An example of a space $L^{p(\cdot)}$ on which the Cauchy-Leray-Fantappiè operator for complex ellipsoid is not bounded

TL;DR
The paper constructs a counterexample demonstrating that the Cauchy-Leray-Fantappi\`e operator on the complex ellipsoid $\mathcal{E}=\{ |z_1|^{2m_1}+\cdots+|z_n|^{2m_n}<1\}$ is not bounded on the variable-exponent Lebesgue space $L^{p(\cdot)}(\partial\mathcal{E})$ when the exponent fails the logarithmic continuity condition. It extends prior unit-ball counterexamples to domains with degenerate boundary geometry by explicitly analyzing the kernel $w(\xi,z)$ and constructing test functions supported near boundary points where strict convexity fails. The authors establish precise kernel estimates on thin boundary patches $W_\alpha$ and $V_\alpha$, showing that the image of these test functions can be forced to grow in a way that defeats $L^{p(\cdot)}$-boundedness. The key technical contribution is a careful, explicit construction of an exponent function $p(\cdot)$ via a modulating function $\psi$, together with a disjoint-patch accumulation of test functions that yields $h\in L^{p(\cdot)}(\partial\mathcal{E})$ but $Kh\notin L^{p(\cdot)}(\partial\mathcal{E})$, thus proving sharpness of the logarithmic continuity condition even for non-uniformly convex domains.
Abstract
We construct an example of a Lebesgue space with variable exponent on which Cauchy-Leray-Fantappiè operator associated with a complex ellipsoid is not bounded. This result extends previous counterexamples for the unit ball and demonstrates that the logarithmic continuity condition for the exponent function $p(\cdot)$ is sharp even for non-strictly convex domains. The proof is based on an explicit construction of test functions supported near points where the boundary fails to be strictly convex.
