Sparse domination via the Calder\'on-Zygmund decomposition: the example of Dini-smooth kernels

Abstract

In this expository article, we briefly survey the main known schemes of proof of sparse domination principles within harmonic analysis. We then use the one based on the Calder\'on-Zygmund decomposition to prove a dual sparse domination estimate for Calder\'on-Zymgund operators with Dini-smooth kernels, with an eye on the difficulties that arise when trying to transfer the argument to spaces with nondoubling measures.
