Preduals of quadratic Campanato spaces associated to operators with heat kernel bounds

Abstract

Let $L$ be a nonnegative, self-adjoint operator on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with the Gaussian upper bound on its heat kernel. As a generalization of the square Campanato space $\mathcal{L}^{2,\lambda}_{-\Delta}(\mathbb R^n)$, in \cite{DXY} the quadratic Campanato space $\mathcal{L}_L^{2,\lambda}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ is defined by a variant of the maximal function associated with the semigroup $\{e^{-tL}\}_{t\geq 0}$. On the basis of \cite{DX} and \cite{YY} this paper addresses the preduality of $\mathcal{L}_L^{2,\lambda}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ through an induced atom (or molecular) decomposition. Even in the case $L=-\Delta$ the discovered predual result is new and natural.
