Interpolation Between $H^p$ Spaces and Non-Commutative Generalizations II

Abstract

We continue an investigation started in a preceding paper. We discuss the classical results of Carleson connecting Carleson measures with the $\d$-equation in a slightly more abstract framework than usual. We also consider a more recent result of Peter Jones which shows the existence of a solution of the $\d$-equation, which satisfies simultaneously a good $L_\i$ estimate and a good $L_1$ estimate. This appears as a special case of our main result which can be stated as follows: Let $(\Omega,\cal{A},\mu)$ be any measure space. Consider a bounded operator $u:H^1\ra L_1(\mu)$. Assume that on one hand $u$ admits an extension $u_1:L^1\ra L_1(\mu)$ bounded with norm $C_1$, and on the other hand that $u$ admits an extension $u_\i:L^\i\ra L_\i(\mu)$ bounded with norm $C_\i$. Then $u$ admits an extension $\w{u}$ which is bounded simultaneously from $L^1$ into $ L_1(\mu)$ and from $L^\i$ into $ L_\i(\mu)$ and satisfies $$\eqalign{&\|\tilde u\colon \ L_\infty \to L_\infty(\mu)\|\le CC_\infty\cr &\|\tilde u\colon \ L_1\to L_1(\mu)\|\le CC_1}$$ where $C$ is a numerical constant.
