A family of Hardy type spaces on nondoubling manifolds

Abstract

We introduce a decreasing one-parameter family $\mathfrak{X}^{\gamma}(M)$, $\gamma>0$, of Banach subspaces of the Hardy-Goldberg space $\mathfrak{h}^1(M)$ on certain nondoubling Riemannian manifolds with bounded geometry and we investigate their properties. In particular, we prove that $\mathfrak{X}^{1/2}(M)$ agrees with the space of all functions in $\mathfrak{h}^1(M)$ whose Riesz transform is in $L^1(M)$, and we obtain the surprising result that this space does not admit an atomic decomposition.
