TL;DR
This work extends weighted norm inequalities to multilinear rough singular integrals with rough kernels by introducing a dyadic/Littlewood–Paley decomposition of the kernel and separating low- and high-frequency components. For the low-frequency part, standard multilinear Calderón–Zygmund theory with vector weights $A_{\vec{p}/q'}$ yields the desired bounds; the high-frequency part requires a novel sharp maximal bound that grows only polynomially in the frequency index, enabling summability through a multilinear Stein-type interpolation. The main result shows that, for $1<p_j<\infty$, $\frac{1}{m}<p<\infty$, $1<q\le\infty$, with $q'\le p_j$ and $\vec{w}\in A_{\vec{p}/q'}$, one has $\|\mathcal{L}_{\Omega}(f_1,\dots,f_m)\|_{L^{p}(v_{\vec{w}})} \lesssim \|\Omega\|_{L^q} \prod_j \|f_j\|_{L^{p_j}(w_j)}$. The analysis leverages maximal-function techniques, structural properties of multiple weights, and a complex interpolation framework adapted to multilinear operators with weights. The results advance the weighted theory for multilinear rough operators and provide quantitative bounds via $\|\Omega\|_{L^q}$ and the multiple-weight constants, with potential applications to further multilinear harmonic analysis problems.
Abstract
We establish weighted norm inequalities for a class of multilinear singular integral operators with rough kernels. Specifically, we consider the multilinear singular integral operator $\mathcal{L}_Ω$ associated with an integrable function $Ω$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{mn-1}$ satisfying the vanishing mean condition. Extending the classical results of Watson and Duoandikoetxea to the multilinear setting, we prove that $\mathcal{L}_Ω$ is bounded from $L^{p_1}(w_1)\times\cdots\times L^{p_m}(w_m)$ to $L^p(v_{\vec{\boldsymbol{w}}})$ under the assumption that $Ω\in L^q(\mathbb{S}^{mn-1})$ and that the $m$ tuple of weights $\vec{\boldsymbol{w}}= (w_1,\ldots,w_m)$ lies in the multiple weight class $A_{\vec{\boldsymbol{p}}/q'}((\mathbb{R}^n)^m)$. Here, $q'$ denotes the Hölder conjugate of $q$, and we assume $q'\le p_1,\dots,p_m<\infty$ with $1/p = 1/p_1 + \cdots + 1/p_m$.
