A note on variable (Hardy-)Lorentz spaces

Abstract

The purpose of this note is to establish further properties of the variable Lorentz spaces $\mathfrak{L}^{p(\cdot), q(\cdot)}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ introduced by L. Ephremidze, V. Kokilashvili and S. Samko, which will allow us to apply the theory of Hardy spaces associated with ball quasi-Banach function spaces, and so define the variable Hardy-Lorentz spaces associated with $\mathfrak{L}^{p(\cdot), q(\cdot)}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. Then, the finite and infinite atomic decompositions for these spaces will be deduced immediately. We also obtain the boundedness of singular integrals and fractional type operators in variable Hardy-Lorentz spaces, and provide a Fefferman-Stein vector-valued inequality for the fractional maximal operator on the $r$-convexification of variable Lorentz spaces.
