Weakly canceling operators and singular integrals

Abstract

We suggest an elementary Harmonic Analysis approach to canceling and weakly canceling differential operators, which allows to extend these notions to anisotropic setting and also replace differential operators with Fourier multiplies with mild smoothness regularity. In this more general setting of anisotropic Fourier multipliers, we prove the inequality $\Vert f{\Vert }_{L_{\infty }}\lesssim \Vert Af{\Vert }_{L_1}$ if $A$ is a weakly canceling operator of order $d$ and the inequality $\Vert f{\Vert }_{L_2}\lesssim \Vert Af{\Vert }_{L_1}$ if $A$ is a canceling operator of order $\frac{d}{2}$, provided $f$ is a function in $d$ variables.
