Littlewood-Paley-Stein theory and Banach spaces in the inverse Gaussian setting

Abstract

In this paper we consider Littlewood-Paley functions defined by the semigroups associated with the operator $\mathcal{A}=-\frac{\Delta}{2}-x\nabla$ in the inverse Gaussian setting for Banach valued functions. We characterize the uniformly convex and smooth Banach spaces by using $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n,\gamma_{-1})$- properties of the $\mathcal{A}$-Littlewood-Paley functions. We also use Littlewood-Paley functions associated with $\mathcal{A}$ to characterize the K\"othe function spaces with the UMD property.
