This paper studies the relationship between vector-valued BMO functions and the Carleson measures defined by their gradients. Let dA and dm denote Lebesgue measures on the unit disc D and the unit circle T, respectively. For 1 < q < ∞ and a Banach space B, we prove that there exists a positive constant c such that q−1 q q q sup (1 − |z|) k∇ f (z)k Pz0 (z)dA(z) ≤ c sup k f (z) − f (z0)k Pz0 (z)dm(z) z0∈D ZD z0∈D ZT holds for all trigonometric polynomials f with coefficients in B if and only if B admits an equivalent norm which is q-uniformly convex, where 2 1 − |z0| P (z) = . z0 2 |1 − z¯0z| The validity of the converse inequality is equivalent to the existence of an equivalent q-uniformly smooth norm. 1 Introduction Let T be the unit circle of the complex plane equipped with normalized Haar measure dm. Recall that an integrable function f on T is of bounded mean oscillation (BMO) if 1 k f k∗ = sup | f − fI|dm < ∞, I |I| ZI T = −1 where the supremum runs over all arcs of and fI |I| I f dm is the mean of f over I. Let BMO(T) denote the space of BMO functions onRT. The means over arcs in this definition can be replaced by the averages of f against the Poisson kernel Pz0 for the unit disc D: 2 = 1 − |z0| T Pz0 (z) 2 , z0 ∈ D, z ∈ . |1 − z¯0z| Then 2 2 k f k∗ ≈ sup | f (z) − f (z0)| Pz0 (z)dm(z), z0∈D ZT Received by the editors January 17, 2008.

Ouyang and Q. Xu with universal equivalence constants. Here, as well as in the sequel, we denote also by f its Poisson integral in D: = f (z0) f (z)Pz0 (z)dm(z), z0 ∈ D. ZT On the other hand, it is well known that BMO functions can be characterized by Carleson measures. A positive measure µ on D is called a Carleson measure if 2 = 1 − |z0| kµkC sup 2 dµ(z) < ∞. z0∈D ZD |1 − z¯0z| Let f ∈ L1(T). Then f ∈ BMO(T) if and only if |∇ f (z)|2(1−|z|2)dA(z) is a Carleson measure, where dA(z) denotes Lebesgue measure on D. In this case, we have 2 2 2 2 (1 − |z| )(1 − |z0| ) (1.1) k f k∗ ≈ sup |∇ f (z)| 2 dA(z). z0∈D ZD |1 − z¯0z| We refer to [6] for all these results. This paper concerns the vector-valued version of (1.1). More precisely, we are interested in characterizing Banach spaces B for which one of the two inequalities in (1.1) holds for B-valued functions f . Given a Banach space B, let Lp(T; B) denote the usual Lp-space of Bochner p-integrable functions on T with values in B. The space BMO(T; B) of B-valued functions on T is defined in the same way as in the scalar case just by replacing the absolute value of C by the norm of B. Then the vector-valued analogue of (1.1) is the following: 2 2 −1 2 2 (1 − |z| )(1 − |z0| ) 2 (1.2) c1 k f k∗ ≤ sup k∇ f (z)k 2 dA(z) ≤ c2k f k∗ z0∈D ZD |1 − z¯0z| for all f ∈ BMO(T; B), where c1, c2 are two positive constants (depending on B), and where ∂ f ∂ f k∇ f (z)k = (z) + (z) , z = x + iy. ° ∂x ° ° ∂y ° ° ° ° ° It is part of the folklore that (1.2)° holds° if° and only° if B is isomorphic to a Hilbert space (see [2]). We include a proof of this result at the end of the paper for the convenience of the reader. However, if one considers the validity of only one of the two inequalities in (1.2), the matter becomes much subtler and the corresponding class of Banach spaces is much larger. The following theorem solves this problem. Theorem 1.1 Let B be a Banach space. (i) There exists a positive constant c such that 2 2 2 (1 − |z| )(1 − |z0| ) 2 sup k∇ f (z)k 2 dA(z) ≤ ck f k∗ z0∈D ZD |1 − z¯0z| holds for all trigonometric polynomials f with coefficients in B if and only if B admits an equivalent norm that is 2-uniformly convex.

BMO Functions and Carleson Measures with Values in Uniformly Convex Spaces 829 (ii) There exists a positive constant c such that 2 2 2 (1 − |z| )(1 − |z0| ) −1 2 sup k∇ f (z)k 2 dA(z) ≥ c k f k∗ z0∈D ZD |1 − z¯0z| holds for all trigonometric polynomials f with coefficients in B if and only if B admits an equivalent norm that is 2-uniformly smooth. We refer to the next section for the definition of uniform convexity (smoothness). This theorem is intimately related to the main result of [15], where the vector-valued Littlewood–Paley theory is studied. Given f ∈ L1(T; B), define the Littlewood–Paley g-function 1 2 G( f )(z) = (1 − r)k∇ f (rz)k2dr, z ∈ T. Z ¡ ¢ 0 The following fact is again well known. The equivalence kG( f )kL2(T) ≈ k f − f (0)kL2(T;B) holds uniformly for all B-valued trigonometric polynomials f if and only if B is iso- morphic to a Hilbert space. However, the two one-sided inequalities are related to uniform convexity (smoothness). More precisely, we have the following result from [15]. Theorem 1.2 Let B be a Banach space. (i) B has an equivalent 2-uniformly convex norm if and only if for some p ∈ (1, ∞) (or equivalently, for every p ∈ (1, ∞)) there exists a positive constant c such that (1.3) kG( f )kLp(T) ≤ ck f kLp(T;B) holds for all B-valued trigonometric polynomials f . (ii) B has an equivalent 2-uniformly smooth norm if and only if for some p ∈ (1, ∞) (or equivalently, for every p ∈ (1, ∞)) there exists a positive constant c such that (1.4) k f − f (0)kLp(T;B) ≤ ckG( f )kLp(T) holds for all B-valued trigonometric polynomials f . According to [15], the spaces satisfying (1.3) (resp. (1.4)) are said to be of Lusin cotype 2 (resp. Lusin type 2). The name Lusin refers to the fact that the Littlewood– Paley g-function can be replaced by the Lusin area function. At this stage, let us also recall that by Pisier’s renorming theorem [10], B has an equivalent 2-uniformly convex (resp. smooth) norm if and only if B is of martingale cotype (resp. type) 2. The value p = ∞ is, of course, not allowed in Theorem 1.2. At the time of the writing of [15], the second author guessed that a correct version of Theorem 1.2 for p = ∞ should be Theorem 1.1, but could not confirm this. Our proof of Theorem 1.1 relies heavily on Theorem 1.2 and Calderon–Zygmund´ singular integral theory. In fact, we will work in the more general setting of a Euclidean space Rn instead of T. On the other hand, the power 2 in k∇ f k2 no longer plays any special role in the vector-valued setting. We will consider the analogue of Theorem 1.1 for k∇ f kq with 1 < q < ∞. The corresponding result is stated separately in Theorems 4.1 and 5.1 below, which correspond to the end point p = ∞ of the results of [9, 15].

Xu 2 Preliminaries Our references for harmonic analysis are [5, 6, 14]. All results quoted in this paper without explicit reference can be found there. However, one sometimes needs to adapt arguments in the scalar case to the vector-valued setting. Let (Ω, µ) be a measure space and B a Banach space. For 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, we denote by Lp(Ω, µ; B) the usual Lp-space of Bochner (or strongly) measurable functions on p Ω with values in B. The norm of L (Ω, µ; B) is denoted by k · kp. The n-dimensional Rn 1 Rn Euclidean space is equipped with Lebesgue measure, and Lloc( ; B) denotes the space of locally integrable functions on Rn with values in B. Recall the Poisson kernel on Rn: Γ( n+1 ) t P (x) = 2 , x ∈ Rn, t > 0. t π(n+1)/2 (t2 + |x|2)(n+1)/2 1 Rn Let f ∈ Lloc( ; B) such that 1 k f (x)k n+1 dx < ∞.

  • Nontangential Limits in Pt(Μ)-Spaces and the Index of Invariant Subspaces
    Annals of Mathematics, 169 (2009), 449{490 Nontangential limits in Pt(µ)-spaces and the index of invariant subspaces By Alexandru Aleman, Stefan Richter, and Carl Sundberg* Abstract Let µ be a finite positive measure on the closed disk D in the complex plane, let 1 ≤ t < 1, and let P t(µ) denote the closure of the analytic polyno- t mials in L (µ). We suppose that D is the set of analytic bounded point evalua- tions for P t(µ), and that P t(µ) contains no nontrivial characteristic functions. It is then known that the restriction of µ to @D must be of the form hjdzj. We prove that every function f 2 P t(µ) has nontangential limits at hjdzj-almost every point of @D, and the resulting boundary function agrees with f as an element of Lt(hjdzj). Our proof combines methods from James E. Thomson's proof of the ex- istence of bounded point evaluations for P t(µ) whenever P t(µ) 6= Lt(µ) with Xavier Tolsa's remarkable recent results on analytic capacity. These methods allow us to refine Thomson's results somewhat. In fact, for a general compactly supported measure ν in the complex plane we are able to describe locations of bounded point evaluations for P t(ν) in terms of the Cauchy transform of an annihilating measure. As a consequence of our result we answer in the affirmative a conjecture of Conway and Yang. We show that for 1 < t < 1 dim M=zM = 1 for every nonzero invariant subspace M of P t(µ) if and only if h 6= 0.

    TRANSFERENCE OF SCALE-INVARIANT ESTIMATES FROM LIPSCHITZ TO NON-TANGENTIALLY ACCESSIBLE TO UNIFORMLY RECTIFIABLE DOMAINS STEVE HOFMANN, JOSE´ MARIA´ MARTELL, AND SVITLANA MAYBORODA Abstract. In relatively nice geometric settings, in particular, on Lipschitz domains, absolute con- tinuity of elliptic measure with respect to the surface measure is equivalent to Carleson measure estimates, to square function estimates, and to ε-approximability, for solutions to the second order divergence form elliptic partial differential equations Lu = div (A u) = 0. In more general situa- tions, notably, in an open set Ω with a uniformly rectifiable boundary,− ∇ absolute continuity of elliptic measure with respect to the surface measure may fail, already for the Laplacian. In the present paper, the authors demonstrate that nonetheless, Carleson measure estimates, square function estimates, and ε-approximability remain valid in such Ω, for solutions of Lu = 0, provided that such solutions enjoy these properties in Lipschitz subdomains of Ω. Moreover, we establish a general real-variable transference principle, from Lipschitz to chord-arc domains, and from chord-arc to open sets with uniformly rectifiable boundary, that is not restricted to harmonic functions or even to solutions of elliptic equations. In particular, this allows one to deduce the first Carleson measure estimates and square function bounds for higher order systems on open sets with uniformly rectifiable boundaries and to treat subsolutions and subharmonic functions.

    1 Carleson measures and elliptic boundary value 2 problems 3 4 Jill Pipher 5 Abstract. In this article, we highlight the role of Carleson measures in elliptic boundary value prob- 6 lems, and discuss some recent results in this theory. The focus here is on the Dirichlet problem, with 7 measurable data, for second order elliptic operators in divergence form. We illustrate, through selected 8 examples, the various ways Carleson measures arise in characterizing those classes of operators for 9 which Dirichlet problems are solvable with classical non-tangential maximal function estimates. 10 Mathematics Subject Classification (2010).

    UNIFORM RECTIFIABILITY, CARLESON MEASURE ESTIMATES, AND APPROXIMATION OF HARMONIC FUNCTIONS STEVE HOFMANN, JOSE´ MARIA´ MARTELL, AND SVITLANA MAYBORODA Abstract. Let E ⊂ Rn+1, n ≥ 2, be a uniformly rectifiable set of dimension n. Then bounded harmonic functions in Ω := Rn+1 n E satisfy Carleson measure estimates, and are “"-approximable”. Our results may be viewed as general- ized versions of the classical F. and M.

  • A Survey on Reverse Carleson Measures
    A SURVEY ON REVERSE CARLESON MEASURES EMMANUEL FRICAIN, ANDREAS HARTMANN, AND WILLIAM T. ROSS ABSTRACT. This is a survey on reverse Carleson measures for various Hilbert spaces of analytic functions. These spaces include the Hardy, Bergman, certain harmonically weighted Dirichlet, Paley-Wiener, Fock, model (backward shift invariant), and de Branges-Rovnyak spaces. The reverse Carleson measure for backward shift invariant subspaces in the non-Hilbert situation is new. 1.

  • Generalized Carleson Perturbations of Elliptic Operators and Applications
    GENERALIZED CARLESON PERTURBATIONS OF ELLIPTIC OPERATORS AND APPLICATIONS JOSEPH FENEUIL AND BRUNO POGGI Abstract. We extend in two directions the notion of perturbations of Carleson type for the Dirichlet problem associated to an elliptic real second-order divergence-form (possibly degenerate, not necessarily symmetric) elliptic operator. First, in addition to the classical perturbations of Carleson type, that we call additive Carleson pertur- bations, we introduce scalar-multiplicative and antisymmetric Carleson perturbations, which both allow non-trivial differences at the boundary. Second, we consider domains which admit an elliptic PDE in a broad sense: we count as examples the 1-sided NTA (a.k.a. uniform) domains satisfying the capacity density condition, the 1-sided chord-arc domains, the domains with low-dimensional Ahlfors-David regular boundaries, and cer- tain domains with mixed-dimensional boundaries; thus our methods provide a unified perspective on the Carleson perturbation theory of elliptic operators. Our proofs do not introduce sawtooth domains or the extrapolation method. We also present several applications to some Dahlberg-Kenig-Pipher operators, free-boundary problems, and we provide a new characterization of A among elliptic measures. ∞ Contents 1.

    PERTURBATIONS OF ELLIPTIC OPERATORS IN 1-SIDED CHORD-ARC DOMAINS. PART I: SMALL AND LARGE PERTURBATION FOR SYMMETRIC OPERATORS JUAN CAVERO, STEVE HOFMANN, AND JOSE´ MAR´IA MARTELL n+1 Abstract. Let Ω ⊂ R , n ≥ 2, be a 1-sided chord-arc domain, that is, a domain which satisfies interior Corkscrew and Harnack Chain conditions (these are respectively scale-invariant/quantitative versions of the openness and path-connectedness), and whose boundary @Ω is n-dimensional Ahlfors regular. Consider L0 and L two real symmetric divergence form elliptic operators and let !L0 , !L be the associated elliptic measures. We n show that if !L 2 A1(σ), where σ = H , and L is a perturbation of L0 (in the sense 0 @Ω that the discrepancy between L0 and L satisfies certain Carleson measure condition), then !L 2 A1(σ). Moreover, if L is a sufficiently small perturbation of L0, then one can pre- serve the reverse H¨olderclasses, that is, if for some 1 < p < 1, one has !L0 2 RHp(σ) p0 then !L 2 RHp(σ). Equivalently, if the Dirichlet problem with data in L (σ) is solvable for L0 then so it is for L. These results can be seen as extensions of the perturbation the- orems obtained by Dahlberg, Fefferman-Kenig-Pipher, and Milakis-Pipher-Toro in more benign settings. As a consequence of our methods we can show that for any perturbation of the Laplacian (or, more in general, of any elliptic symmetric operator with Lipschitz coefficients satisfying certain Carleson condition) if its elliptic measure belongs to A1(σ) then necessarily Ω is in fact an NTA domain (and hence chord-arc) and therefore its boundary is uniformly rectifiable.
