We study some basic properties of weak Orlicz spaces and their applications to harmonic analysis.We first discuss the absolute continuity of the quasi-norm and its normality,then prove the boundedness of several maximal operators.We also establish a kind of Marcinkiewicz-type interpolation theorem between weak Orlicz spaces.As applications,the weak type analogues of several classical inequalities in harmonic analysis is obtained.
Abstract Let x = （xn）n≥1 be a martingale on a noncommutative probability space （М,τ） and （Wn）n≥1 a sequence of positive numbers such that Wn =∑^n_k=1 wk→∞ as n→∞. We prove that x = （Xn）n≥1 converges bilaterally almost uniformly （b.a.u.） if and only if the weighted average （σan（x））n≥1 of x converges b.a.u, to the same limit under some condition, where σn（x） is given by σn（x）=1/Wn ^n∑_k=1 wkxk,n=1,2,… Furthermore, we prove that x = （xn）n≥1 converges in Lp（М） if and only if （σ＇n（x））n≥1 converges in Lp（М）, where 1 ≤p 〈 ∞ .We also get a criterion of uniform integrability for a family in L1（М）.
The generalized maximal operator .44 in martingale spaces is considered. For 1 〈 p ≤ q 〈 ∞, the authors give a necessary and sufficient condition on the pair （μ, v） for M to be a bounded operator from martingale space L^P（μ） into L^q（μ） or weak-L^q（μ）, where μ is a measure on Ω × N and v a weight on Ω. Moreover, the similar inequalities for usual maximal operator are discussed.
Under appropriate conditions on Young's functions Φ1 and Φ2,we give necessary and sufficient conditions in order that weighted integral inequalities hold for Doob's maximal operator M on martingale Orlicz setting.When Φ1 = tp and Φ2 = tq,the inequalities revert to the ones of strong or weak(p,q)-type on martingale space.
Let x （xn）≥1 be a martingale on a noncommutative probability space n （M, r） and （wn）n≥1 a sequence of positive numbers such that Wn = ∑ k=1^n wk →∞ as n →∞ We prove that x = （x.）n≥1 converges in E（M） if and only if （σn（x）n≥1 converges in E（.hd）, where E（A//） is a noncommutative rearrangement invariant Banach function space with the Fatou property and σn（x） is given by σn（x） = 1/Wn ∑k=1^n wkxk, n=1, 2, .If in addition, E（Ad） has absolutely continuous norm, then, （an（x））≥1 converges in E（.M） if and only if x = （Xn）n≥1 is uniformly integrable and its limit in measure topology x∞∈ E（M）.
Let B be a Banach space, φ1, φ2 be two generalized convex φ-functions and φ1, φ2 the Young complementary functions of ψ1, ψ2 respectively with∫t t0ψ2（s）/sds≤ds≤c0ψ1（c0t）（t〉t0）for some constants co 〉 0 and to 〉 0, where ψ1 and ψ2 are the left-continuous derivative functions of ψ1 and ψ2, respectively. We claim that： （i） If B is isomorphic to a p-uniformly smooth space （or q-uniformly convex space, respectively）, then there exists a constant c 〉 0 such that for any B-valued martingale f = （fn）n≥0,｜｜f^＊｜｜φ1≤｜｜S^（p）（f）｜｜φ2（of｜｜S^（q）（f）｜｜φ1≤c｜｜f^＊｜｜φ2,respectively）,where f^＊ and S^（p） （f） are the maximal function and the p-variation function of f respectively; （ii） If B is a UMD space, Tvf is the martingale transform of f with respect to v = （Vn）z≥0 （V^＊ 〈 1）, then ｜｜（Tvf）^＊｜｜Ф1≤f^＊｜｜Ф2.
