On the $L^p$-estimates for Beurling-Ahlfors and Riesz transforms on Riemannian manifolds

Abstract

In our previous papers \cite{Li2008, Li2011}, we proved some martingale transform representation formulas for the Riesz transforms and the Beurling-Ahlfors transforms on complete Riemannian manifolds, and proved some explicit $L^p$-norm estimates for these operators on complete Riemannian manifolds with suitable curvature conditions. In this paper we correct a gap contained in \cite{Li2008, Li2011} and prove that the $L^p$-norm of the Riesz transforms $R_a(L)=\nabla (a-L{)}^{-1/2}$ can be explicitly bounded by $C(p^{\ast }-1{)}^{3/2}$ if $Ric+{\nabla }^2\varphi \ge -a$ for $a\ge 0$, and the $L^p$-norm of the Riesz transform $R_0(L)=\nabla (-L{)}^{-1/2}$ is bounded by $2(p^{\ast }-1)$ if $Ric+{\nabla }^2\varphi =0$. We also prove that the $L^p$-norm estimates for the Beurling-Ahlfors transforms obtained in \cite{Li2011} remain valid. Moreover, we prove the time reversal martingale transform representation formulas for the Riesz transforms and the Beurling-Ahlfors transforms on complete Riemannian manifolds.
