Two examples related to conical energies

In a recent article (2021) we introduced and studied conical energies. We used them to prove three results: a characterization of rectifiable measures, a characterization of sets with big pieces of Lipschitz graphs, and a sufficient condition for boundedness of nice singular integral operators. In this note we give two examples related to sharpness of these results. One of them is due to Joyce and Mörters (2000), the other is new and could be of independent interest as an example of a relatively ugly set containing big pieces of Lipschitz graphs.

Calderón–Zygmund operators on multiparameter Lipschitz spaces of homogeneous type

The purpose of this paper is to establish a necessary and sufficient condition for the boundedness of general product singular integral operators introduced by Han, Li and Lin [Y. Han, J. Li and C.-C. Lin, Criterion of the L 2 L^{2} boundedness and sharp endpoint estimates for singular integral operators on product spaces of homogeneous type, Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa Cl. Sci. (5) 16 2016, 3, 845–907] on the multiparameter Lipschitz spaces of homogeneous type M ~ = M 1 × ⋯ × M n {\tilde{M}=M_{1}\times\cdots\times M_{n}} . Each factor space M i {M_{i}} , 1 ≤ i ≤ n {1\leq i\leq n} , is a space of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman and Weiss. These operators generalize those studied by Journé on the Euclidean space and include operators studied by Nagel and Stein on Carnot–Carathéodory spaces. The main tool used here is the discrete Littlewood–Paley–Stein theory and almost orthogonality together with a density argument for the product Lipschitz spaces in the weak sense.
