TL;DR
The paper extends the Luxemburg representation framework to rearrangement-invariant quasi-Banach function spaces on resonant measure spaces by constructing a representation norm $\|\cdot\|_{\overline{X}}$ with $\|f\|_X = \|f^*\|_{\overline{X}}$, addressing both non-atomic and atomic cases. It develops the fundamental-function/endpoint theory for ri quasi-Banach spaces, introducing weak Marcinkiewicz endpoint spaces $m_{\varphi}$, Lorentz endpoints $\Lambda_{\varphi}$, and their duality with associate spaces, and studies how these interact with Wiener--Luxemburg amalgams. The main technical contribution is Theorem 3 (Representation) and its corollaries, plus a detailed treatment of endpoints (Section 4) and the finite-measure modification (Section 4.2), which together yield a robust framework for embeddings, duality, and optimal target/ domains in this broader setting. By combining measure-preserving representations with amalgam tools, the work opens pathways for applications to Sobolev-type embeddings, operator bounds, and interpolation in the quasi-Banach regime, enabling precise control of local versus global behavior via endpoint and fundamental-function data.
Abstract
This paper explores some important aspects of the theory of rearrangement-invariant quasi-Banach function spaces. We focus on two main topics. Firstly, we prove an analogue of the Luxemburg representation theorem for rearrangement-invariant quasi-Banach function spaces over resonant measure spaces. Secondly, we develop the theory of fundamental functions and endpoint spaces.
