Hardy spaces and heat kernel regularity

Abstract

In this paper, we show the equivalence between the boundedness of the Riesz transform $d{\Delta }^{-1/2}$ on $L^p$, $p\in (2,p_0)$, and the equality $H^p=L^p$, $p\in (2,p_0)$, in the class of manifold whose measure is doubling and for which the scaled Poincaré inequalities hold. Here, $H^p$ is a Hardy space of exact $1-$forms, naturally associated with the Riesz transform.
