APM A Class of Singular Integral Operators Associated to Surfaces of Revolution* Muliang Cao1, Huoxiong Wu2# 1Guangzhou Branch of Institute of Electronic Technology, PLA Information Engineering University, Guangzhou, China 2School of Mathematical Sciences, Xiamen University, Fujian, China E-mail: ml_cao@163.com, #huoxwu@xmu.edu.cn Received July 19, 2011; revised August 10, 2011; accepted August 20, 2011 Abstract In this paper, the authors establish the Lp-mapping properties of a class of singular integral operators along surfaces of revolution with rough kernels. The size condition on the kernels is optimal and much weaker than that for the classical Calderon-Zygmund singular integral operators. Keywords: Singular Integrals, Surface of Revolution, Maximal Operator, Rough Kernel 1. Introduction and Main Results Let , , be the n-dimensional Euclidean space and be the unit sphere in equipped with the normalized Lebesgue measure Let n R n S 2n 1n R dd . ,; n yy yR n be the surface of revolution generated by a suitable function . For nonzero points :0, R R, we denote '. xx Let be a homogeneous function of degree zero on and satisfy n 1 1 LS n R 1d n Syy 0, (1.1) Suppose that is a radial measurable function.

Operators of the type (1.2) have been studied quite extensively (see [1-13] and therein numerous references). We refer the readers to see Stein-Wainger’s report [14, 15] for more background information. In 1996, Kim, Wainger, Wright and Ziesler proved the following result. Theorem A [10]. Let be convex, in- creasing and 20,C 00 . Suppose that 1n CS n R is a homogeneous function of degree zero on and sat- isfies (1.1). Then ,1 T is bounded on 1pn LR for 1p . By a minor modification of the proof in Theorem A, one can show that the conclusion of Theorem A remains valid if the condition is replaced by the condition 1n CS 1qn LS for some (see [16, pp. 372-373], as well as [6]). Subsequently, this result was improved and extended by many authors (see [1,2,5,6, 11,12] et al.). In particular, in 2001, Lu, Pan and Yang gave the general theorem as follows. 1 R q Theorem B [11]. Let be a continu- ously differentiable on :0, 0, and satisfy 0tCt for some and small , where is a constant independent of . Suppose that t C t 11n HS and 0,hL . Then ,h T is bounded on 1pn LR for 1, provided that the maximal operator p defined by 1 2 2 1 p 2 j j j ,s j u , d rs f r tst t is bounded on 2p LR for 1.p hL Actually, the condition can be weak- ened to the case: 0, 1 0 0 {; s hsups hR sh d}, 1tt with 11 12,1p2min (see [9]), and the size condition on in Theorem B is the best one, so far, *The project was supported by the NSF of China (G11071200) and the SF of Fujian Province of China (No. 2010J01013).

Theorem 1. Let be a suitable func- tion, which ensures that the integral in (1.2) exists in principle-value sense when, say, (the Schwartz function class on ).

In Theorem 1, if t is continuously differentiable on and satisfy 0, 0tCt for some and small , where is a constant independent of , in particular, if , then the integral in (1.2) exists in principle-value sense when, say, t C t 1n 10,1tC f (the Schwartz function class on ) (see [11]). 1n R 2 Remark 1. The boundedness of p LR is known for many t ’s. A few prominent examples are as follows: 1) If t is a real-valued polynomial, then is bounded on for , see [16, p. 477] or [15]. 2p LR tt 1p 2) If with 0,1 , then is bounded on for , see [13]. 2p LR 1 tC 1p 3) If such that 0,1 00 0 0t and is a convex increasing function for , t is bounded on for , see [13], see [7, Corollary 5.3]. 2p LR 1p 4) Let If .btt tt 20,1tC , t is convex on with , and there exists an 0, 0 000 so that for each 0,t ,bt bt t then is bounded on 2p LR for , see [4, Theorem 1.5]. In particular, if 1p t is ether even or odd and there exists a so that for each 0C 0,t 2t ,Ct then is bounded on for , see [3] or [4]. 2p LR 1p In order to obtain Theorem 1, we let , S be the op- erator defined by 1 ,1 1/ 2 2 1 0 , d :',d n n n S Sfxx r yfxryxyy r . Clearly, if 21 ,hLRrdr , then 21 ,1 , , ,, hn n LRr dr TfxxhS fxx 1 . Therefore Theorem 1 can be deduced immediately from the next theorem. Theorem 2. Let and be as in Theorem 1. Then 1) 21 21 ,. n nLR LR Sf Cf 2) 1 1 ,, pn pn LR LR Sf Cf 2p , provided that the maximal operator in (1.3) is bounded on 2p LR for 1. p Remark 2. By the similar arguments as in [1], we re- mark that the condition is op- timal. Precisely, there exists an lies in for all 1/2 1 log n LLS 1 log n LLS 12 and satisfies (1.1) such that , S is unbounded on . And it is worth pointing out that the size condition is much weaker than that for the classical Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operators. 1pn LR This paper is organize as follows. In Section 2 we will give the proofs of our theorems. An extension of our main results will be given in Section 3. We would like to remark that the main ideas in the proofs of our results are taken from [7,9,17]. Throughout this paper, we always use letter to denote positive constants that may vary at each occur- rence but are independent of the essential variables. C 2. Proofs of Main Results Let us begin with a lemma, which will play a key role in the proofs of our main results. Lemma 2.1. Let and satisfy (1.1).

Further Results In this section, we will extend the definition of T ,h to higher dimensional cases.
