Abstract

In this paper, we provide a direct and constructive proof of weak factorization of h1 (ℝ×ℝ) (the predual of little BMO space bmo(ℝ×ℝ) studied by Cotlar-Sadosky and Ferguson-Sadosky), i.e., for every f Є h1 (ℝ×ℝ) there exist sequences {αkj} Є l and functions gjk, hkj Є L2 (ℝ2 ) such that [Equation Unavailable] in the sense of h1 (ℝ×ℝ), where H1 and H2 are the Hilbert transforms on the first and second variable, respectively. Moreover, the norm ║fh1║(ℝ×ℝ) is given in terms of ║gjk║ L2(ℝ2) and ║hkj║ L2(ℝ2). By duality, this directly implies a lower bound on the norm of the commutator [b, H1 H2 ] in terms of ║b║bmo(ℝ×ℝ). Our method bypasses the use of analyticity and the Fourier transform, and hence can be extended to the higher dimension case in an arbitrary n-parameter setting for the Riesz transforms.
