Extensions of the vector-valued Hausdorff-Young inequalities

Abstract

In this paper we study the vector-valued analogues of several inequalities for the Fourier transform. In particular, we consider the inequalities of Hausdorff--Young, Hardy--Littlewood, Paley, Pitt, Bochkarev and Zygmund. The Pitt inequalities include the Hausdorff--Young and Hardy--Littlewood inequalities and state that the Fourier transform is bounded from $L^p({\mathbb{R}}^d,|\cdot {|}^{\beta p})$ into $L^q({\mathbb{R}}^d,|\cdot {|}^{-\gamma q})$ under certain condition on $p,q,\beta$ and $\gamma$. Vector-valued analogues are derived under geometric conditions on the underlying Banach space such as Fourier type and related geometric properties. Similar results are derived for ${\mathbb{T}}^d$ and ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$ by a transference argument. We prove sharpness of our results by providing elementary examples on ${\ell }^p$-spaces. Moreover, connections with Rademacher (co)type are discussed as well.
