چکیده

We discuss three major classes of theorems in additive and extremal com-binatorics: decomposition theorems, approximate structure theorems, and transference principles. We also show how the finite-dimensional Hahn-Banach theorem can be used to give short and transparent proofs of many results of these kinds. Amongst the applications of this method is a much shorter proof of one of the major steps in the proof of Green and Tao that the primes contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. In order to explain the role of this step, we include a brief description of the rest of their argument. A similar proof has been discovered independently by Reingold, Trevisan, Tulsiani and Vadhan [RTTV].

A Note on Umd Spaces and Transference in Vector-valued Function Spaces

Abstract. A Banach space X is called an HT space if the Hilbert transform is bounded from L(X) into L(X), where 1 < p < ∞. We introduce the notion of an ACF Banach space, that is, a Banach space X for which we have an abstract M. Riesz Theorem for conjugate functions in L(X), 1 < p < ∞. Berkson, Gillespie, and Muhly [5] showed that X ∈ HT =⇒ X ∈ ACF. In this note, we will show that X ∈ ACF =⇒ X...

A Variation Norm Carleson Theorem

By a standard approximation argument it follows that S[f ] may be meaningfully defined as a continuous function in ξ for almost every x whenever f ∈ L and the a priori bound of the theorem continues to hold for such functions. Theorem 1.1 is intimately related to almost everywhere convergence of partial Fourier sums for functions in L[0, 1]. Via a transference principle [12], it is indeed equiv...

Transference of Multilinear Operators

We introduce the notion of transference (k + 1)-tuples of strongly continuous mappings defined on an amenable group G. We use these tuples to transfer boundedness properties of multilinear operators from products of Lebesgue spaces into Lp and weak Lp. 0. Introduction and statement of results Fix an integer k ≥ 2. Let G be an amenable group and (M,dμ) a measure space. For 0 ≤ j ≤ k, let 0 < pj ...

L Bounds for a Maximal Dyadic Sum Operator

The authors prove L bounds in the range 1 < p < ∞ for a maximal dyadic sum operator on R. This maximal operator provides a discrete multidimensional model of Carleson’s operator. Its boundedness is obtained by a simple twist of the proof of Carleson’s theorem given by Lacey and Thiele [6] adapted in higher dimensions [8]. In dimension one, the L boundedness of this maximal dyadic sum implies in...
