On Fefferman--Stein type inequality on Shilov boundaries and applications

Abstract

In this paper, we establish the Fefferman--Stein type inequality for area integral and non-tangential maximal function on the Shilov boundary studied by Nagel and Stein in 2004. The technique here is inspired by Fefferman--Stein (1972) and Merryfield (1985) but we bypass the use of Fourier or group structure as these were not available on the polynomial domains of finite type. Direct applications include the maximal function characterisation of product Hardy space and the weak type endpoint estimate for product Calder\'on--Zygmund operators (such as the Cauchy--Szeg\H{o} projection) on the Shilov boundary.
