A self-improving property of Riesz potentials in BMO

Abstract

In this paper we prove that for non-negative measurable functions $f$, \begin{align*} I_\alpha f \in BMO(\mathbb{R}^n) \text{ if and only if } I_\alpha f \in BMO^\beta(\mathbb{R}^n) \text{ for } \beta \in (n-\alpha,n]. \end{align*} Here $I_\alpha$ denotes the Riesz potential of order $\alpha$ and $BMO^\beta$ represents the space of functions of bounded $\beta$-dimensional mean oscillation.
