$L_p$-Theory of Type $1,1$-Operators

Abstract

This is a continuation of recent work on the general definition of pseudo-differential operators of type $1,1$, in H\"ormander's sense. Continuity in $L_p$-Sobolev spaces and H\"older--Zygmund spaces, and more generally in Besov and Lizorkin--Triebel spaces, is proved for positive smoothness, with extension to arbitrary smoothness for operators in the self-adjoint subclass. As a main tool the paradifferential decomposition is used for type $1,1$-operators in combination with the Spectral Support Rule for pseudo-differential operators and pointwise estimates in terms of maximal functions of Peetre--Fefferman--Stein type.
