Multilinear Wavelet Compact T(1) Theorem

Anastasios Fragkos, A. Walton Green, Brett D. Wick

TL;DR

This work addresses the problem of characterizing compactness for multilinear Calderón-Zygmund operators via a $T(1)$-type testing framework. The authors develop a two-pronged approach: (i) a multilinear $T(1)$ characterization of compact CZOs using wavelet-based testing and a weak compactness property, and (ii) a sharp representation theorem showing every compact CZO is a finite linear combination of compact wavelet forms and compact paraproduct forms with $\mathrm{CMO}$-symbols. The key contributions include extending compactness testing to the multilinear setting, proving a representation theorem that decomposes compact CZOs into two building blocks, and establishing essential-norm estimates for paraproducts to control compactness at endpoints. The results unify and extend prior linear and multilinear compactness theories, providing a concrete framework to construct all compact CZOs and analyze their adjoints, with potential implications for endpoint estimates and weighted theories.

Abstract

We prove a wavelet $T(1)$ theorem for compactness of multilinear Calderón-Zygmund (CZ) operators. Our approach characterizes compactness in terms of testing conditions and yields a representation theorem for compact CZ forms in terms of wavelet and paraproduct forms that reflect the compact nature of the operator.
