Integrable fractional mean functions on spaces of homogeneous type

Abstract

The class of Banach spaces $(L^{q},L^{p}) ^{\alpha}(X,d,\mu)$, $1\leq q\leq \alpha \leq p\leq \infty ,$ introduced in \cite{F1} in connection with the study of the continuity of the fractional maximal operator of Hardy-Littlewood and of the Fourier transformation in the case $% X=\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and $\mu $ is the Lebesgue measure, was generalized in \cite{FFK} to the setting of homogeneous groups. We generalize it here to spaces of homogeneous type and we prove that the results obtained in \cite{FFK} such as relations between these spaces and Lebesgue spaces, weak Lebesgue and Morrey spaces, remain true.
