Abstract

Let μ be a positive locally finite Borel measure on Rn that is doubling, and define the homogeneous Ws(μ) -Sobolev norm squared ∥f∥Ws(μ)2 of a function f∈Lloc2(μ) by ∫Rn∫Rn(f(x)-f(y)|x-y|s)2dμ(x)dμ(y)|B(x+y2,|x-y|2)|μ,and denote by Ws(μ) the corresponding Hilbert space completion (when μ is Lebesgue measure, this is the familiar Sobolev space on Rn). We prove in particular that for 0 ≤ α< n, and σ and ω doubling measures on Rn, there is a positive constant θ such for 0 < s< θ, any smooth α-fractional convolution singular integral Tα with homogeneous kernel that is nonvanishing in some coordinate direction, is bounded from Ws(σ) to Ws(ω) if and only if the classical fractional Muckenhoupt condition on the measure pair holds, A2α≡supQ∈Qn|Q|ω|Q|σ|Q|2(1-αn)<∞,as well as the Sobolev 1-testing and 1-testing conditions for the operator Tα, ∥Tσα1I∥Ws(ω)≤TTα(σ,ω)|I|σℓ(I)-s,I∈Qn,∥Tωα,∗1I∥Ws(σ)∗≤TTα,∗(ω,σ)|I|ωℓ(I)s,I∈Qn,taken over the family of indicator test functions {1I}I∈Pn. Here Qn is the collection of all cubes with sides parallel to the coordinate axes, and Ws(μ) denotes the dual of Ws(μ) determined by the usual L2(μ) bilinear pairing, which we identify with a dyadic Sobolev space Wdyad-s(μ) of negative order. The sufficiency assertion persists for more general singular integral operators Tα.
