}\) and \(B_{1}\) translate into conditions on their associated fundamental functions. For example, \(L_{B_{1}}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) has fundamental function \(\phi _{B_{1}}(t)= \rho _{B_{1}} \left( \chi _{(0,t)} \right) = 1 / B_{1}^{-1}(t^{-1})\), \(t \in \mathbb {R_+}\). Thus setting \(t = 1 / B_{1}(y)\) in \(\frac{\phi _{B_{1}}(t)}{t^{1/2}} = \frac{1}{B_{1}^{-1}(t^{-1}) t^{1/2}}\) we arrive at \(\left( \frac{B_{1}(y)}{ y^{2}} \right) ^{1/2}\), which increases in y and therefore decreases in t, so \(\frac{\phi _{B_{1}} (t) }{ t^{1/2}} \downarrow \).
We observe that \(L_{A_{1}} ({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) is not the largest r.i. space that \({\mathscr {F}}\) maps into \(L_{B_{1}} ({\mathbb {R}}^n)\); that space has norm \(\rho _{B_{1}} (U f^{*})\). In the Lebesgue context, in which, say, \(B_{1}(t)= t^{p'}\), \(1<p<2\),
which is the so-called Lorentz norm \(\rho _{p,p'}\). This norm is smaller than \(\rho _{A_{1}} = \rho _{p}\). For more details see the next section.
The foregoing argument can be used to associate a pair of N-functions (A, B) to a given N-function \(\Phi \) such that \({\mathscr {F}}: L_{A} ({\mathbb {R}}^{n}) \rightarrow L_{B} ({\mathbb {R}}^{n})\). Moreover, \(L_{A} ({\mathbb {R}}^{n})\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{1}({\mathbb {R}}^{n})\) and \(L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^{n})\), while \(L_{B} ({\mathbb {R}}^{n})\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^{n})\) and \(L_{\infty }({\mathbb {R}}^{n})\). Indeed, we have
Theorem 4.1
Let \(\Phi \) be an N-function. Set \(B(t)= \Phi (t^2)\) and \({\tilde{A}}(t) = 1 / B(t^{-1})\). Then, essentially, \(\frac{A(t)}{t^2} \downarrow \),
or, equivalently,
with \(L_{A} ({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) an interpolation space between \(L_{1}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\), while \(L_{B}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(L_{\infty }({\mathbb {R}}^n)\).
Proof
The preceding discussion shows \(\rho _{B} = \rho _{\Phi ^{(2)}}\) whence \(L_{B} ({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) is between \(L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(L_{\infty }({\mathbb {R}}^n)\). Again \(B(t) / t^2 \uparrow \) and \({\tilde{A}} (t) / t^2 \uparrow \) which means \(L_{{\tilde{A}}}\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(L_{\infty }({\mathbb {R}}^n)\), whence \(L_{A}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{1}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\). Finally, Theorem 3.10 in [13] ensures
since \(B(t) = 1 / {\tilde{A}}(t^{-1})\) is equivalent to \({\tilde{A}}(t) = 1 / B(t^{-1})\). \(\square \)
5 \({\mathscr {F}}\) Between Lorentz Gamma Spaces
In this section, we make use of the operators P and Q defined by
These operators satisfy the equations
and
Fix an index \(p \in (1, \infty )\) and a weight \(0 \le u \in M({\mathbb {R}}_+)\). The Lorentz Gamma norm \(\rho _{p, u}\) defined in terms of the Lorentz norm \(\lambda _{p,u}(f) = \lambda _{p,u}(f^{*}) = \left( \int _{{\mathbb {R}}_+} f^{*}(t)^p dt \right) ^{1/p}\) by
where, once again, \(\Omega = {\mathbb {R}}^{n}\) or \({\mathbb {R}}_{+}\).
To guarantee \(\rho _{p, u}(\chi _{E}) < \infty \) for all measurable sets \(E \subset \Omega \) with \(|E|< \infty \), we require
The Lorentz Gamma space
is then an r.i. space. The norm, \(\rho _{p',v'}\), dual to \(\rho _{p,u}\) is given by
where, \(p' = p / (p-1)\) and
This is shown, for example, in [10].
In this section we study the inequality
We begin by assuming \(\Gamma _{p,u}(\mathbb {R_+})\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2}(\mathbb {R_+})\) and \(L_{\infty }(\mathbb {R_+}),\) then address the question of when this is the case later in the section.
Recall that Theorem 1.1 ensures that (5.2) holds if and only if
Theorem 5.1
Let the indices p, q and weights u, v be as described above. Then, given that \(\Gamma _{p,u}(\mathbb {R_+})\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2}(\mathbb {R_+})\) and \(L_{\infty }(\mathbb {R_+}),\) one has (5.2) if and only if
where, as usual, \(p'=\frac{p}{p-1}\), \( q'=\frac{q}{q-1}\), \(\int _{\mathbb {R_+}} v=\infty \),
and
Proof
The inequality (5.3) tells that the space determined by the r.i. norm \({{\bar{\rho }}}_{p,u} (Uf^*)\) is the largest one mapped into \(\Gamma _{p,u}({\mathbb {R}}_+)\) by U. Now,
Further,
We have shown that
Therefore, any \( \Gamma _{q,v}(\mathbb {R_+})\) mapped into \( \Gamma _{p,u}(\mathbb {R_+})\) by U must be embedded into this largest domain; that is,
But, since (5.5) is equivalent to (5.4), its dual inequality, (5.5) may be tested over any \(0 \le f \in M({\mathbb {R}}_+),\) as is seen in
\(\square \)
The inequality (5.4), and hence (5.2), amounts to
with \(h=g^{**}\) belonging to
Such inequalities are shown in Theorem 4.4 of [10] to be equivalent to a pair of weighted norm inequalities involving general non-negative measurable functions. In the case of (5.6) this leads to
Theorem 5.2
Let the indices p, q and weights u, v be as in Theorem 5.1. Then, (5.6) holds if and only if
and
Proof
According to Theorem 4.4 in [10], one has (5.6) if and only if
and
holds for all \( 0 \le g \in M(\mathbb {R_+}).\)
These are dual inequalities. We choose the second one, which easily reduces to (5.7). \(\square \)
To deal with the case \(q \le p\) we will use special instances of the following combination of Theorems 1.7 and 4.1 from [6].
Theorem 5.3
Consider \(0 \le K(x,y) \in M \left( \mathbb {R_+}\times \mathbb {R_+} \right) \), which, for fixed \(y \in \mathbb {R_+}\), increases in x and, for fixed \(x \in \mathbb {R_+},\) decreases in y and which, moreover, satisfies the growth condition
Let t, u, v and w be nonnegative, measurable (weight) functions on \(\mathbb {R_+}\) and suppose \(\Phi _1(x)= \int _0^x \phi _1\) and \(\Phi _2(x)= \int _0^x \phi _2\) are N-functions having complementary functions \(\Psi _1(x)= \int _0^x {\phi _1}^{-1} \) and \(\Psi _2(x)= \int _0^x {\phi _2}^{-1}\), respectively, with \(\Phi _1\circ {\Phi _2}^{-1}\) convex. Then there exists \(c>0\) such that
\(0 \le f \in M({\mathbb {R_+}})\), if and only if
and
where
and
Theorem 5.4
Let \(p,q,u,u',u_p,v,v'\) be as in the Theorem 5.1, with \(1<q \le p<\infty \). Then, given that \(\Gamma _{p,u}(\mathbb {R_+})\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2}(\mathbb {R_+})\) and \(L_{\infty }(\mathbb {R_+})\), one has (5.2) if and only if
-
(1)
$$\begin{aligned} {\left( \int _0^x u_p(y)dy\right) }^{\frac{1}{p}} {\left( \int _x^{\infty }v'(y)y^{-q'} dy \right) }^{\frac{1}{q'}} \le C \end{aligned}$$
-
(2)
$$\begin{aligned} {\left( \int _0^x v'(y) dy \right) }^{\frac{1}{q'}} {\left( \int _x^{\infty }u_p(y)y^{-p} dy \right) }^{\frac{1}{p}}\le C \end{aligned}$$
-
(3)
$$\begin{aligned} {\left( \int _0^x {\left( \log \frac{x}{y} \right) }^p u_p(y) dy \right) }^{\frac{1}{p}} {\left( \int _x^{\infty }v'(y)y^{-q'} dy \right) }^{\frac{1}{q'}} \le C \end{aligned}$$
-
(4)
$$\begin{aligned} {\left( \int _0^x u_p(y)dy\right) }^{\frac{1}{p}} {\left( \int _x^{\infty } v'(y){\left( \frac{1}{y} \log \frac{y}{x} \right) }^{q'} dy \right) }^{\frac{1}{q'}}\le C. \end{aligned}$$
Indeed (1) and (3) can be combined into
Proof
The first inequality in (5.7) amounts to
and
the latter inequality being, by duality, equivalent to
We illustrate the method of proof with the second inequality in (6.7) involving
Thus, taking, in Theorem 6.3, \(K(x,y)={\log }_+ \frac{x}{y}\), \(\Phi _1(x)=x^{q'}\), \(\Phi _2(x)=x^{p'}\) (observe that \((\Phi _1 \circ {\Phi _2}^{-1})(x)= x^{\frac{q'}{p'}},\) which is convex when \(q \le p\)), \(w(y)=y^{-1}\), \(t(y)=v'(y)\), \( u(y)={u_p(y)}^{-1}\), \(v(y)=u_p(y)\) we get
and
from which the conditions in Theorem 5.3 yields (3) and (4). We point out that \(\lambda \) cancels. \(\square \)
The inequality (5.2) is much easier to deal with when
which equivalence is not all that uncommon, as we will see later in this section. Indeed, given (5.8),
We thus have
Theorem 5.5
Let p, q, u, \(u_{p}\) and v be as in Theorem 5.1. Then, given that \(\Gamma _{p,u} (\mathbb {R_+})\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2} (\mathbb {R_+})\) and \(L_{\infty } (\mathbb {R_+})\), with \(\rho _{p,u}\) satisfying (5.8), one has
Moreover, there is no essentially smaller r.i.-norm that can replace \(\rho _{p, u_{p}}\) in (5.9).
Finally, there is a relatively simple condition sufficient to guarantee (5.2). It comes out of working with the inequality (5.5) and involves the norm of the dilation operator \(E_s\) as a mapping from \(\Gamma _{q,v}(\mathbb {R_+})\) to \(\Gamma _{p,u_p}(\mathbb {R_+}),\) namely,
The argument in the proof of Theorem 4.1 of [16] ensures (5.5) provided
Again the argument in the proof of Theorem 5.2 in [10] yields
when \(1<q\le p<\infty .\)
Altogether, we have
Theorem 5.6
Let p, q, u, \(u_{p}\) and v be as in Theorem 5.1, with \(1<q\le p<\infty \). Then, given that \(\Gamma _{p,u} (\mathbb {R_+})\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2} (\mathbb {R_+})\) and \(L_{\infty } (\mathbb {R_+})\), one has (5.9) provided
Proof
The result follows from the preceeding discussion, since (5.9) and (5.5) are equivalent when \(\Gamma _{p,u} (\mathbb {R_+})\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2} (\mathbb {R_+})\) and \(L_{\infty } (\mathbb {R_+}).\) \(\square \)
We now consider the question of when \(\Gamma _{p,u} (\mathbb {R_+})\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2} (\mathbb {R_+})\) and \(L_{\infty } (\mathbb {R_+}).\)
To begin, recall that \(\rho _{p,u} \simeq \lambda _{p,u} \) was shown in [2] to be equivalent to the \(B_{p}\) condition
We have
Theorem 5.7
Fix \(p \in (2, \infty )\) and a weight \(0 \le u \in M(\mathbb {R_+})\). Suppose u satisfies the \(B_{p/2}\) condition. Then, \(\Gamma _{p,u}(\mathbb {R_+})\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2}(\mathbb {R_+})\) and \(L_{\infty }(\mathbb {R_+})\).
Proof
The \(B_{p/2}\) condition is necessary and sufficient in order that \(\rho _{p/2,u} \simeq \lambda _{p/2,u} \). Thus,
But, \(B_{p/2}\) condition implies
and so
We conclude \(\Gamma _{p,u}(\mathbb {R_+}) = L_{ \rho _{p/2, u}^{(2)} } (\mathbb {R_+})\) and hence, in view of Theorem 3.1, \(\Gamma _{p,u}(\mathbb {R_+})\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{2}(\mathbb {R_+})\) and \(L_{\infty }(\mathbb {R_+})\). \(\square \)
Remark 5.1
G. Sinnamon in [27] proved that, given \(u \in B_{p/2}\) and provided \(0<q \le 2 \le p < \infty \), one has (5.2) if and only if
with \(v_{q}(t)= v(t^{-1}) \, t^{q-2}\), \(t \in {\mathbb {R}}_+\). Theorem 5.7 and the fact that \({\bar{\rho }}_{p, u} (U f^{*}) \simeq {\bar{\rho }}_{p, u_{p}}(f^{*})\), ensures that, for \(p \in [2, \infty )\) and any \(q \in (1, \infty )\), one has (5.2) if and only if
In the proof of Theorem 5.10 below we require a corollary of the following result of R. Sharpley from [25, Lemma 3.1, Corollary 3.2]
Theorem 5.8
Let \(\rho \) be an r.i. norm on \(M({\mathbb {R}}^{n})\). Suppose the fundamental indices of \(L_{ {\bar{\rho }}} (\mathbb {R_+})\) lie in (0, 1). Given \(p \in (1, \infty )\), set \(\mu _{p}(t) = \frac{ {\bar{\rho }} \left( \chi _{(0,t)}\right) ^{p} }{t}\), \(t \in \mathbb {R_+}\). Then, \({\bar{\rho }}_{p, \mu _{p}} \left( \chi _{(0,t)}\right) = {\bar{\rho }} \left( \chi _{(0,t)}\right) \), \(t \in \mathbb {R_+}\). Moreover,
Corollary 5.9
Let \(\rho = \rho _{p, u}\) be as in Theorem 5.8. Then, \(\rho = \rho _{p, \mu _{p}}\), where \(\mu _{p}(t) = \frac{ {\bar{\rho }} \left( \chi _{(0,t)}\right) ^{p} }{t},\) \(t \in \mathbb {R_+}\).
Proof
The spaces \(\Gamma _{p, u}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(\Gamma _{p, \mu _{p}}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) have \({\bar{\rho }}_{p, \mu _{p}} \left( \chi _{(0,t)}\right) = {\bar{\rho }}_{p,u} \left( \chi _{(0,t)}\right) \), \(t \in \mathbb {R_+}\). As such, the spaces are identical, in view of [10, Theorem 5.1]. \(\square \)
The principal result of this section is
Theorem 5.10
Fix \(p \in [2, \infty )\) and \(0 \le u \in M(\mathbb {R_+})\), with \(\int _{R_+} \frac{u(t)}{1+t^{p}}dt < \infty \). Suppose the fundamental indices of \(\Gamma _{p,u}({\mathbb {R}}^{n})\) lie in (0, 1). Then, \(\Gamma _{p,u}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{p}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(L_{\infty }({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) (and hence between \(L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(L_{\infty }({\mathbb {R}}^n)\)) if and only if
for some \(C>0\) independent of \(t \in \mathbb {R_+}\). Moreover, the optimal r.i. domain for \({\mathscr {F}}\) corresponding to \(\Gamma _{p,u}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) has the norm
Proof
Suppose first that \(p=2\). Given \( T: L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^n), L_{\infty }({\mathbb {R}}^n) \rightarrow L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^n), L_{\infty }({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) one has, according to [9, Theorem 1.11, p. 301] and [12],
\(f \in \left( L_{2} + L_{\infty } \right) (\mathbb {R_+})\), in which \(M= M_{\infty } / M_{2}\), \(M_{k}\) being the norm of T on \(L_{k}(\mathbb {R_+})\), \(k=2, \infty \). In view of (5.11), HLP yields
\(f \in \left( L_{2} + L_{\infty } \right) (\mathbb {R_+})\). Theorem 5.8 now ensures the latter is equivalent to
where h(t) is the norm of the dilation operator \(E_{t}\) on \(\Gamma _{ 2, \mu _{2} } (\mathbb {R_+}) = \Gamma _{2,u}(\mathbb {R_+})\), \(\mu _{2}(s)= \frac{{\bar{\rho }}_{2,u} \left( \chi _{(0,s)}\right) ^{2}}{s}\), by Corollary 5.9, that is, \(T: \Gamma _{2,u}({\mathbb {R}}^n) \rightarrow \Gamma _{2,u}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\). Thus, \(\Gamma _{2,u}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) is between \(L_{2}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(L_{ \infty }({\mathbb {R}}^n)\).
Suppose, next, \(p>2\). The “if” part of our theorem will follow in this case if we can show (5.11) implies the weight \(w(t)= \frac{{\bar{\rho }}_{p,u} \left( \chi _{(0,t)}\right) ^{p}}{t}\) satisfies \(B_{p/2}\) condition. But,
This completes the proof of “if” part.
As for the “only if” part we rely on a result of L. Maligranda [18] asserting that if \(L_{\rho }({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) is an interpolation space between \(L_{p}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(L_{\infty }({\mathbb {R}}^n)\), then
Indeed, for \(t \le s\), (5.12) yields
or
from which (5.11) follows. \(\square \)
To this point the Lorentz Gamma range norms have been equivalent to functionals of the form
This need not be the case for the \(\rho _{ 2p, u} \) in Theorem 5.12 below.
Lemma 5.11
Fix \(p \in (1, \infty )\) and \(0 \le u \in M(\mathbb {R_+})\), with
Then,
where
moreover, \(u^{(p)}\) is essentially the smallest weight for which (5.13) holds.
Proof
It is shown in [21] that
if and only if
But,
We conclude that
\(\square \)
Theorem 5.12
Let p and u be as in Lemma 5.11. Then,
where
Proof
Applying the construction in (3.1) to the functionals in (5.13) yields
Again,
by Hölder’s inequality.
Hence, using HLP in (2.8), yields
\(\square \)
Example 5.1
Fix p, \(1<p< \infty \), and set
with \(0<\alpha <1\). Then, one has
or, equivalently,
does not hold. Indeed, the left hand side of (5.15) is equal to \(C t^{2p} \left( \log \textstyle \frac{1}{t} \right) ^{- \alpha + 1}\), while the right hand side is
in view of L’Hôspital rule. The ratio of the left side to the right side in (5.15) is, essentially, \(\log \textstyle \frac{1}{t}\) which \(\rightarrow \infty \) as \(t \rightarrow 0^{+}\).
6 Other Work
Inequalities involving Fourier transform other than those considered in this paper are weighted Lebesgue inequalities
and weighted Lorentz inequalities
in which \(0 \le v, w \in M({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and \(1< p, q < \infty \).
In both [15, 20] conditions are for the Lebesgue inequalities that apply not just to w and v but to all weights equimeasurable with them. The extreme cases of these are the decreasing rearrangement, W, of w and the increasing rearrangement, V, of v. This reduces the considerations to the case \(w \downarrow \) and \(v \uparrow \).
The weighted Lebesgue inequalities are shown in [15, 20] to be equivalent to inequalities of the form, for example when \(1 \le p \le q \le \infty \),
In [15] the sufficiency is proved using the inequality (2.8) from [13]. The necessity comes out of the inequality
from [15]. The proofs in [20] are more complicated. The conditions for the weighted Lorentz inequalities are similar to (6.1).
A brief survey of papers on these inequalities, from the pioneering work of Benedetto and Heinig [5] through that of G. Sinnamon [26] and Rastegari and Sinnamon [24], is given in the paper [22] of Nursultanov and Tikhonov.
In this paper we have seen the behaviour of \({\mathscr {F}}\) on r.i. spaces depends on its action on radially decreasing functions. But what about the size of f if \({\hat{f}}\) is radially decreasing? This question is taken up in [11] in the context of Fourier series where functions with a cosine series having decreasing coefficients as \(|n| \rightarrow \infty \) are studied.
