The Calderón–Zygmund Theorem with an $$L^1$$ Mean Hörmander Condition

In 2019, Grafakos and Stockdale introduced an $$L^q$$ L q mean Hörmander condition and proved a “limited-range” Calderón–Zygmund theorem. Comparing their theorem with the classical one, it requires weaker assumptions and implies the $$L^p$$ L p boundedness for the “limited-range” instead of $$1< p < \infty $$ 1 < p < ∞ . However, in this paper, we show that the $$L^q$$ L q mean Hörmander condition is actually enough to obtain the $$L^p$$ L p boundedness for all $$1< p < \infty $$ 1 < p < ∞ even in the worst case $$q=1$$ q = 1 . We use a similar method to that used by Fefferman (Acta Math 124:9–36, 1970): form the Calderón–Zygmund decomposition with the bounded overlap property and approximate the bad part. Also we give a criterion of the $$L^2$$ L 2 boundedness for convolution type singular integral operators under the $$L^1$$ L 1 mean Hörmander condition.

Liouville results for fully nonlinear equations modeled on Hörmander vector fields: I. The Heisenberg group

This paper studies Liouville properties for viscosity sub- and supersolutions of fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic PDEs, under the main assumption that the operator has a family of generalized subunit vector fields that satisfy the Hörmander condition. A general set of sufficient conditions is given such that all subsolutions bounded above are constant; it includes the existence of a supersolution out of a big ball, that explodes at infinity. Therefore for a large class of operators the problem is reduced to finding such a Lyapunov-like function. This is done here for the vector fields that generate the Heisenberg group, giving explicit conditions on the sign and size of the first and zero-th order terms in the equation. The optimality of the conditions is shown via several examples. A sequel of this paper applies the methods to other Carnot groups and to Grushin geometries.

Higher order asymptotics for large deviations — Part II

We obtain asymptotic expansions for the large deviation principle (LDP) for continuous time stochastic processes with weakly-dependent increments. As a key example, we show that additive functionals of solutions of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) satisfying Hörmander condition on a [Formula: see text]-dimensional compact manifold admit these asymptotic expansions of all orders.

A second-order discretization for degenerate systems of stochastic differential equations

The paper proposes a new second-order weak approximation scheme for hypoelliptic diffusions or degenerate systems of stochastic differential equations satisfying a certain Hörmander condition. The scheme is constructed by a Gaussian process and a stochastic polynomial weight through a technique based on Malliavin calculus, and is implemented by a Monte Carlo method and a quasi-Monte Carlo method. A variance analysis for the Monte Carlo method is discussed, and further control variate methods are introduced to reduce the variance. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is illustrated through numerical experiments for some hypoelliptic diffusions.

Commutators and rough kernels without zero homogeneous condition

In this paper, we consider the commutator [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is defined by the convolution type Calderón–Zygmund operators satisfying the weak boundedness condition and Hörmander condition, we prove its continuity by using wavelets, decomposition of compensated quantity by wavelets and commutators on orthogonal project operator.
