Extrapolation for bilinear compact operators in the variable exponent setting

TL;DR
The paper develops a comprehensive extrapolation framework for compactness of bilinear operators on weighted variable-exponent Lebesgue spaces. It combines an abstract diagonal/off-diagonal extrapolation principle with the Cobos–Fernández-Cabrera–Martínez interpolation theorem, supported by a factorization theory for multilinear variable-exponent weights and Lions–Peetre interpolation. The authors then apply these methods to derive new compactness results for commutators of bilinear ω-Calderón–Zygmund operators, bilinear fractional integrals, and bilinear Fourier multipliers in the variable-exponent weighted setting, unifying prior works. This advances the understanding of compactness in the multilinear, variable-exponent, weighted landscape and expands the toolkit for proving refined regularity properties in harmonic analysis.
Abstract
We establish extrapolation of compactness for bilinear operators in the scale of weighted variable exponent Lebesgue spaces. First, we prove an abstract principle relying on the Cobos-Fernández-Cabrera-Martínez theorem. Then, as an application we deduce new compactness results for the commutators of bilinear $ω$-Calderón-Zygmund operators, bilinear fractional integrals and bilinear Fourier multipliers acting on weighted variable exponent Lebesgue spaces. Our work extends and unifies among others earlier works of the second named author together with Hytönen as well as Oikari.
