AL-HASAN AND DASHAN FAN 1 0 ABSTRACT.Letb(t)beanL function on R, Ω( y )beanH1 function on the unit sphere satisfying the mean zero property (1) and Qm(t) be a real polynomial on R of degree m satisfying Qm(0) = 0. We prove that the singular integral operator Zn Ð n 0 TQ Òb( f )(x)=pv b(jyj)Ω(y)jyj f xQm(jyj)y dy m R is bounded in Lp(Rn)for1ÚpÚ1, and the bound is independent of the coef®cients of Qm(t). Let Sn1 be the unit sphere in Rn, n ½ 2, with normalized Lebesgue measure dõ = dõ(x0).LetΩ(x) be a homogeneous function of degree zero, with Ω 2 L1(Sn1)and Z (1) Ω(x0)dõ(x0)=0Ò Sn1 where x0 = xÛjxj for any x 6=0. Suppose b(t)isanL1(R) function. In this paper we investigate the Lp boundedness of the singular integral operator Z Á 0 (2) TQ Òb( f )(x)=pv K(y)f xQm(jyj)y dy m Rn P 0 Ûj j2 n1 j jΩ j jn m å k where y = y y S ,K(y)=b(y) (y)y and Qm(t)= k=1 kt is real. The study of such kind of operators has a long history. Readers can see [5] for more detailed background. In particular, the following theorem can be found in [5]. Ω 2 THEOREM A. Let TQmÒb be the singular integral operator de®ned in (2). If H1(Sn1) satis®es (1), then this operator is bounded in L2(Rn). The proof of Theorem A is based on the Plancherel theorem, so that the authors in [5] were only able to obtain the L2 boundedness. The main purpose of this note is to extend Theorem A to the following Lp boundedness theorem. Ú Ú THEOREM 1.

A SINGULAR INTEGRAL OPERATOR 405 where C is a constant independent of Ω, f and the coef®cients of Qm. The proof of Theorem 1 is based on a lemma in [4] by Fan and Pan (see Lemma 3 below). Throughout this paper, the letter C will denote a positive constant that may vary at each occurrence but is independent of the essential variables. To prove Theorem 1, we recall the de®nition of Hardy spaces on the unit sphere, as well as some lemmas. The Poisson kernel on Sn1 is de®ned by 0 2 0 0 n Pry0 (x )=(1r )Ûjry x j where 0 Ä r Ú 1andx0Òy0 2Sn1. For any Ω 2 L1(Sn1), we de®ne the radial maximal function P+Ω(x0)by þZ þ + 0 þ 0 0 0 þ P Ω(x)= supþ Ω(y)P 0 ( y ) dõ( y )þ n1 rx 0ÄrÚ1 S k +Ωk Ú1 Ω 1 n1 1 If P L1(Sn1) , we say that belongs to the Hardy space H (S ) with H -norm kΩk k +Ωk H1(Sn1) = P L1(Sn1). The space H1(Sn1) was studied in [1] (see also [2]). In particular, it is known that L1(Sn1) Ã H1(Sn1) Ã L Log+ L(Sn1) Ã Lq(Sn1) for any q Ù 1. Another important property of H1(Sn1) is the atomic decomposition, which will be reviewed below. 1 An exceptional atom is an L function E(x) satisfying kEk1 Ä 1. An 1-atom is an L1 function a() that satis®es (4) supp(a) ²fx0 2Sn1Òjx0 x0jÚöfor some x0 2 Sn1 and öÙ0g; Z 0 0 (5) a(ò0) dõ(ò0)=0Ò Sn1 (n1) (6) kak1 Äö Ω 2 1 n1 FromP [1] or [2], we ®nd that any H (S ) has an atomic decompositionP Ω = ïjaj,wheretheaj's are either exceptional atoms or 1-atoms and jïjjÄ kΩk Ω 2 1 n1 C H1(Sn1). In particular, if H (S ) has the mean zero property (1) then all the atoms aj in the atomic decomposition can be chosen to be 1-atoms. LEMMA 1[VAN DER CORPUT [8]].
