How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Marcinkiewicz interpolation from weak (1,1) and strong (∞,∞)

Statement

Let (X,A,μ) be a measure space, let T be a sublinear operator on measurable functions, and suppose:

  1. T is of weak type (1,1) with constant A;
  2. T is of strong type (∞,∞) with constant B.

Then for every 1<p<∞ and every f∈Lp(μ), ∥Tf∥p≤2(App−1)1/pB1−1/p∥f∥p. In particular, T is of strong type (p,p) for every 1<p<∞.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A measure space (X,A,μ), a sublinear operator T, constants A,B≥0, an exponent 1<p<∞, and a function f∈Lp(μ).

[L1]

Sublinearity, weak type (1,1), and strong type (∞,∞) are as defined in Sublinear operators and weak or strong type (p,q) bounds.

[L2]

The distribution function of a measurable function g is Ag(t)=μ({∣g∣>t}). (The distribution function of absolute value)

[L3]

For 0<p<∞, ∫∣g∣p dμ=p∫0∞tp−1μ({∣g∣>t}) dt for every measurable g. (For 0 < p < infinity, the layer-cake formula computes the integral of |f|^p from the distribution function)

[L4]

For nonnegative measurable v, the set function λ(E)=∫Ev dμ is a measure, and ∫h dλ=∫hv dμ for nonnegative measurable h. (The indefinite integral of a nonnegative measurable function is a measure, Integrating against a density agrees with integrating the product)

Proof

technique · direct
1.1L1givenconstructalgebra

Fix t>0 and η>0, and put C:=B+η>0. Since the strong [L1, given, construct, algebra] (∞,∞) bound with constant B also holds with the larger constant C, split f=ft>+ft≤,ft>:=f 1{∣f∣>t/(2C)},ft≤:=f 1{∣f∣≤t/(2C)}. Sublinearity gives ∣Tf∣≤∣Tft>∣+∣Tft≤∣. Since ∥ft≤∥∞≤t/(2C), the strong (∞,∞) bound with constant C yields ∣Tft≤∣≤C∥ft≤∥∞≤t/2. Therefore {∣Tf∣>t}⊆{∣Tft>∣>t/2}.

2.1L1step 1.1algebra

On {∣f∣>t/(2C)} one has ∣f∣≤(2C/t)p−1∣f∣p, so ft>∈L1 because f∈Lp. Apply the weak (1,1) bound: [L1, step 1.1, algebra] μ({∣Tf∣>t})≤μ({∣Tft>∣>t/2})≤2At∥ft>∥1=2At∫{∣f∣>t/(2C)}∣f∣ dμ.

3.1L2L3step 2.1algebra

Using [L3] with g=Tf and then step 2.1, [L2, L3, step 2.1, algebra] ∥Tf∥pp=p∫0∞tp−1μ({∣Tf∣>t}) dt≤2Ap∫0∞tp−2(∫{∣f∣>t/(2C)}∣f∣ dμ)dt.

4.1L3L4step 3.1algebra

Define the positive measure λ(E)=∫E∣f∣ dμ by [L4]. Apply [L3] with exponent p−1>0, function ∣f∣, and measure λ; then substitute t=2Cu in the one-dimensional nonnegative integral from step 3.1. This gives ∫0∞tp−2λ({∣f∣>t/(2C)}) dt=(2C)p−1p−1∫X∣f∣p−1 dλ. By [L4], the last integral is ∫X∣f∣p dμ. Hence ∥Tf∥pp≤2pApp−1Cp−1∫X∣f∣p dμ. This uses no sigma-finiteness assumption on μ.

5.1step 4.1algebra∎

Taking pth roots in step 4.1 gives [step 4.1, algebra] ∥Tf∥p≤2(App−1)1/pC1−1/p∥f∥p. Because η>0 was arbitrary, letting η↓0 yields ∥Tf∥p≤2(App−1)1/pB1−1/p∥f∥p. Thus T is of strong type (p,p) for every 1<p<∞.
