Hardy and BMO spaces associated to divergence form elliptic operators

Abstract

Consider the second order divergence form elliptic operator $L$ with complex bounded coefficients. In general, the operators related to it (such as Riesz transform or square function) lie beyond the scope of the Calderón-Zygmund theory. They need not be bounded in the classical Hardy, BMO and even some $L^p$ spaces. In this work we generalize the classical approach and develop a theory of Hardy and BMO spaces associated to $L$, which includes, in particular, molecular decomposition, maximal function characterization, duality of Hardy and BMO spaces, John-Nirenberg inequality, and allows to handle aforementioned operators.
