On a class of Mikhlin multipliers which do not preserve $L^1$-, $L^\infty$-regularity and continuity

Abstract

We show that every Fourier multiplier with real-valued and positively homogeneous symbol of order 0, supported in a cone whose dual cone has a nonempty interior and such that the average of the positive part is sufficiently larger than the average of the negative part does not preserve the $L^1$- nor the $L^\infty$ regularity and neither the continuity.We also construct wave front sets which measure the microlocal regularity with respect to a large class of Banach spaces. As a consequence of the first part, we argue that one can never construct wave front sets that behave in a natural way and measure the microlocal $L^1$- nor $L^\infty$-regularity and neither the continuity
