An endpoint weak-type estimate for multilinear Calder\'on-Zygmund operators

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide an alternative proof of the weak-type $\left(1,\ldots,1;\frac{1}{m}\right)$ estimate for $m$-multilinear Calder\'on-Zygmund operators on $\mathbb{R}^n$ first proved by Grafakos and Torres. Subsequent proofs in the bilinear setting have been given by Maldonado and Naibo and also by P\'erez and Torres. The proof given here is motivated by the proof of the weak-type $(1,1)$ estimate for Calder\'on-Zygmund operators in the nonhomogeneous setting by Nazarov, Treil, and Volberg.
