Calderón-type commutators and chamber lifting
in the Dunkl setting
May 25, 2026
We study Calderón-type commutators associated with the rational Dunkl structure attached to a finite reflection group. More precisely, for \(i,j=1,\ldots,N\), we consider \([M_b,T_i\mathcal{R}_j],\) where \(M_b\) is multiplication by \(b\), \(T_i\) is the \(i\)-th Dunkl operator, and \(\mathcal{R}_j\) is the \(j\)-th Dunkl Riesz transform. If \(b\) belongs to the orbit Lipschitz class \(\operatorname{Lip}_d\), then for every \(1<p<\infty\) we prove the full-space estimate \[\|[M_b,T_i\mathcal{R}_j]f\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)} \le C_p\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\|f\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}.\] No \(G\)-invariance is imposed on the input function \(f\).
The orbit Lipschitz condition is the natural replacement of the Euclidean Lipschitz condition in this problem. Indeed, the singularity of the singular kernels involved here is governed by the orbit diagonal \[d(x,y)=\min_{\sigma\in G}\|x-\sigma y\|=0,\] rather than only by the ordinary diagonal \(x=y\), and the commutator factorc\(b(x)-b(y)\) must vanish along this orbit diagonal. Thus \(b\in\operatorname{Lip}_d\) is not merely a technical assumption: it encodes the cancellation dictated by the reflected singularities.
The main approach here is a chamber lifting. If \(\mathcal{C}\) is a closed Weyl chamber and \(G=\{\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_{|G|}\}\), we write \[Uf(x)=\big(f(\sigma_1x),\ldots,f(\sigma_{|G|}x)\big), \qquad x\in\mathcal{C}.\] This identifies \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\) with \(L^p(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^p_{|G|})\). Under this lifting, the orbit singularity becomes the ordinary diagonal on \(\mathcal{C}\), while the non-\(G\)-invariant information is retained as a finite-dimensional reflected fibre. The resulting operator is a finite matrix singular integral on the chamber. We construct it through heat-scale regularizations, prove component \(T1\)-type testing estimates for chamber indicators, and then obtain the \(L^p\)-bounds by applying scalar Calderón–Zygmund theory to finitely many lifted entries.
Calderón-type commutators are among the first and most influential examples of non-convolution singular integrals. In his 1965 paper [1], Calderón introduced the operator \[C_1 f(x)=\frac{1}{\pi}\,\operatorname{p.v.} \int_{\mathbb{R}}\frac{a(x)-a(y)}{(x-y)^2}f(y)\,dy,\] which may be viewed formally as the commutator of multiplication by a Lipschitz coefficient with \(\frac{d}{dx}H\), where \(H\) is the Hilbert transform. The point of replacing \(\frac{d}{dx}\) by \(\frac{d}{dx}H=|D|\) is already visible from the elementary Leibniz rule: for a differential operator, boundedness of \([D,M_a]\) is exactly the Lipschitz regularity of \(a\). Calderón’s theorem showed that this principle persists for a genuinely singular, non-local operator. This was not a routine multiplier argument. The factor \(a(x)-a(y)\) destroys translation invariance, and the proof used complex function theory, a bilinear analytic representation, and area-integral estimates. More concretely, Calderón reduced the relevant bilinear form to a Hardy space estimate for a bilinear expression of the form \[B(F,G)(x)= i\int_0^\infty F'(x+iy)G(x+iy)\,dy,\] which may be regarded as an early predecessor of the paraproduct point of view. The equivalence between Hardy space norms and area integrals was then a central part of the argument. Thus the commutator was, from the beginning, a model problem in which singular integrals with rough coefficients, cancellation, and real-variable structure meet.
The David–Journé \(T1\) theorem [2] later gave a real-variable criterion for such nonconvolution operators. In that framework, \(L^2\)-boundedness is reduced to kernel estimates, weak boundedness, and the testing conditions \(T1,T^*1\in\operatorname{BMO}\). For Calderón’s commutator, the relevant cancellation can be identified by integration by parts: formally \(C_1(1)=H(a')\), which is in BMO when \(a'\in L^\infty\). This viewpoint explains why the Calderón commutator became a standard test object for Calderón–Zygmund theory beyond convolution kernels. Calderón also treated higher-dimensional Calderón-type commutators associated with homogeneous singular kernels, including model operators such as \(\partial_jR_k\). Subsequent work developed these ideas in multilinear, endpoint, BMO, and geometric directions; see for example [3]–[10], and the references therein.
The present paper studies an analogue of this question in the rational Dunkl setting. The classical Fourier transform, initially defined on \(L^1(\mathbb{R}^N)\), extends canonically to an isometry on \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^N)\) and is compatible with translations, dilations and rotations. In order to study analysis attached to finite reflection groups, Dunkl introduced in [11], [12] a family of differential-difference operators and the corresponding Dunkl transform. Let \(R\subset\mathbb{R}^N\) be a normalized root system, let \(G\) be the finite reflection group generated by the reflections associated with \(R\), and let \(\kappa:R\to[0,\infty)\) be a nonnegative \(G\)-invariant multiplicity function. The associated objects include the Dunkl operators \(T_\xi\), the Dunkl Laplacian \(\Delta=\sum_{j=1}^N T_j^2,\) the measure \(d\omega\), the Dunkl transform, and the orbit distance \(d(x,y):=\min_{\sigma\in G}\|x-\sigma y\|.\)
The Dunkl transform plays the role of the Fourier transform and diagonalizes \(\Delta\), while the distance \(d\) records the singular geometry of \(G\)-orbits. The general theory of Dunkl transforms, intertwining operators, and radial translation formulas was developed in [13]–[18]. On this basis, a substantial harmonic-analysis theory has been built, including Riesz transforms, multipliers, Hardy spaces, Littlewood–Paley operators, variation and oscillation operators, and commutators; see for example [19]–[27] and the references therein. The works [28], [29] are particularly close to the function-space and singular-integral aspects relevant here.
The sharp \(L^p\)-bounds for Dunkl area integrals in [30], obtained by the third and fifth authors together with other collaborators, are also conceptually close to the present work. In that paper, the estimates are organized in part through a chamber-wise analysis of the reflection geometry. The same chamber-wise viewpoint is used here, but the present commutator problem is more delicate. It requires a genuine \(T1\)-type construction, component testing for discontinuous chamber indicators, and finite-dimensional matrix kernels on a fixed chamber. In particular, the \(L^2\)-boundedness is not inherited from a square-function identity; it has to be built from testing.
The main new point of the present paper is that we do not reduce the problem to \(G\)-invariant functions and we do not pass to the quotient \(\mathbb{R}^N/G\). Instead, we keep all reflected values of the input function and use a finite-dimensional chamber lifting.
Many classical objects in Dunkl analysis retain a transform or convolution structure. The Dunkl Riesz transform \(\mathcal{R}_j=-T_j(-\Delta)^{-1/2},\;j=1,\ldots,N,\;\) is such an example. However, the Calderón-type commutator \([M_b,T_i\mathcal{R}_j]\), with \(M_bf=bf\), does not retain a convolution structure.
The natural coefficient class in this problem is the orbit Lipschitz space \(\operatorname{Lip}_d(\mathbb{R}^N)\), equipped with the seminorm \[\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}:= \sup_{d(x,y)>0}\frac{|b(x)-b(y)|}{d(x,y)}.\] This choice is dictated by the singular geometry of the operators under consideration. In the classical Calderón commutator, the factor \(a(x)-a(y)\) compensates one order of the singularity on the ordinary diagonal \(x=y\). In the rational Dunkl setting, the heat kernel itself is controlled by the orbit Gaussian, and after applying Dunkl derivatives one also obtains reflected heat-kernel terms such as \(h_t(\sigma_\alpha x,y)\). Thus the relevant off-diagonal geometry is governed by \[d(x,y)=\min_{\sigma\in G}\|x-\sigma y\|,\] and the commutator factor has to provide cancellation along the orbit diagonal \(d(x,y)=0\), not only along \(x=y\).
A merely Euclidean Lipschitz coefficient does not provide this cancellation. If \(b\) is not \(G\)-invariant, then \(b(x)-b(\sigma x)\) need not vanish near a reflected diagonal. The condition \(b\in\operatorname{Lip}_d\) gives exactly the required orbit cancellation, \[|b(x)-b(y)|\le \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}d(x,y).\] It implies \(b(\sigma x)=b(x)\) for every \(\sigma\in G\), and also implies the ordinary Euclidean Lipschitz estimate because \(d(x,y)\le \|x-y\|\). Conversely, if \(b\) is \(G\)-invariant and Euclidean Lipschitz with constant \(\operatorname{Lip}_{\rm Euc}(b)\), then \[|b(x)-b(y)| = |b(x)-b(\sigma y)| \le \operatorname{Lip}_{\rm Euc}(b)\|x-\sigma y\|\] for every \(\sigma\in G\), and taking the infimum over \(\sigma\) gives the orbit Lipschitz estimate. Thus \(\operatorname{Lip}_d\) is not an auxiliary symmetry assumption inserted for the proof; it is the Lipschitz class naturally adapted to the orbit singularity.
This should not be confused with a reduction to \(G\)-invariant inputs. The symbol is orbit-invariant because the reflected singularities must be cancelled, but the input function is arbitrary. Moreover, multiplication by \(b\) is not diagonalized by the Dunkl transform unless \(b\) is constant, so the commutator remains a genuine non-convolution singular integral on the full space. This distinction creates a second difficulty: many effective tools in Dunkl analysis are adapted to \(G\)-invariant functions or to scalar objects on the orbit space, whereas here such a reduction is unavailable. The full reflected fibre has to be retained, and this is exactly why the chamber lifting below leads to finite matrix kernels rather than to a single scalar kernel on the quotient.
There are two concrete analytic manifestations of the preceding obstruction. First, the Dunkl transform diagonalizes \(T_i\mathcal{R}_j\), but it does not diagonalize multiplication by \(b\), so it does not yield the boundedness of \([M_b,T_i\mathcal{R}_j]\). Second, the kernel geometry is more delicate than in the Euclidean case. The heat kernel is organized by the orbit distance \(d\), while the identities for \(T_{i,x}T_{j,x}h_t(x,y)\) contain Euclidean coefficients and reflected heat-kernel terms. In particular, the principal part contains coefficients of the form \[\frac{(y_i-x_i)(y_j-x_j)}{t^2},\] whereas the natural off-diagonal decay is measured by \(d(x,y)^2/t\). Since \(d(x,y)\) and \(\|x-y\|\) are not uniformly comparable, one needs heat-kernel bounds with an additional Euclidean decay factor to absorb these coefficients. At the same time, the factor \(b(x)-b(y)\) must contribute a power of the orbit distance \(d(x,y)\), which is then absorbed by the orbit-Gaussian decay in the scale estimates. This is exactly where the orbit Lipschitz condition enters the analysis; a Euclidean Lipschitz bound alone would not give the required cancellation near reflected diagonals.
The main idea of the paper is to keep all reflected values instead of identifying them. Fix a closed fundamental Weyl chamber \(\mathcal{C}\), enumerate \(G=\{\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_{|G|}\}\), and set \[Uf(x)=\big(f(\sigma_1x),\ldots,f(\sigma_{|G|}x)\big), \qquad x\in\mathcal{C}.\] The map \(U\) identifies \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\) with \(L^p(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^p_{|G|})\). The elementary but crucial chamber identity \[d(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y)=\|x-y\|, \qquad x,y\in\mathcal{C},\] shows that all orbit singularities become the ordinary diagonal \(x=y\) on the chamber. At the same time, the values of a general, non-invariant input function on the reflected chambers are retained as finitely many matrix coordinates. This is the point at which the present argument departs from the invariant theory and from quotient-based formulations.
This method has a price. The full-space operator must first be constructed at the heat scale; it cannot simply be declared as a principal-value singular integral. Chamber indicators are discontinuous across reflection walls, so the \(T1\)-testing on the lifted space becomes a family of component testing problems for the functions \[\chi_\tau={\boldsymbol{1}}_{\sigma_\tau\mathcal{C}}.\] These tests require heat-scale chamber cutoffs and estimates near the union of reflection hyperplanes. After the lifting, one must also compare the original volume normalization \[V(x,y,r):=\max\{\omega(B(x,r)),\omega(B(y,r))\}\] with the chamber normalization \(V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,r) :=\max\{\omega(B(x,r)\cap\mathcal{C}),\omega(B(y,r)\cap\mathcal{C})\}.\) Thus the chamber construction is not a cosmetic reformulation: it is the mechanism that turns an orbit-singular full-space problem into a finite matrix Calderón–Zygmund problem on an ordinary chamber diagonal.
For \(0<\varepsilon<R<\infty\), define the regularized commutator kernels by \[\label{eq:truncated-commutator-intro} \begin{align} C_{\varepsilon,R}^{ij,b}f(x) := c\int_{\varepsilon}^{R} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} \big(b(x)-b(y)\big)T_{i,x}T_{j,x}h_t(x,y)f(y)\,d\omega(y) \frac{dt}{\sqrt t}, \end{align}\tag{1}\] where \(c\) is a fixed normalization constant. The main theorem is as follows.
Theorem 1. Let \(\kappa:R\to[0,\infty)\) be a nonnegative \(G\)-invariant multiplicity function, and let \(b\in\operatorname{Lip}_d(\mathbb{R}^N)\). Then, for every \(i,j=1,\ldots,N\), the operators \(C_{\varepsilon,R}^{ij,b}\) converge weakly on \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\) as \(\varepsilon\to0, \; R\to\infty.\) Denote the weak limit by \[[M_b,T_i\mathcal{R}_j].\] Then, for every \(1<p<\infty\), \([M_b,T_i\mathcal{R}_j]\) extends boundedly on \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\), and \[\|[M_b,T_i\mathcal{R}_j]f\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)} \le C_p\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\|f\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}.\] The constant \(C_p\) depends only on \(p\) and the Dunkl data.
The weak convergence in the theorem is meant in the two-parameter weak-operator sense: for each \(f,g\in L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\), the scalar quantity \(\langle C_{\varepsilon,R}^{ij,b}f,g\rangle_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}\) has a limit independent of the way in which \(\varepsilon\downarrow0\) and \(R\uparrow\infty\). Thus \([M_b,T_i\mathcal{R}_j]\) denotes the operator obtained from 1 by this limiting procedure.
The proof of Theorem 1 is organized via three quantitative statements stated below. They are the structural pieces of the proof, and each isolates one of the difficulties described above. The first one supplies the estimates for both the heat-scale kernels and the integrated commutator kernel.
Proposition 2. Let \(b\in\operatorname{Lip}_d(\mathbb{R}^N)\) and \(\theta_s(x,y):=s\big(b(x)-b(y)\big)T_{i,x}T_{j,x}h_{s^2}(x,y).\) Then \[|\theta_s(x,y)| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(x,y)^2}{s^2}\right).\] Moreover, if \(\|x-x'\|\le s\), then \[\begin{align} |\theta_s(x,y)-\theta_s(x',y)| &\le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{\|x-x'\|}{s} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(x,y)^2}{s^2}\right), \end{align}\] and the analogous estimate holds in the second variable. For \(d(x,y)>0\), \[K_b^{ij}(x,y) := c\big(b(x)-b(y)\big)\int_0^\infty T_{i,x}T_{j,x}h_t(x,y)\,\frac{dt}{\sqrt t}\] is absolutely convergent and satisfies \[|K_b^{ij}(x,y)| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{1}{V\big(x,y,d(x,y)\big)}.\] If \(\|x-x'\|\le d(x,y)/4\), then \[\begin{align} |K_b^{ij}(x,y)-K_b^{ij}(x',y)| &\le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{\|x-x'\|}{d(x,y)} \frac{1}{V\big(x,y,d(x,y)\big)}, \end{align}\] and the analogous estimate holds in the second variable.
The second structural statement is the component testing estimate. Let \(\Omega_\tau:=\sigma_\tau\mathcal{C}\) and \(\chi_\tau={\boldsymbol{1}}_{\Omega_\tau}\). In the lifted chamber space these are the coordinate constants. The estimates below are the replacement for the \(T1\) and \(T^*1\) conditions in the continuous-scale construction.
Proposition 3. Let \(\Theta_s\) be the integral operator with kernel \(\theta_s\). For every \(\tau\), \[|\Theta_s\chi_\tau(x)|^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} \quad\text{and}\quad |\Theta_s^*\chi_\tau(x)|^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s}\] are Carleson measures on \(\mathbb{R}^N\times(0,\infty)\), with respect to Euclidean balls in \(\mathbb{R}^N\), and their Carleson norms are bounded by \(C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}^2\). Define \(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s:=U\Theta_sU^{-1}.\) Then the operators \[\int_a^B \boldsymbol{\Theta}_s\,\frac{ds}{s}\] converge weakly on \(L^2(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^2_{|G|})\) as \(a\downarrow0\) and \(B\uparrow\infty\), and the weak limit has norm bounded by \(C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\). Under the change of variables \(t=s^2\), this gives the weak \(L^2\)-limit of the operators in 1 .
The third statement explains how the \(L^2\) operator constructed through the scale method is converted into an \(L^p\) operator. The passage is entrywise: no vector-valued Calderón–Zygmund theorem is used.
Proposition 4. Let \(\mathbb{T}_b^{ij}=U[M_b,T_i\mathcal{R}_j]U^{-1}.\) For \(x,y\in\mathcal{C}\) and \(1\le\rho,\tau\le |G|\), define \[\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y) :=K_b^{ij}(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y).\] Then each scalar entry of \(\mathbb{T}_b^{ij}\) is associated, in the separated-support sense on \(\mathcal{C}\), with the corresponding kernel \(\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}\). Moreover, \[|\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y)| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{1}{V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,\|x-y\|)},\] and, if \(\|x-x'\|\le \|x-y\|/4\), \[\begin{align} &|\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y)-\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x',y)| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{\|x-x'\|}{\|x-y\|} \frac{1}{V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,\|x-y\|)}. \end{align}\] The analogous estimate holds in the second variable. Then \(\mathbb{T}_b^{ij}\) is bounded on \(L^p(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^p_{|G|})\) for every \(1<p<\infty\), with norm bounded by \(C_p\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\).
Proof strategy. The argument starts from the heat representation of \(T_i\mathcal{R}_j\). The Dunkl identities for \(T_{i,x}T_{j,x}h_t(x,y)\), together with the heat-kernel estimate quoted in Section 2.4, give scale estimates for \(\theta_s\) and the integrated kernel \(K_b^{ij}\). The operator is then constructed before the final singular integral is used: the scale family is tested on the chamber indicators \(\chi_\tau\), and the resulting Carleson estimates feed into a continuous \(T1\) construction on the lifted chamber space. The chamber lifting keeps all reflected values of a general input function as finitely many coordinates, so the full-space problem becomes a finite matrix problem on \(\mathcal{C}\). After the weak \(L^2\) limit is obtained, we identify its associated kernel on separated supports. Each lifted entry is then an ordinary scalar Calderón–Zygmund operator on the chamber. Applying the scalar \(L^p\) theory entry by entry and summing over the finite matrix indices gives the desired full-space \(L^p\) estimate. Thus the proof proceeds in the order \[\begin{align} &\text{heat-kernel estimates} \Rightarrow \text{scale kernels} \Rightarrow \text{component testing} \\ &\Rightarrow L^2\text{ construction} \Rightarrow \text{separated-support kernel identity} \Rightarrow L^p\text{ closure}. \end{align}\]
The real-variable input functions used below are standard but are kept separate. The heat-kernel estimates are used to build the scale kernels and the final associated kernels. The continuous \(T1\) criterion is used to construct the lifted \(L^2\) operator from the component testing. The scalar Calderón–Zygmund theorem on the chamber is used after the associated kernel of the weak \(L^2\) limit has been identified.
This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 collects the Dunkl notation, orbit and chamber geometry, approximation of \(\operatorname{Lip}_d\) symbols, the heat-kernel estimate, and the regularized operators. Section 3 proves the estimates for \(T_{i,x}T_{j,x}h_t\), the scale kernels, and the integrated kernel. Section 4 proves the wall-layer estimates, the component testing estimates, and the weak \(L^2\)-construction after chamber lifting. Section 5 identifies the associated kernel of the limit and proves the \(L^p\) bounds by entrywise scalar Calderón–Zygmund theory.
Let \(R\subset\mathbb{R}^N\) be a normalized root system and let \(G\) be the finite reflection group generated by \(R\). Throughout the paper, \[\kappa:R\to[0,\infty)\] is a nonnegative \(G\)-invariant multiplicity function. We use the convention \[\label{eq:dunkl-operator} T_\xi f(x)=\partial_\xi f(x)+\sum_{\alpha\in R}\frac{\kappa(\alpha)}{2} \langle\alpha,\xi\rangle\frac{f(x)-f(\sigma_\alpha x)}{\langle\alpha,x\rangle}.\tag{2}\] Equivalently, one may sum over a positive subsystem \(R_+\). The associated Dunkl measure is \[\label{eq:dunkl-measure} d\omega(x)=w(x)\,dx, \qquad w(x)=\prod_{\alpha\in R}|\langle x,\alpha\rangle|^{\kappa(\alpha)}.\tag{3}\] We write \[\mathbf{N}:=N+\sum_{\alpha\in R}\kappa(\alpha)\] for the homogeneous dimension. The Dunkl Laplacian is \[\Delta=\sum_{j=1}^N T_j^2,\] and \(H_t=e^{t\Delta}\) denotes the heat semigroup with kernel \(h_t(x,y)\). Unless otherwise specified, the orbit distance is the full \(G\)-orbit distance \[\label{eq:orbit-distance} d(x,y)=d_G(x,y):=\min_{\sigma\in G}\|x-\sigma y\|.\tag{4}\] For \(r>0\), set \[\label{eq:V-volume} V(x,y,r):=\max\{\omega(B(x,r)),\omega(B(y,r))\},\tag{5}\] and \[\label{eq:orbit-ball} \mathcal{O}(B(x,r)):=\{y:d(x,y)<r\}=\bigcup_{\sigma\in G}B(\sigma x,r).\tag{6}\]
We recall several fundamental facts regarding the orbit geometry and volume estimates. See for example [19]–[27].
Lemma 1. The function \(d\) is \(G\)-invariant in both variables, satisfies the triangle inequality, and obeys \(d(x,y)\le\|x-y\|\).
We shall repeatedly use \[\label{eq:dunkl-volume-formula} \omega(B(x,r))\approx r^N\prod_{\alpha\in R} \big(|\langle x,\alpha\rangle|+r\big)^{\kappa(\alpha)}.\tag{7}\]
Lemma 2. For \(0<r\le R\), \[\label{eq:doubling} \omega(B(x,R))\le C\left(\frac{R}{r}\right)^{\mathbf{N}}\omega(B(x,r)),\tag{8}\] and \[\label{eq:reverse-doubling} \omega(B(x,R))\ge c\left(\frac{R}{r}\right)^N\omega(B(x,r)).\tag{9}\]
Lemma 3. For every \(x\in\mathbb{R}^N\) and \(r>0\), \(\omega(\mathcal{O}(B(x,r)))\approx \omega(B(x,r)).\)
Lemma 4. If \(r=d(x,y)>0\), then \(\omega(B(x,r))\approx\omega(B(y,r)),\; V(x,y,r)\approx\omega(B(x,r))\approx\omega(B(y,r)).\)
Lemma 5. For every \(\sigma,\tau\in G\), \(\omega(B(\sigma x,r))=\omega(B(x,r)),\; V(\sigma x,\tau y,r)=V(x,y,r).\)
Let \(\mathcal{C}\) be a fixed closed fundamental Weyl chamber. Enumerate \[G=\{\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_{|G|}\},\qquad \sigma_1=\mathrm{Id},\] and write \(\Omega_\rho:=\sigma_\rho\mathcal{C}\).
Lemma 6. For \(\alpha\in R\), let \(\alpha^\perp:=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^N:\langle x,\alpha\rangle=0\}\) be the reflecting hyperplane associated with \(\alpha\). Let \(\mathcal{W}:=\bigcup_{\alpha\in R}\alpha^\perp\). Then \(\omega(\mathcal{W})=0\).
Proof. Each \(\alpha^\perp\) is an affine linear hyperplane through the origin and has Lebesgue measure zero. The set \(\mathcal{W}\) is a finite union of such hyperplanes, hence is also Lebesgue null. Since \(d\omega=w\,dx\) and the weight is locally integrable for \(\kappa\ge0\), every Lebesgue null set is \(\omega\)-null. Thus \(\omega(\mathcal{W})=0\). The possible overlaps of distinct closed chambers are contained in \(\mathcal{W}\), so the chamber decomposition is disjoint after removing an \(\omega\)-null set. ◻
Lemma 7. If \(x,y\in\mathcal{C}\), then \(d(x,y)=\|x-y\|.\) Consequently, \(d(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y)=\|x-y\|, \;x,y\in\mathcal{C}.\)
Proof. We prove first that the representative of an orbit which lies in the closed chamber is closest to every point of the same chamber. It is enough to show that, for every \(\sigma\in G\), \[\|x-y\|\le \|\sigma x-y\|, \qquad x,y\in\mathcal{C}.\] We use the usual successive-reflection argument, and we record the elementary distance computation because it is the point at which the chamber geometry enters. Suppose that \(z\) and \(y\in\mathcal{C}\) lie on opposite sides of the wall \(\alpha^\perp\), so that \(\langle z,\alpha\rangle\le0, \; \langle y,\alpha\rangle\ge0.\) Since \[\sigma_\alpha z =z-2\frac{\langle z,\alpha\rangle}{\|\alpha\|^2}\alpha,\] a direct computation gives \[\begin{align} \|\sigma_\alpha z-y\|^2-\|z-y\|^2 &=-2\left\langle 2\frac{\langle z,\alpha\rangle}{\|\alpha\|^2}\alpha, z-y \right\rangle + 4\frac{\langle z,\alpha\rangle^2}{\|\alpha\|^2} =4\frac{\langle z,\alpha\rangle\langle y,\alpha\rangle}{\|\alpha\|^2} \le0. \end{align}\] Thus reflecting \(z\) across a wall toward the chamber does not increase its distance to \(y\). Starting with \(z=\sigma x\), choose a finite sequence of simple reflections which moves \(z\) back into the closed chamber. This is possible because the Weyl chambers are fundamental domains for the action of \(G\). At each step the distance to \(y\) does not increase. The final point is the unique chamber representative of the orbit of \(x\), namely \(x\), up to the boundary where the assertion is unchanged by continuity. Therefore \(\|x-y\|\le \|\sigma x-y\|, \;\forall \sigma\in G.\) Taking the minimum over \(\sigma\) gives \(d(x,y)=\|x-y\|\).
For the reflected identity, use the invariance of the orbit distance in both variables: \[\begin{align} d(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y) &=d(x,\sigma_\rho^{-1}\sigma_\tau y). \end{align}\] Since both \(x\) and \(y\) lie in \(\mathcal{C}\), the first part of the proof applied to the orbit of \(y\) gives \[d(x,\sigma_\rho^{-1}\sigma_\tau y)=d(x,y)=\|x-y\|.\] This proves the lemma. ◻
For \(x\in\mathcal{C}\), set \(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,r)=B(x,r)\cap\mathcal{C}\) and \(V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,r)=\max\{\omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,r)),\omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(y,r))\}.\)
Lemma 8. For every \(x\in\mathcal{C}\) and \(r>0\), \(\omega(B(x,r))\approx \omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,r)).\) Consequently, \[V(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y,r)\approx V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,r),\] uniformly in \(\rho,\tau\). In particular \((\mathcal{C},\|\cdot\|,d\omega|_\mathcal{C})\) is a space of homogeneous type.
Proof. The inequality \(\omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,r))\le \omega(B(x,r))\) follows from the inclusion \(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,r)\subset B(x,r)\). We prove the reverse inequality. Since chamber boundaries are \(\omega\)-null, we may decompose \(B(x,r)\) into its intersections with the chambers \(\sigma\mathcal{C}\), up to a null set. For each \(\sigma\in G\), the invariance of \(d\omega\) gives \[\omega(B(x,r)\cap\sigma\mathcal{C}) = \omega(B(\sigma^{-1}x,r)\cap\mathcal{C}).\] We claim that \[B(\sigma^{-1}x,r)\cap\mathcal{C} \subset B(x,r)\cap\mathcal{C}.\] Indeed, if \(y\in B(\sigma^{-1}x,r)\cap\mathcal{C}\), then \(\|\sigma^{-1}x-y\|<r.\) By Lemma 7, the chamber representative \(x\) is no farther from \(y\) than any other representative of its orbit; therefore \(\|x-y\|\le \|\sigma^{-1}x-y\|<r.\) This proves the claimed inclusion. Summing over the finitely many chambers, we obtain \[\begin{align} \omega(B(x,r)) &=\sum_{\sigma\in G}\omega(B(x,r)\cap\sigma\mathcal{C}) \le |G|\,\omega(B(x,r)\cap\mathcal{C}) =|G|\,\omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,r)). \end{align}\] Thus \(\omega(B(x,r))\approx\omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,r))\).
Now let \(x,y\in\mathcal{C}\). By reflection invariance of the measure, \[\omega(B(\sigma_\rho x,r))=\omega(B(x,r)), \qquad \omega(B(\sigma_\tau y,r))=\omega(B(y,r)).\] Using the comparison just proved for \(x\) and \(y\), we get \[\begin{align} V(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y,r) &=\max\{\omega(B(x,r)),\omega(B(y,r))\} \approx \max\{\omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,r)),\omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(y,r))\} =V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,r), \end{align}\] with constants independent of \(\rho,\tau\). Finally, \[\omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,2r)) \approx \omega(B(x,2r)) \lesssim \omega(B(x,r)) \approx \omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,r)),\] so \((\mathcal{C},\|\cdot\|,d\omega|_\mathcal{C})\) is a space of homogeneous type. ◻
Lemma 9. If \(b\in\operatorname{Lip}_d(\mathbb{R}^N)\), then \(b(\sigma x)=b(x)\) for every \(\sigma\in G\), and \(|b(x)-b(y)|\le\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\|x-y\|\).
Proof. For any \(\sigma\in G\), the two points \(x\) and \(\sigma x\) lie on the same orbit, hence \(d(x,\sigma x)=0.\) The orbit-Lipschitz condition gives \(|b(x)-b(\sigma x)|\le \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}d(x,\sigma x)=0,\) so \(b(\sigma x)=b(x)\). The Euclidean Lipschitz estimate is obtained by using the identity element in the orbit-distance minimum: \[d(x,y)=\min_{\tau\in G}\|x-\tau y\|\le\|x-y\|.\] Therefore \(|b(x)-b(y)|\le \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}d(x,y) \le \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\|x-y\|.\) The proof is complete. ◻
Lemma 10. Let \(b\in\operatorname{Lip}_d(\mathbb{R}^N)\). There exist \(b_\varepsilon\in C^\infty(\mathbb{R}^N)\) such that \(b_\varepsilon\) is \(G\)-invariant, \[\|b_\varepsilon\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\le\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d},\qquad \|\nabla b_\varepsilon\|_\infty\le\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d},\] and \(b_\varepsilon\to b\) locally uniformly.
Proof. Take \(b_\varepsilon=b*\varphi_\varepsilon\) with a radial mollifier. Radiality preserves \(G\)-invariance, and the Euclidean Lipschitz bound gives \(\|\nabla b_\varepsilon\|_\infty\le\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\). Since \(b_\varepsilon\) is \(G\)-invariant, \[|b_\varepsilon(x)-b_\varepsilon(y)|=|b_\varepsilon(x)-b_\varepsilon(\sigma y)| \le\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\|x-\sigma y\|.\] Taking the infimum over \(\sigma\in G\) gives the \(\operatorname{Lip}_d\) bound. ◻
Lemma 11. If \(b\in C^1(\mathbb{R}^N)\) is \(G\)-invariant, then \(T_j(bf)=(\partial_jb)f+bT_jf.\)
Proof. Using the definition of \(T_j\), \[\begin{align} T_j(bf)(x) &=\partial_j(bf)(x) + \sum_{\alpha\in R}\frac{\kappa(\alpha)}{2}\alpha_j \frac{b(x)f(x)-b(\sigma_\alpha x)f(\sigma_\alpha x)}{\langle\alpha,x\rangle}. \end{align}\] Since \(b\) is \(G\)-invariant, \(b(\sigma_\alpha x)=b(x)\). Thus the difference part factors as \[b(x) \sum_{\alpha\in R}\frac{\kappa(\alpha)}{2}\alpha_j \frac{f(x)-f(\sigma_\alpha x)}{\langle\alpha,x\rangle}.\] The ordinary derivative contributes \(\partial_j(bf)=(\partial_jb)f+b\partial_jf.\) Combining the derivative term with the factored difference part gives \[T_j(bf)=(\partial_jb)f+bT_jf.\] The summands with \(\kappa(\alpha)=0\) are present only notationally and vanish. ◻
We record the heat-kernel estimates in the form in which they are used below. A point which is easy to miss is that the proof of the second derivative bound requires a slightly stronger scalar estimate than the bare orbit-Gaussian upper bound. The commonly used estimate \[|h_t(x,y)| \lesssim V(x,y,\sqrt t)^{-1} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(x,y)^2}{t}\right)\] will not by itself control the Euclidean coefficient which appears after one more Dunkl differentiation. We therefore use the refined heat-kernel estimates of Dziubański and Hejna [31]. In particular, their estimate gives the additional Euclidean decay factor \[\left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{\sqrt t}\right)^{-2},\] together with the corresponding heat-scale difference estimate in the second variable. The first-variable difference estimate used below follows from the symmetry of the heat kernel. We also use their first Dunkl derivative identity [31], which is consistent with the standard explicit formula for the Dunkl heat kernel.
Lemma 12. There exist constants \(C,c>0\) such that \[\label{eq:buffered-size-nonnegative} |h_t(x,y)|\le C\frac{1}{V(x,y,\sqrt t)} \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{\sqrt t}\right)^{-2} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(x,y)^2}{t}\right).\tag{10}\] Moreover, if \(\|y-y'\|\le\sqrt t\), then \[\label{eq:buffered-yreg-nonnegative} \begin{align} |h_t(x,y)-h_t(x,y')| &\le C\frac{\|y-y'\|}{\sqrt t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,\sqrt t)} \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{\sqrt t}\right)^{-2} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(x,y)^2}{t}\right). \end{align}\tag{11}\] If \(\|x-x'\|\le\sqrt t\), then \[\label{eq:buffered-xreg-nonnegative} \begin{align} |h_t(x,y)-h_t(x',y)| &\le C\frac{\|x-x'\|}{\sqrt t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,\sqrt t)} \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{\sqrt t}\right)^{-2} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(x,y)^2}{t}\right). \end{align}\tag{12}\]
For \(i,j=1,\ldots,N\), set \[\label{eq:Aij-kernel} A_t^{ij}(x,y):=T_{i,x}T_{j,x}h_t(x,y).\tag{13}\] Define \[\label{eq:truncated-commutator} \begin{align} C_{\varepsilon,R}^{ij,b}f(x) :=c\int_{\varepsilon}^{R}\int_{\mathbb{R}^N} (b(x)-b(y))A_t^{ij}(x,y)f(y)\,d\omega(y)\frac{dt}{\sqrt t}. \end{align}\tag{14}\] The limiting operator constructed from 14 is written \([M_b,T_i\mathcal{R}_j]\).
Remark 5. All fixed signs and dimensional constants coming from \(\mathcal{R}_j=-T_j(-\Delta)^{-1/2}\) and the representation \[(-\Delta)^{-1/2}=c\int_0^\infty H_t\,\frac{dt}{\sqrt t}\] are absorbed into \(c\). If \(t=s^2\), then \(dt/\sqrt t=2\,ds\). With \(\theta_s(x,y):=s(b(x)-b(y))A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y),\) one has \[(b(x)-b(y))A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y)\frac{dt}{\sqrt t} =2\theta_s(x,y)\frac{ds}{s}.\]
Throughout this section fix \(i,j\in\{1,\ldots,N\}\). We write \[A_t^{ij}(x,y)=T_{i,x}T_{j,x}h_t(x,y).\] The estimates proved here are used at two different stages of the argument. First, after multiplication by the difference \(b(x)-b(y)\), they give the scale estimates for \(\Theta_s\) needed in the \(L^2\)-construction. Later, a separate integration in \(t\) gives the Calderón–Zygmund bounds for the final kernel. We keep these two uses separate in the proof.
Lemma 13. For every \(j\), \[\label{eq:first-derivative-identity} T_{j,x}h_t(x,y)=\frac{y_j-x_j}{2t}h_t(x,y).\tag{15}\]
Lemma 14. For every \(\ell\), \[\label{eq:first-dunkl-derivative-heat} |T_{\ell,x}h_t(x,y)|\le C t^{-1/2}V(x,y,\sqrt t)^{-1} e^{-cd(x,y)^2/t}.\tag{16}\] Equivalently, \[\label{eq:first-dunkl-derivative-heat-scale} |sT_{\ell,x}h_{s^2}(x,y)|\le C V(x,y,s)^{-1}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}.\tag{17}\]
Proof. By Lemma 13, \[|T_{\ell,x}h_t(x,y)| \le \frac{\|x-y\|}{2t}|h_t(x,y)|.\] Applying Lemma 12 gives \[\begin{align} |T_{\ell,x}h_t(x,y)| &\lesssim \frac{\|x-y\|}{t} \frac{1}{V(x,y,\sqrt t)} \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{\sqrt t}\right)^{-2} e^{-cd(x,y)^2/t}\\ &= \frac{1}{\sqrt t} \left(\frac{\|x-y\|}{\sqrt t}\right) \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{\sqrt t}\right)^{-2} \frac{1}{V(x,y,\sqrt t)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/t}. \end{align}\] The function \(u(1+u)^{-2}\) is bounded on \([0,\infty)\). This proves 16 . Setting \(t=s^2\) and multiplying by \(s\) gives 17 . ◻
Lemma 15. For every \(i,j\), \[\label{eq:second-heat-structure} \begin{align} T_{i,x}T_{j,x}h_t(x,y) &=\frac{(y_i-x_i)(y_j-x_j)}{4t^2}h_t(x,y)-\frac{\delta_{ij}}{2t}h_t(x,y) -\frac{1}{t}\sum_{\alpha\in R}\frac{\kappa(\alpha)}{2} \frac{\alpha_i\alpha_j}{\|\alpha\|^2}h_t(\sigma_\alpha x,y). \end{align}\tag{18}\]
Proof. Set \[a_j(x,y,t)=\frac{y_j-x_j}{2t}.\] Lemma 13 gives \(T_{j,x}h_t(x,y)=a_j(x,y,t)h_t(x,y),\) hence \[T_{i,x}T_{j,x}h_t(x,y)=T_i(a_jh_t)(x).\] Expanding the Dunkl operator, we obtain \[\begin{align} T_i(a_jh_t)(x) &=\partial_i(a_jh_t)(x) + \sum_{\alpha\in R}\frac{\kappa(\alpha)}{2}\alpha_i \frac{a_j(x)h_t(x,y)-a_j(\sigma_\alpha x)h_t(\sigma_\alpha x,y)}{\langle\alpha,x\rangle}. \end{align}\] We insert and subtract the term \(a_j(x)h_t(\sigma_\alpha x,y)\) in the numerator. The part involving \(h_t(x,y)-h_t(\sigma_\alpha x,y)\), together with the ordinary derivative term \(a_j(x)\partial_i h_t(x,y)\), reconstructs \(a_j(x)T_{i,x}h_t(x,y)\). Thus \[\begin{align} T_i(a_jh_t)(x) &=(\partial_i a_j)(x)h_t(x,y)+a_j(x)T_{i,x}h_t(x,y)+ \sum_{\alpha\in R}\frac{\kappa(\alpha)}{2}\alpha_i \frac{a_j(x)-a_j(\sigma_\alpha x)}{\langle\alpha,x\rangle} h_t(\sigma_\alpha x,y). \end{align}\] The first two factors are \[\partial_i a_j=-\frac{\delta_{ij}}{2t}, \qquad T_{i,x}h_t(x,y)=\frac{y_i-x_i}{2t}h_t(x,y).\] For the reflected coefficient we use \[\sigma_\alpha x=x-2\frac{\langle x,\alpha\rangle}{\|\alpha\|^2}\alpha.\] Then \[\begin{align} a_j(x,y,t)-a_j(\sigma_\alpha x,y,t) &=\frac{y_j-x_j}{2t}-\frac{y_j-(\sigma_\alpha x)_j}{2t} =\frac{(\sigma_\alpha x)_j-x_j}{2t} =-\frac{\langle x,\alpha\rangle}{t}\frac{\alpha_j}{\|\alpha\|^2}. \end{align}\] Therefore \[\frac{a_j(x,y,t)-a_j(\sigma_\alpha x,y,t)}{\langle\alpha,x\rangle} =-\frac{\alpha_j}{t\|\alpha\|^2}.\] Substituting these identities gives the formula. The summands corresponding to roots with \(\kappa(\alpha)=0\) vanish identically. ◻
Remark 6. Formula 18 is written with the all-root normalization in 2 . If one sums only over a positive subsystem \(R_+\), the coefficient \(\kappa(\alpha)/2\) is replaced by \(\kappa(\alpha)\), and the same reflected term is obtained. The sign is fixed by \[(\sigma_\alpha x)_j-x_j =-2\frac{\langle x,\alpha\rangle}{\|\alpha\|^2}\alpha_j, \qquad \frac{a_j(x,y,t)-a_j(\sigma_\alpha x,y,t)}{\langle\alpha,x\rangle} =-\frac{\alpha_j}{t\|\alpha\|^2}.\] Although the computation is first written away from the reflecting hyperplanes, the displayed quotient is constant and hence extends continuously across \(\alpha^\perp\). Thus 18 is an identity of smooth kernels after removable extension, not merely an almost-everywhere formula off the walls.
Proposition 7. There exist \(C,c>0\) such that \[\label{eq:second-heat-size} |A_t^{ij}(x,y)|\le C t^{-1}V(x,y,\sqrt t)^{-1}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/t}.\qquad{(1)}\] If \(\|x-x'\|\le\sqrt t\), then \[\label{eq:second-heat-x-regularity} |A_t^{ij}(x,y)-A_t^{ij}(x',y)| \le C\frac{\|x-x'\|}{\sqrt t}t^{-1}V(x,y,\sqrt t)^{-1}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/t}.\qquad{(2)}\] If \(\|y-y'\|\le\sqrt t\), then \[\label{eq:second-heat-y-regularity} |A_t^{ij}(x,y)-A_t^{ij}(x,y')| \le C\frac{\|y-y'\|}{\sqrt t}t^{-1}V(x,y,\sqrt t)^{-1}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/t}.\qquad{(3)}\]
Proof. Put \(s=\sqrt t\). We use the formula of Lemma 15. Thus \(A_t^{ij}(x,y)\) is the sum of \[\frac{(y_i-x_i)(y_j-x_j)}{4t^2}h_t(x,y), \qquad -\frac{\delta_{ij}}{2t}h_t(x,y),\] and the finitely many reflected terms \[-\frac{1}{t} \frac{\kappa(\alpha)}{2} \frac{\alpha_i\alpha_j}{\|\alpha\|^2} h_t(\sigma_\alpha x,y), \qquad \alpha\in R.\] We estimate these terms separately. For the first term, this factored heat-kernel bound gives \[\begin{align} \frac{|y_i-x_i|\,|y_j-x_j|}{t^2}|h_t(x,y)| &\lesssim \frac{\|x-y\|^2}{t^2} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{s}\right)^{-2} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(x,y)^2}{s^2}\right) \\ &= \frac{1}{t} \left(\frac{\|x-y\|}{s}\right)^2 \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{s}\right)^{-2} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(x,y)^2}{s^2}\right) \\ &\lesssim \frac{1}{t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(x,y)^2}{s^2}\right). \end{align}\] This is the only place where the Euclidean decay factor is needed. For the scalar term one simply writes \[\frac{1}{t} |h_t(x,y)| \le \frac{C}{t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{s}\right)^{-2} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(x,y)^2}{s^2}\right) \le \frac{C}{t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(x,y)^2}{s^2}\right).\] For a reflected term with \(\kappa(\alpha)>0\), the reflection \(\sigma_\alpha\) belongs to \(G\), and therefore \[d(\sigma_\alpha x,y)=d(x,y), \qquad V(\sigma_\alpha x,y,s)=V(x,y,s).\] Applying the scalar heat estimate at the point \((\sigma_\alpha x,y)\), and then again discarding its Euclidean decay factor, gives \[\frac{1}{t} |h_t(\sigma_\alpha x,y)| \le \frac{C}{t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(x,y)^2}{s^2}\right).\] The coefficients of the reflected terms are fixed constants depending only on \(R\) and \(\kappa\), and the root system is finite. Summing the preceding bounds proves the size estimate.
We next prove the regularity in the first variable. Let \(\delta=\|x-x'\|\le s\). The scalar term satisfies \[\begin{align} \frac{1}{t} |h_t(x,y)-h_t(x',y)| &\le C\frac{\delta}{s}\frac{1}{t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{s}\right)^{-2} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(x,y)^2}{s^2}\right) \\ &\le C\frac{\delta}{s}\frac{1}{t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(x,y)^2}{s^2}\right). \end{align}\] For each reflected term we use \(\|\sigma_\alpha x-\sigma_\alpha x'\|=\delta,\) together with the invariance \(d(\sigma_\alpha x,y)=d(x,y)\) and \(V(\sigma_\alpha x,y,s)=V(x,y,s).\) The heat-kernel regularity estimate applied to \(h_t(\sigma_\alpha x,y)-h_t(\sigma_\alpha x',y)\) gives \[\begin{align} \frac{1}{t} |h_t(\sigma_\alpha x,y)-h_t(\sigma_\alpha x',y)| &\le C\frac{\delta}{s}\frac{1}{t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \left(1+\frac{\|\sigma_\alpha x-y\|}{s}\right)^{-2} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(x,y)^2}{s^2}\right) \\ &\le C\frac{\delta}{s}\frac{1}{t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(x,y)^2}{s^2}\right). \end{align}\] Thus no comparison between \(\|\sigma_\alpha x-y\|\) and \(\|x-y\|\) is used; the Euclidean decay factor is only discarded. It remains only to check the principal term. Set \[P_t(x,y)=\frac{(y_i-x_i)(y_j-x_j)}{4t^2}h_t(x,y).\] Then \[\begin{align} P_t(x,y)-P_t(x',y) &=\frac{(y_i-x_i)(y_j-x_j)-(y_i-x'_i)(y_j-x'_j)}{4t^2}h_t(x,y) \\ &\quad+ \frac{(y_i-x'_i)(y_j-x'_j)}{4t^2} \big(h_t(x,y)-h_t(x',y)\big) \\ &=:P_1+P_2. \end{align}\] Expanding the coefficient gives \[\begin{align} &(y_i-x_i)(y_j-x_j)-(y_i-x'_i)(y_j-x'_j) =(x'_i-x_i)(y_j-x_j)+(x'_j-x_j)(y_i-x'_i). \end{align}\] Since \(\delta\le s\), we have \(|(y_i-x_i)(y_j-x_j)-(y_i-x'_i)(y_j-x'_j)| \le C\delta(\|x-y\|+s).\) Using the size estimate with this extra factor, \[\begin{align} |P_1| &\lesssim \frac{\delta(\|x-y\|+s)}{t^2} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{s}\right)^{-2} e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2} \lesssim \frac{\delta}{s}\frac{1}{t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}. \end{align}\] For the second term, again \(\delta\le s\) gives \(|y_i-x'_i|\,|y_j-x'_j|\le C(\|x-y\|+s)^2.\) The first-variable heat-kernel regularity gives \[|h_t(x,y)-h_t(x',y)| \lesssim \frac{\delta}{s}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{s}\right)^{-2}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}.\] Consequently, \[\begin{align} |P_2| &\lesssim \frac{(\|x-y\|+s)^2}{t^2} \frac{\delta}{s}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{s}\right)^{-2}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2} \lesssim \frac{\delta}{s}\frac{1}{t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}. \end{align}\] Combining the principal, scalar and reflected terms proves ?? .
The proof in the second variable is the same in structure, but we give the principal estimate to make clear that no new cancellation is used. Let \(\delta=\|y-y'\|\le s\). Then \[\begin{align} P_t(x,y)-P_t(x,y') &=\frac{(y_i-x_i)(y_j-x_j)-(y'_i-x_i)(y'_j-x_j)}{4t^2}h_t(x,y)\\ &\quad+ \frac{(y'_i-x_i)(y'_j-x_j)}{4t^2} \big(h_t(x,y)-h_t(x,y')\big). \end{align}\] For the coefficient in the first term, expand \[\begin{align} &(y_i-x_i)(y_j-x_j)-(y'_i-x_i)(y'_j-x_j)=(y_i-y'_i)(y_j-x_j)+(y'_i-x_i)(y_j-y'_j). \end{align}\] Since \(\delta\le s\), this gives \[|(y_i-x_i)(y_j-x_j)-(y'_i-x_i)(y'_j-x_j)| \le C\delta(\|x-y\|+s).\] Consequently the first part is bounded by \[\begin{align} & C\frac{\delta(\|x-y\|+s)}{t^2} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{s}\right)^{-2}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2} \le C\frac{\delta}{s}\frac{1}{t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}, \end{align}\] because \((u+1)(1+u)^{-2}\le C\). For the second part, the coefficient is bounded by \[|y'_i-x_i|\,|y'_j-x_j|\le C(\|x-y\|+s)^2.\] Using the second-variable heat-kernel regularity of \(h_t\), we obtain \[\begin{align} \frac{(\|x-y\|+s)^2}{t^2}|h_t(x,y)-h_t(x,y')| &\le C\frac{(\|x-y\|+s)^2}{t^2}\frac{\delta}{s} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{s}\right)^{-2}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2} \\ &\le C\frac{\delta}{s}\frac{1}{t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}. \end{align}\] The scalar term satisfies the explicit estimate \[\begin{align} \frac{1}{t}|h_t(x,y)-h_t(x,y')| &\le C\frac{\delta}{s}\frac{1}{t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{s}\right)^{-2}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2} \le C\frac{\delta}{s}\frac{1}{t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}. \end{align}\] For a reflected term one estimates \(h_t(\sigma_\alpha x,y)-h_t(\sigma_\alpha x,y')\) with \(\sigma_\alpha x\) fixed. Since \[d(\sigma_\alpha x,y)=d(x,y),\qquad V(\sigma_\alpha x,y,s)=V(x,y,s),\] the heat-kernel regularity estimate gives \[\begin{align} \frac{1}{t}|h_t(\sigma_\alpha x,y)-h_t(\sigma_\alpha x,y')| &\le C\frac{\delta}{s}\frac{1}{t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \left(1+\frac{\|\sigma_\alpha x-y\|}{s}\right)^{-2}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2} \le C\frac{\delta}{s}\frac{1}{t}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}. \end{align}\] After multiplication by the fixed reflected coefficients and summation over \(R\), this proves ?? . ◻
Define \[\label{eq:qt-kernel} q_t^{ij,b}(x,y)=\sqrt t\,(b(x)-b(y))A_t^{ij}(x,y),\tag{19}\] and \[\label{eq:theta-kernel} \theta_s(x,y)=q_{s^2}^{ij,b}(x,y)=s(b(x)-b(y))A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y).\tag{20}\]
Corollary 1. For \(b\in\operatorname{Lip}_d(\mathbb{R}^N)\), \[\label{eq:theta-size} |\theta_s(x,y)|\le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}V(x,y,s)^{-1}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}.\tag{21}\] If \(\|x-x'\|\le s\), then \[\label{eq:theta-x-regularity} |\theta_s(x,y)-\theta_s(x',y)|\le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{\|x-x'\|}{s} V(x,y,s)^{-1}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}.\tag{22}\] If \(\|y-y'\|\le s\), then \[\label{eq:theta-y-regularity} |\theta_s(x,y)-\theta_s(x,y')|\le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{\|y-y'\|}{s} V(x,y,s)^{-1}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}.\tag{23}\]
Proof. The size estimate follows from the orbit Lipschitz condition and ?? : \[\begin{align} |\theta_s(x,y)| &\le s\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}d(x,y) \frac{1}{s^2}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2} =\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{d(x,y)}{s} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}\\ &\lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-c'd(x,y)^2/s^2}. \end{align}\] For the first-variable regularity, assume \(\|x-x'\|\le s\) and write \[\begin{align} \theta_s(x,y)-\theta_s(x',y) &=s[b(x)-b(x')]A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y)+s[b(x')-b(y)] \big(A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y)-A_{s^2}^{ij}(x',y)\big) =:I_1+I_2. \end{align}\] For the first term, the Euclidean Lipschitz bound following from \(b\in\operatorname{Lip}_d\) gives \[|b(x)-b(x')|\le \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\|x-x'\|.\] Using ?? with \(t=s^2\), \[\begin{align} |I_1| &\le s\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\|x-x'\| \frac{1}{s^2}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2} = \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{\|x-x'\|}{s} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}. \end{align}\] For the second term, the orbit triangle inequality gives \[|b(x')-b(y)|\le \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}d(x',y) \le \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\big(d(x,y)+\|x-x'\|\big) \le \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\big(d(x,y)+s\big).\] By ?? , again with \(t=s^2\), \[\begin{align} |I_2| &\lesssim s\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}(d(x,y)+s) \frac{\|x-x'\|}{s}\frac{1}{s^2} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}\\ &= \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{\|x-x'\|}{s} \left(1+\frac{d(x,y)}{s}\right) \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}. \end{align}\] The elementary inequality \((1+u)e^{-cu^2}\le C e^{-c'u^2}\), \(u\ge0\), absorbs the factor \(1+d(x,y)/s\) into the Gaussian. Hence \(|I_1|+|I_2|\) satisfies 22 .
The estimate in the second variable is obtained by the same decomposition, but we spell it out to avoid hiding the Lipschitz factor. If \(\|y-y'\|\le s\), then \[\begin{align} \theta_s(x,y)-\theta_s(x,y') &=s[b(y')-b(y)]A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y)+s[b(x)-b(y')] \big(A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y)-A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y')\big). \end{align}\] For the first term, the second heat-size estimate gives \[\begin{align} s|b(y')-b(y)|\,|A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y)| &\le s\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\|y-y'\| \frac{1}{s^2}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2} = \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{\|y-y'\|}{s} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}. \end{align}\] For the second term, \[|b(x)-b(y')|\le \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}d(x,y') \le \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}(d(x,y)+\|y-y'\|) \le \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}(d(x,y)+s).\] Using ?? , we obtain \[\begin{align} s|b(x)-b(y')|\, |A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y)-A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y')| &\lesssim s\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}(d(x,y)+s) \frac{\|y-y'\|}{s}\frac{1}{s^2} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}\\ &= \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{\|y-y'\|}{s} \left(1+\frac{d(x,y)}{s}\right) \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}. \end{align}\] Again \((1+u)e^{-cu^2}\le C e^{-c'u^2}\) absorbs the extra factor, and the second-variable estimate follows. ◻
We first put in several fundamental estimates on the volume.
Lemma 16. For every \(s>0\), \[\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}V(x,y,s)^{-1}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}\,d\omega(y)\le C.\]
Lemma 17. Let \(r=d(z,y)>0\). Then \[\label{eq:basic-integral-global} r\int_0^\infty t^{-3/2}V(z,y,\sqrt t)^{-1}e^{-cr^2/t}\,dt \le C V(z,y,r)^{-1}.\tag{24}\] Moreover, if \(0<\delta\le r/4\), then \[\label{eq:basic-integral-perturbative} \begin{align} &\int_0^{\delta^2} t^{-3/2}V(z,y,\sqrt t)^{-1}e^{-cr^2/t}\,dt +\delta\int_{\delta^2}^\infty t^{-2}V(z,y,\sqrt t)^{-1}e^{-cr^2/t}\,dt \le C\frac{\delta}{r^2V(z,y,r)}. \end{align}\tag{25}\]
Lemma 18. Let \(r=d(x,y)>0\). If \(\|x-x'\|\le r/4\) and \(r'=d(x',y)\), then \(r'\approx r, \;V(x',y,r')\approx V(x,y,r).\) If \(\|y-y'\|\le r/4\) and \(r''=d(x,y')\), then \(r''\approx r, \;V(x,y',r'')\approx V(x,y,r).\)
Corollary 2. Let \(r=d(x,y)>0\) and let \(0<\delta\le r/4\).
(i) If \(\|x-x'\|\le\delta\) and \(r'=d(x',y)\), then \[\label{eq:perturbative-nearby-x} \int_0^{\delta^2} t^{-3/2}V(x',y,\sqrt t)^{-1}e^{-c(r')^2/t}\,dt \le C\frac{\delta}{r^2V(x,y,r)}.\tag{26}\]
(ii) If \(\|y-y'\|\le\delta\) and \(r''=d(x,y')\), then \[\label{eq:perturbative-nearby-y} \int_0^{\delta^2} t^{-3/2}V(x,y',\sqrt t)^{-1}e^{-c(r'')^2/t}\,dt \le C\frac{\delta}{r^2V(x,y,r)}.\tag{27}\] The constants depend only on the structural constants and on the fixed exponent in the Gaussian factor.
For \(d(x,y)>0\), define \[\label{eq:final-kernel} K_b^{ij}(x,y)=c(b(x)-b(y))\int_0^\infty A_t^{ij}(x,y)\frac{dt}{\sqrt t}.\tag{28}\]
Lemma 19. If \(r=d(x,y)>0\), then 28 is absolutely convergent and \[\label{eq:final-kernel-size-lemma} |K_b^{ij}(x,y)|\le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}V(x,y,r)^{-1}.\tag{29}\]
Proof. By the orbit Lipschitz condition, we have \(|b(x)-b(y)|\le\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}r.\) Combining this with ?? gives \[\begin{align} |K_b^{ij}(x,y)| &\lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}r \int_0^\infty t^{-3/2}V(x,y,\sqrt t)^{-1}e^{-cr^2/t}\,dt. \end{align}\] The integral is finite and bounded by \(C/(rV(x,y,r))\) by Lemma 17. This proves both absolute convergence and 29 . ◻
Proposition 8. If \(r=d(x,y)>0\) and \(\delta=\|x-x'\|\le r/4\), then \[\label{eq:final-kernel-x-regularity} |K_b^{ij}(x,y)-K_b^{ij}(x',y)|\le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{\delta}{r}V(x,y,r)^{-1}.\qquad{(4)}\]
Proof. For readability we write \(A_t=A_t^{ij}\). Set \(r'=d(x',y).\) By Lemma 18, \(r'\approx r, \; V(x',y,r')\approx V(x,y,r).\) We decompose the difference according to whether the change falls on the Lipschitz factor or on the heat-kernel factor: \[\begin{align} K_b^{ij}(x,y)-K_b^{ij}(x',y) &=c[b(x)-b(x')] \int_0^\infty A_t(x,y)\frac{dt}{\sqrt t}+c[b(x')-b(y)] \int_0^\infty (A_t(x,y)-A_t(x',y))\frac{dt}{\sqrt t}\\ &=:I+II. \end{align}\] For the first term, \(|b(x)-b(x')|\le \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\delta\), and ?? gives \[\int_0^\infty |A_t(x,y)|\frac{dt}{\sqrt t} \lesssim \int_0^\infty t^{-3/2}V(x,y,\sqrt t)^{-1}e^{-cr^2/t}\,dt.\] By 24 , the last integral is bounded by \(C/(rV(x,y,r))\). Hence \[|I|\lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{\delta}{r}V(x,y,r)^{-1}.\]
For the second term, the orbit Lipschitz condition gives \[|b(x')-b(y)|\le \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}d(x',y) \lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}r.\] It remains to estimate the integral of the difference of \(A_t\). We split at the scale \(t=\delta^2\). On the small interval \(0<t<\delta^2\), no regularity estimate is available, so we use two size estimates: \[\begin{align} &\int_0^{\delta^2}|A_t(x,y)-A_t(x',y)|\frac{dt}{\sqrt t} \le \int_0^{\delta^2}|A_t(x,y)|\frac{dt}{\sqrt t} + \int_0^{\delta^2}|A_t(x',y)|\frac{dt}{\sqrt t}. \end{align}\] The first integral is bounded by \[C\int_0^{\delta^2}t^{-3/2}V(x,y,\sqrt t)^{-1}e^{-cr^2/t}\,dt,\] whereas the second is bounded by \[C\int_0^{\delta^2}t^{-3/2}V(x',y,\sqrt t)^{-1}e^{-c(r')^2/t}\,dt.\] The first short-time integral is controlled by 25 applied to the unperturbed pair \((x,y)\). The second is controlled by Corollary 2, applied to the perturbed pair \((x',y)\). Hence \[\int_0^{\delta^2}|A_t(x,y)-A_t(x',y)|\frac{dt}{\sqrt t} \lesssim \frac{\delta}{r^2V(x,y,r)}.\] On the complementary interval \(t\ge\delta^2\), one has \(\delta\le\sqrt t\). The heat-scale regularity ?? gives \[\begin{align} &\int_{\delta^2}^{\infty}|A_t(x,y)-A_t(x',y)|\frac{dt}{\sqrt t} \lesssim \delta\int_{\delta^2}^{\infty} t^{-2}V(x,y,\sqrt t)^{-1}e^{-cr^2/t}\,dt \lesssim \frac{\delta}{r^2V(x,y,r)}, \end{align}\] again by 25 . Combining the two ranges, \[\int_0^\infty |A_t(x,y)-A_t(x',y)|\frac{dt}{\sqrt t} \lesssim \frac{\delta}{r^2V(x,y,r)}.\] Therefore \[|II|\lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}r\frac{\delta}{r^2V(x,y,r)} = C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{\delta}{r}V(x,y,r)^{-1}.\] The estimates for \(I\) and \(II\) prove the proposition. ◻
Proposition 9. If \(r=d(x,y)>0\) and \(\delta=\|y-y'\|\le r/4\), then \[\label{eq:final-kernel-y-regularity} |K_b^{ij}(x,y)-K_b^{ij}(x,y')|\le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{\delta}{r}V(x,y,r)^{-1}.\qquad{(5)}\]
Proof. The argument is the same as the proof of Proposition 8; we record the substitutions to avoid any ambiguity about the normalization.
Put \(r''=d(x,y').\) By Lemma 18, \(r''\approx r, \; V(x,y',r'')\approx V(x,y,r).\) We decompose \[\begin{align} K_b^{ij}(x,y)-K_b^{ij}(x,y') &=c[b(y')-b(y)] \int_0^\infty A_t^{ij}(x,y)\frac{dt}{\sqrt t} +c[b(x)-b(y')] \int_0^\infty \bigl(A_t^{ij}(x,y)-A_t^{ij}(x,y')\bigr)\frac{dt}{\sqrt t} \\ &=:I+II . \end{align}\] The first term is estimated exactly as before: \(|b(y')-b(y)| \le \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\|y-y'\| =\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\delta ,\) and \[\int_0^\infty |A_t^{ij}(x,y)|\frac{dt}{\sqrt t} \lesssim \frac{1}{rV(x,y,r)}.\] Thus \[|I| \lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{\delta}{r}V(x,y,r)^{-1}.\]
For the second term, note that \(|b(x)-b(y')| \le \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}d(x,y') \lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}r .\) It remains to estimate the integrated heat-kernel difference. Split the integral at \(t=\delta^2\). On \(0<t<\delta^2\), use the two size estimates for \(A_t^{ij}(x,y)\) and \(A_t^{ij}(x,y')\). The first is controlled by 25 for the pair \((x,y)\), and the second is controlled by Corollary 2 for the pair \((x,y')\). Hence \[\int_0^{\delta^2} |A_t^{ij}(x,y)-A_t^{ij}(x,y')| \frac{dt}{\sqrt t} \lesssim \frac{\delta}{r^2V(x,y,r)}.\] On \(t\ge\delta^2\), we have \(\delta\le\sqrt t\), so ?? gives \[\int_{\delta^2}^{\infty} |A_t^{ij}(x,y)-A_t^{ij}(x,y')| \frac{dt}{\sqrt t} \lesssim \delta\int_{\delta^2}^{\infty} t^{-2}V(x,y,\sqrt t)^{-1}e^{-cr^2/t}\,dt \lesssim \frac{\delta}{r^2V(x,y,r)}.\] Therefore \[\int_0^\infty |A_t^{ij}(x,y)-A_t^{ij}(x,y')| \frac{dt}{\sqrt t} \lesssim \frac{\delta}{r^2V(x,y,r)}.\] Consequently \[|II| \lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}r \frac{\delta}{r^2V(x,y,r)} = C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{\delta}{r}V(x,y,r)^{-1}.\] Combining the estimates for \(I\) and \(II\) proves the proposition. ◻
Theorem 10. For \(d(x,y)>0\), \[\label{eq:final-kernel-size} |K_b^{ij}(x,y)|\le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}V(x,y,d(x,y))^{-1}.\tag{30}\] If \(\|x-x'\|\le d(x,y)/4\), then \[\label{eq:final-kernel-x-regularity-final} |K_b^{ij}(x,y)-K_b^{ij}(x',y)|\le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{\|x-x'\|}{d(x,y)}V(x,y,d(x,y))^{-1}.\tag{31}\] If \(\|y-y'\|\le d(x,y)/4\), then \[\label{eq:final-kernel-y-regularity-final} |K_b^{ij}(x,y)-K_b^{ij}(x,y')|\le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{\|y-y'\|}{d(x,y)}V(x,y,d(x,y))^{-1}.\tag{32}\]
Proof. The statement is obtained by collecting the estimates established in the preceding three results, but we spell out the correspondence between their parameters and the present notation. If \(d(x,y)>0\), set \(r=d(x,y)\). Lemma 19 gives \(|K_b^{ij}(x,y)|\le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}V(x,y,r)^{-1},\) which is 30 .
For the first-variable estimate, assume \(\|x-x'\|\le d(x,y)/4\). Then Proposition 8 applies with \(r=d(x,y),\;\delta=\|x-x'\|,\) and yields \[|K_b^{ij}(x,y)-K_b^{ij}(x',y)| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{\|x-x'\|}{d(x,y)}V(x,y,d(x,y))^{-1}.\] This is exactly 31 .
For the second-variable estimate, assume \(\|y-y'\|\le d(x,y)/4\). Applying Proposition 9 with \(r=d(x,y),\;\delta=\|y-y'\|,\) gives \[|K_b^{ij}(x,y)-K_b^{ij}(x,y')| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{\|y-y'\|}{d(x,y)}V(x,y,d(x,y))^{-1},\] which is 32 . The volume comparisons needed in the two propositions are part of their proofs, through Lemma 18. ◻
For \(s>0\), let \(\Theta_s\) be the integral operator with kernel \(\theta_s(x,y)=s(b(x)-b(y))A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y).\) The estimates in Section 3 give the size and regularity of this scale kernel. To integrate in \(s\), however, we also need the corresponding testing estimates. After the chamber lifting the constant coordinate vectors are represented in the original space by the chamber indicators \[\chi_\tau={\boldsymbol{1}}_{\sigma_\tau\mathcal{C}}.\] We therefore prove Carleson estimates for \(\Theta_s\chi_\tau\) and for the adjoint family.
The proof begins by replacing \(\chi_\tau\) by a smooth cutoff at scale \(s\). This cutoff will be denoted by \(\eta_{\tau,s}\); its precise definition is given in 36 . At this point we only use that \(\eta_{\tau,s}\) is adapted to the chamber \(\sigma_\tau\mathcal{C}\) at scale \(s\), and that the estimates \[|\chi_\tau-\eta_{\tau,s}|\lesssim m_s, \qquad |sT_\ell\eta_{\tau,s}|\lesssim m_s\] hold, as proved later in Lemma 25. The error is localized near the reflection walls and will be estimated by a wall-layer Carleson bound. For the smoothed part, the point is to move one Dunkl derivative onto the cutoff. The product rule for the \(G\)-invariant symbol then separates a first-order commutator term from a term containing \((\partial_j b)\eta_{\tau,s}\). The first is estimated by the kernel bound for \(sT_iH_{s^2}\), while the second is handled by a first-order vertical Carleson estimate.
For \(\alpha\in R\), recall that \(\alpha^\perp\) is the reflecting hyperplane associated with \(\alpha\) and \(\mathcal{W}=\bigcup_{\alpha\in R}\alpha^\perp\). Let \[\delta_{\mathcal{W}}(x):=\operatorname{dist}(x,\mathcal{W}) =\inf_{\alpha\in R}\operatorname{dist}(x,\alpha^\perp),\] where \(\operatorname{dist}\) denotes the Euclidean distance. For \(s>0\), define \[m_s(x):=\min\left\{1,\frac{s}{\delta_{\mathcal{W}}(x)}\right\},\] with \(m_s=1\) on \(\mathcal{W}\).
Lemma 20. There is \(\varepsilon_0>0\) such that for every ball \(B=B(x_0,r)\) and \(0<\lambda\le1\), \[\label{eq:wall-layer-measure} \omega(B\cap\{\delta_\mathcal{W}\le\lambda r\})\le C\lambda^{\varepsilon_0}\omega(B).\tag{33}\] Consequently, \[\label{eq:wall-layer-carleson} \int_0^r\int_B m_s(x)^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s}\le C\omega(B).\tag{34}\]
Proof. We first prove the measure estimate. The weight \[w(x)=\prod_{\alpha\in R}|\langle x,\alpha\rangle|^{\kappa(\alpha)}\] is an \(A_\infty\)-weight with respect to Lebesgue measure. Indeed, for a fixed root \(\alpha\), an orthogonal change of variables writes \[|\langle x,\alpha\rangle|^{\kappa(\alpha)} = c_\alpha |u|^{\kappa(\alpha)}\] in the normal variable \(u\) to the hyperplane \(\alpha^\perp\), up to a harmless constant. Since \(\kappa(\alpha)\ge0\), the one-dimensional power weight \(|u|^{\kappa(\alpha)}\) belongs to \(A_p(\mathbb{R})\) for every \(p>1+\kappa(\alpha)\), and hence the corresponding hyperplane weight belongs to \(A_\infty(\mathbb{R}^N)\). As the root system is finite, the product over \(\alpha\in R\) still belongs to \(A_\infty\). Therefore there are constants \(C,\varepsilon_0>0\) such that for every Euclidean ball \(B\) and every measurable set \(E\subset B\), \[\frac{\omega(E)}{\omega(B)} \le C\left(\frac{|E|}{|B|}\right)^{\varepsilon_0}.\]
Since \(\mathcal{W}\) is a finite union of hyperplanes, the Euclidean set \(B\cap\{\delta_\mathcal{W}\le\lambda r\}\), where \(B=B(x_0,r)\), is contained in a finite union of slabs of thickness comparable to \(\lambda r\). Hence \[|B\cap\{\delta_\mathcal{W}\le\lambda r\}|\le C\lambda |B|.\] Combining this with the \(A_\infty\) estimate gives \[\omega(B\cap\{\delta_\mathcal{W}\le\lambda r\}) \le C\lambda^{\varepsilon_0}\omega(B),\] which is 33 .
We next prove the Carleson estimate. Decompose \(B\), up to the \(\omega\)-null set \(B\cap\mathcal{W}\), into \[B_\infty=B\cap\{\delta_\mathcal{W}>r\} \quad{\rm and }\quad B_k=B\cap\{2^{-k-1}r<\delta_\mathcal{W}\le2^{-k}r\}, \;k=0,1,2,\ldots.\] If \(x\in B_\infty\), then \(m_s(x)\le s/r\) for \(0<s\le r\), and hence \[\int_0^r m_s(x)^2\frac{ds}{s}\le \int_0^r\left(\frac{s}{r}\right)^2\frac{ds}{s}\le C.\] If \(x\in B_k\), write \(\delta=\delta_\mathcal{W}(x)\). Then \(\delta\approx2^{-k}r\) and \[\begin{align} \int_0^r m_s(x)^2\frac{ds}{s} &\le \int_0^\delta\left(\frac{s}{\delta}\right)^2\frac{ds}{s} + \int_\delta^r\frac{ds}{s} \lesssim k+1. \end{align}\] By the measure estimate, we have \(\omega(B_k)\le \omega(B\cap\{\delta_\mathcal{W}\le2^{-k}r\}) \lesssim 2^{-k\varepsilon_0}\omega(B).\) Thus \[\begin{align} \int_0^r\int_Bm_s(x)^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} &\lesssim \omega(B)+\sum_{k\ge0}(k+1)2^{-k\varepsilon_0}\omega(B) \lesssim\omega(B), \end{align}\] as required. ◻
Remark 11. The estimate above is formulated for the distance to the union of all reflection walls, not for a sum over individual walls. This avoids any additional normalization near intersections of several hyperplanes. Indeed, the set \(\{\delta_{\mathcal{W}}\le \lambda r\}\) is contained in a finite union of slabs of thickness comparable to \(\lambda r\), one for each reflecting hyperplane. Points which lie close to several walls are counted several times only in this finite covering, producing at most a structural constant. Thus no extra logarithmic factor or codimension-dependent loss is created at multiple wall intersections.
Define \[\label{eq:gaussian-average} \mathcal{G}_sF(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}V(x,y,s)^{-1}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}F(y)\,d\omega(y).\tag{35}\]
Lemma 21. For nonnegative \(F\), \[\mathcal{G}_sF(x)\le C\sum_{\ell=0}^\infty e^{-c2^{2\ell}}A_{2^{\ell+1}s}^{\mathcal{O}}F(x),\] where \[A_\rho^{\mathcal{O}}F(x)=\omega(\mathcal{O}(B(x,\rho)))^{-1}\int_{\mathcal{O}(B(x,\rho))}F\,d\omega.\]
Proof. Decompose the space into the full-orbit annuli \(E_0=\{y:d(x,y)<2s\},\) and, for \(\ell\ge1\), \(E_\ell=\{y:2^\ell s\le d(x,y)<2^{\ell+1}s\}.\) For \(y\in E_\ell\), with the convention \(2^0s=s\) in the constants, we have \(e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}\le C e^{-c2^{2\ell}}\) and \(E_\ell\subset \mathcal{O}(B(x,2^{\ell+1}s)), \; V(x,y,s)\ge \omega(B(x,s)).\) By Lemma 3 and the upper growth estimate, we obtain that \(\omega(\mathcal{O}(B(x,2^{\ell+1}s))) \lesssim \omega(B(x,2^{\ell+1}s))\lesssim 2^{\ell\mathbf{N}}\omega(B(x,s)).\) It follows that, for \(y\in E_\ell\), \[\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} \le \frac{1}{\omega(B(x,s))} \lesssim \frac{2^{\ell\mathbf{N}}}{\omega(\mathcal{O}(B(x,2^{\ell+1}s)))}.\] Therefore \[\begin{align} \int_{E_\ell}V(x,y,s)^{-1}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}F(y)\,d\omega(y) &\lesssim e^{-c2^{2\ell}}2^{\ell\mathbf{N}} \frac{1}{\omega(\mathcal{O}(B(x,2^{\ell+1}s)))} \int_{\mathcal{O}(B(x,2^{\ell+1}s))}F(y)\,d\omega(y) \\ &= e^{-c2^{2\ell}}2^{\ell\mathbf{N}}A_{2^{\ell+1}s}^{\mathcal{O}}F(x). \end{align}\] Since for every fixed \(\mathbf{N}\) one has \(2^{\ell\mathbf{N}}e^{-c2^{2\ell}}\le C e^{-c'2^{2\ell}}, \;\ell=0,1,2,\ldots,\) we may decrease the Gaussian constant and absorb the polynomial factor. The sum over all annuli gives the asserted domination. ◻
Lemma 22. For every ball \(B_0=B(x_0,r)\), every \(\rho>0\), and nonnegative \(F\), \[\int_{B_0}A_\rho^\mathcal{O}F(x)\,d\omega(x)\le C\int_{\mathcal{O}(B(x_0,r+\rho)) }F\,d\omega.\]
Proof. By Fubini, \[\begin{align} \int_{B_0}A_\rho^\mathcal{O}F(x)\,d\omega(x) &=\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}F(y) \int_{B_0}\frac{{\boldsymbol{1}}_{\mathcal{O}(B(x,\rho))}(y)}{\omega(\mathcal{O}(B(x,\rho)))} \,d\omega(x)d\omega(y). \end{align}\] If \({\boldsymbol{1}}_{\mathcal{O}(B(x,\rho))}(y)\ne0\) and \(x\in B_0\), then \(d(x,y)<\rho\). Since \(\|x-x_0\|<r\), the triangle inequality for \(d\) gives \[d(x_0,y)\le \|x_0-x\|+d(x,y)<r+\rho.\] Thus the inner integral can be nonzero only when \(y\in\mathcal{O}(B(x_0,r+\rho))\). Moreover, if \(d(x,y)<\rho\), choose \(\sigma\in G\) such that \(\|x-\sigma y\|<\rho\). By \(G\)-invariance, \(\omega(B(y,\rho))=\omega(B(\sigma y,\rho)).\) The two inclusions \(B(x,\rho)\subset B(\sigma y,2\rho), \; B(\sigma y,\rho)\subset B(x,2\rho)\) and doubling imply \(\omega(B(x,\rho))\approx \omega(B(y,\rho)).\) By Lemma 3, this also gives \(\omega(\mathcal{O}(B(x,\rho)))\approx \omega(\mathcal{O}(B(y,\rho))).\) Hence \[\begin{align} \int_{B_0}\frac{{\boldsymbol{1}}_{\mathcal{O}(B(x,\rho))}(y)}{\omega(\mathcal{O}(B(x,\rho)))} \,d\omega(x) &\lesssim \frac{\omega(B_0\cap\mathcal{O}(B(y,\rho)))}{\omega(\mathcal{O}(B(y,\rho)))} \le C. \end{align}\] Substitution in the Fubini identity gives the desired localization bound. ◻
Lemma 23. For \(B_0=B(x_0,r)\) and \(L\ge1\), \[\int_0^r\int_{\mathcal{O}(B(x_0,Lr))}m_s(y)^2\,d\omega(y)\frac{ds}{s} \le CL^{\mathbf{N}}\omega(B_0).\]
Proof. Since \[\mathcal{O}(B(x_0,Lr))=\bigcup_{\sigma\in G}B(\sigma x_0,Lr),\] it is enough to estimate the integral over each ball in this finite union. For a fixed \(\sigma\), Lemma 20 applied to the ball \(B(\sigma x_0,Lr)\) gives \[\int_0^{Lr}\int_{B(\sigma x_0,Lr)}m_s(y)^2\,d\omega(y)\frac{ds}{s} \lesssim \omega(B(\sigma x_0,Lr)).\] The left-hand side dominates the same integral with the upper limit \(r\), since \(L\ge1\). By \(G\)-invariance and upper growth, we have \(\omega(B(\sigma x_0,Lr))=\omega(B(x_0,Lr)) \lesssim L^{\mathbf{N}}\omega(B(x_0,r)).\) Summing over the finitely many \(\sigma\in G\) proves the estimate. ◻
Lemma 24. For every ball \(B_0=B(x_0,r)\), \[\int_0^r\int_{B_0}|\mathcal{G}_sm_s(x)|^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s}\le C\omega(B_0).\]
Proof. By Lemma 21, \[\mathcal{G}_sm_s(x) \le C\sum_{\ell\ge0}a_\ell A_{2^{\ell+1}s}^{\mathcal{O}}m_s(x), \qquad a_\ell=e^{-c2^{2\ell}}.\] Since \(\sum_\ell a_\ell<\infty\), Cauchy’s inequality gives \[|\mathcal{G}_sm_s(x)|^2 \lesssim \sum_{\ell\ge0}a_\ell \big(A_{2^{\ell+1}s}^{\mathcal{O}}m_s(x)\big)^2.\] The orbit average is normalized by a positive measure, hence Jensen’s inequality yields \[\big(A_{2^{\ell+1}s}^{\mathcal{O}}m_s(x)\big)^2 \le A_{2^{\ell+1}s}^{\mathcal{O}}(m_s^2)(x).\] After decreasing the Gaussian constant in the coefficients, we obtain \[|\mathcal{G}_sm_s(x)|^2 \lesssim \sum_{\ell\ge0}e^{-c2^{2\ell}} A_{2^{\ell+1}s}^{\mathcal{O}}(m_s^2)(x).\] Integrating over \(B_0\) and applying Lemma 22, \[\begin{align} &\int_0^r\int_{B_0}|\mathcal{G}_sm_s(x)|^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} \lesssim \sum_{\ell\ge0}e^{-c2^{2\ell}} \int_0^r\int_{\mathcal{O}(B(x_0,r+2^{\ell+1}s))}m_s(y)^2\,d\omega(y)\frac{ds}{s}. \end{align}\] Since \(0<s\le r\), we have \(r+2^{\ell+1}s\le C2^\ell r.\) Lemma 23 then gives \[\int_0^r\int_{\mathcal{O}(B(x_0,C2^\ell r))}m_s(y)^2\,d\omega(y)\frac{ds}{s} \lesssim 2^{\ell\mathbf{N}}\omega(B_0).\] The resulting series \(\sum_{\ell\ge0}e^{-c2^{2\ell}}2^{\ell\mathbf{N}}\) is finite. This proves the Carleson bound for the Gaussian average of the wall layer. ◻
Remark 12. Lemma 24 averages the single function \(m_s^2\), where \(m_s\) is defined from the distance to the full wall arrangement \(\mathcal{W}\). It does not square a sum of root-wise layers. If \[m_{\alpha,s}(x):=\min\left\{1,\frac{s}{\operatorname{dist}(x,\alpha^\perp)}\right\},\] where \(\alpha^\perp=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^N:\langle x,\alpha\rangle=0\}\), then \(m_{\alpha,s}\le m_s\), and the finite root-wise sums appearing in Dunkl difference quotients are absorbed into the structural constant. Thus multiple wall intersections produce no additional logarithmic or codimensional loss.
The chamber indicator is replaced by a cutoff at the same scale as the heat kernel. The following estimates are used later inside the commutator identity; for that reason the Dunkl derivative of the cutoff is estimated explicitly, including its difference part across each reflecting hyperplane.
For each chamber \(\Omega_\tau\), choose the positive root system \(R_\tau^+\subset R\) determined by \(\Omega_\tau\), so that \(\langle x,\alpha\rangle>0\) in the interior of \(\Omega_\tau\) for \(\alpha\in R_\tau^+\). We set \[\ell_{\tau,\alpha}(x):=\frac{\langle x,\alpha\rangle}{\|\alpha\|}, \qquad \alpha\in R_\tau^+.\] Thus the collection of zero sets \(\{\ell_{\tau,\alpha}=0\}\), \(\alpha\in R_\tau^+\), is exactly the collection of reflection hyperplanes, with one representative from each pair \(\{\alpha,-\alpha\}\). This slightly stronger all-root cutoff is preferable to a facet-only cutoff, because the Dunkl difference quotient contains all reflecting hyperplanes. Let \(\vartheta\in C^\infty(\mathbb{R})\), \(0\le\vartheta\le1\), \(\vartheta=0\) on \(( -\infty,1]\), and \(\vartheta=1\) on \([2,\infty)\). Define \[\label{eq:chamber-cutoff} \eta_{\tau,s}(x)=\prod_{\alpha\in R_\tau^+} \vartheta\left(\frac{\ell_{\tau,\alpha}(x)}{s}\right),\tag{36}\] and \(\chi_\tau=\mathbf{1}_{\Omega_\tau}\).
Lemma 25. For every chamber \(\Omega_\tau\) and every \(s>0\), \(|\chi_\tau-\eta_{\tau,s}|\lesssim m_s.\) Moreover, for every \(\ell=1,\ldots,N\), \(|sT_\ell\eta_{\tau,s}(x)|\lesssim m_s(x)\) for \(\omega\)-almost every \(x\). The constants depend only on the root system and on the fixed one-dimensional cutoff \(\vartheta\).
Proof. We first compare the discontinuous chamber indicator with the smoothed cutoff. By construction, \(\eta_{\tau,s}\) is equal to \(1\) at points of \(\Omega_\tau\) whose distance from every reflection hyperplane is at least \(2s\), and it is equal to \(0\) outside \(\Omega_\tau\) whenever the point is at distance at least \(s\) from the reflection wall which separates it from \(\Omega_\tau\). Thus \(\chi_\tau-\eta_{\tau,s}\) is supported in a fixed multiple of the \(s\)-neighborhood of \(\mathcal{W}\). On this set \(m_s\) is bounded from below by a positive constant, whereas outside this set the difference is zero. This gives \[|\chi_\tau-\eta_{\tau,s}|\lesssim m_s.\]
We now estimate the Dunkl derivative. The ordinary derivative satisfies \[|\partial_\ell\eta_{\tau,s}(x)|\lesssim s^{-1} \mathbf{1}_{\{\operatorname{dist}(x,\mathcal{W})\le Cs\}},\] and hence \(|s\partial_\ell\eta_{\tau,s}(x)|\lesssim m_s(x).\)
For the difference part in \(T_\ell\), write \[T_\ell\eta_{\tau,s}(x) = \partial_\ell\eta_{\tau,s}(x) + \sum_{\alpha\in R} \frac{\kappa(\alpha)}{2}\alpha_\ell \frac{\eta_{\tau,s}(x)-\eta_{\tau,s}(\sigma_\alpha x)}{\langle\alpha,x\rangle}.\] It is useful to keep the following root-wise comparison in mind. Put \[\delta_\alpha(x)=\operatorname{dist}(x,\alpha^\perp),\qquad m_{\alpha,s}(x)=\min\left\{1,\frac{s}{\delta_\alpha(x)}\right\}.\] Since \(\delta_{\mathcal{W}}(x)=\min_\beta\delta_\beta(x)\), one has \(m_{\alpha,s}(x)\le m_s(x)\). Thus after estimating each root contribution by \(m_{\alpha,s}\), the finite sum over roots is still controlled by \(m_s\).
The summands with \(\kappa(\alpha)=0\) vanish. For the remaining summands we use two elementary bounds. Since \(0\le\eta_{\tau,s}\le1\), \(|\eta_{\tau,s}(x)-\eta_{\tau,s}(\sigma_\alpha x)|\le1.\) Since \(\eta_{\tau,s}\) is \(Cs^{-1}\)-Lipschitz, \(|\eta_{\tau,s}(x)-\eta_{\tau,s}(\sigma_\alpha x)| \lesssim s^{-1}\|x-\sigma_\alpha x\|.\) Combining the two estimates, we have \[|\eta_{\tau,s}(x)-\eta_{\tau,s}(\sigma_\alpha x)| \lesssim \min\left\{1,\frac{\|x-\sigma_\alpha x\|}{s}\right\}.\] Note also that \[\|x-\sigma_\alpha x\| =2\frac{|\langle x,\alpha\rangle|}{\|\alpha\|}.\] Therefore, away from the wall \(\langle x,\alpha\rangle=0\), \[\begin{align} s\frac{|\eta_{\tau,s}(x)-\eta_{\tau,s}(\sigma_\alpha x)|}{|\langle\alpha,x\rangle|} &\lesssim \min\left\{\frac{s}{|\langle\alpha,x\rangle|},1\right\}. \end{align}\] Equivalently, the last expression is bounded by a constant multiple of \(m_{\alpha,s}(x)\), and hence by a constant multiple of \(m_s(x)\). The hyperplanes themselves are \(\omega\)-null, so the estimate holds for \(\omega\)-almost every \(x\). Summing over the finite root system proves the lemma. ◻
Remark 13. The all-root cutoff is used not because the chamber indicator requires it, but because the Dunkl derivative has difference quotients across every reflecting hyperplane. When \(\langle\alpha,x\rangle\) is small, the corresponding variation of \(\eta_{\tau,s}\) is measured by \(m_{\alpha,s}\le C m_s\). Since the root system is finite, the sum over all such quotients remains bounded by the same wall-layer function up to a structural constant.
Lemma 26. Let \(B_0=B(x_0,r_0)\) be fixed. Let \(\psi\in C_c^\infty(\mathbb{R}^N)\) be radial, \(0\le\psi\le1\), equal to \(1\) on \(B(0,1)\), and equal to \(0\) outside \(B(0,2)\). Set \[\psi_R(x)=\psi(x/R), \qquad \eta_{\tau,s}^R=\eta_{\tau,s}\psi_R.\] Then the algebraic identities involving \(\eta_{\tau,s}\) used in the component testing proof may be justified by first applying them to the compactly supported function \(\eta_{\tau,s}^R\) and then letting \(R\to\infty\). More precisely, every term produced by replacing \(\eta_{\tau,s}\) with \(\eta_{\tau,s}^R\) has local Carleson norm on \(B_0\times(0,r_0)\) tending to zero as \(R\to\infty\).
Proof. The proof is local in the testing box. We fix \(x\in B_0\) and \(0<s\le r_0\). Since \(\psi_R\) is radial, it is \(G\)-invariant, and hence \(T_j\psi_R=\partial_j\psi_R.\) Moreover, we have \(|\partial_j\psi_R|\lesssim R^{-1}, \; \operatorname{supp}\partial_j\psi_R\subset A_R:=\{R\le |y|\le2R\}.\) Since \(\psi_R\) is \(G\)-invariant, the Dunkl product rule gives \[T_j(\eta_{\tau,s}\psi_R) =\psi_R T_j\eta_{\tau,s}+\eta_{\tau,s}\partial_j\psi_R.\] Thus the only new term created by compact truncation is the ordinary derivative of the radial cutoff; there is no additional reflection-difference term coming from \(\psi_R\). Choose \(R\ge4(1+|x_0|+r_0)\). If \(y\notin B(0,R)\), then for every \(\sigma\in G\), \(\|x-\sigma y\|\ge |y|-|x| \ge R-(|x_0|+r_0) \ge cR.\) Thus \[d(x,y)\ge cR\] whenever \(x\in B_0\) and \(y\notin B(0,R)\). We shall use the following tail bound: for every fixed \(M\ge0\), \[\label{eq:tail-bound-compact-cutoff} \int_{\{d(x,y)\ge cR\}} \left(1+\frac{d(x,y)}{s}\right)^M \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-c d(x,y)^2/s^2}\,d\omega(y) \le C_Me^{-c_MR^2/s^2}.\tag{37}\] Indeed, decompose \(\{d(x,y)\ge cR\}\) into orbit annuli \(2^kR\le d(x,y)<2^{k+1}R, \;k=0,1,2,\ldots.\) On such an annulus the Gaussian gives \(e^{-c4^kR^2/s^2}\), while upper growth and Lemma 3 give at most a polynomial factor in \(2^kR/s\). The polynomial factor is absorbed by the Gaussian, and the sum in \(k\) gives 37 .
We now list the error terms. First, replacing \(\eta_{\tau,s}\) by \(\eta_{\tau,s}^R\) in \(\Theta_s\eta_{\tau,s}\) leaves the tail \(\eta_{\tau,s}(1-\psi_R)\). By the scale kernel estimate, \[\begin{align} |\Theta_s(\eta_{\tau,s}(1-\psi_R))(x)| &\lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \int_{\{|y|>R\}} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-c d(x,y)^2/s^2}\,d\omega(y) \lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}e^{-cR^2/s^2}. \end{align}\] There is also the corresponding tail in the first-order commutator term, namely \[s[M_b,T_iH_{s^2}]\big((1-\psi_R)T_j\eta_{\tau,s}\big).\] Using \(|sT_j\eta_{\tau,s}|\lesssim m_s\le1\), the first-derivative heat estimate, and the orbit-Lipschitz bound for \(b\), we obtain \[\begin{align} \left|s[M_b,T_iH_{s^2}]\big((1-\psi_R)T_j\eta_{\tau,s}\big)(x)\right| &\lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \int_{\{|y|>R\}} \frac{d(x,y)}{s} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}\,d\omega(y) \lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}e^{-cR^2/s^2}, \end{align}\] where the last step follows from 37 with \(M=1\). Second, in the term \(-sT_iH_{s^2}((\partial_jb)\eta_{\tau,s})\), the corresponding tail is controlled by the first-derivative heat estimate: \[\begin{align} |sT_iH_{s^2}((\partial_jb)\eta_{\tau,s}(1-\psi_R))(x)| &\lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \int_{\{|y|>R\}} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-c d(x,y)^2/s^2}\,d\omega(y) \lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}e^{-cR^2/s^2}. \end{align}\] Third, differentiating the cutoff produces the term \[s[M_b,T_iH_{s^2}](\eta_{\tau,s}\partial_j\psi_R).\] Using \(|\partial_j\psi_R|\lesssim R^{-1}\), the orbit-Lipschitz bound for \(b\), and Lemma 14, we get \[\begin{align} |s[M_b,T_iH_{s^2}](\eta_{\tau,s}\partial_j\psi_R)(x)| &\le s\int_{A_R}|b(x)-b(y)|\,|T_{i,x}h_{s^2}(x,y)|\,|\partial_j\psi_R(y)|\,d\omega(y)\\ &\lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \int_{A_R} \frac{d(x,y)}{R} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-c d(x,y)^2/s^2}\,d\omega(y). \end{align}\] Since \(0<s\le r_0\) and \(R\ge4(1+|x_0|+r_0)\), we have \(s/R\le1\). Hence \[\frac{d(x,y)}{R}\le \frac{d(x,y)}{s} \le 1+\frac{d(x,y)}{s}.\] The last integral is therefore bounded by \(\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}e^{-cR^2/s^2}\), after applying 37 with \(M=1\).
Thus every error term \(\mathcal{E}_{R,s}\) which appears in the local testing argument satisfies \[|\mathcal{E}_{R,s}(x)| \lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}e^{-cR^2/s^2}, \qquad x\in B_0,\quad 0<s\le r_0.\] Consequently, \[\begin{align} \int_0^{r_0}\int_{B_0}|\mathcal{E}_{R,s}(x)|^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} &\lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}^2\omega(B_0) \int_0^{r_0}e^{-cR^2/s^2}\frac{ds}{s}. \end{align}\] The last integral tends to zero as \(R\to\infty\), for example after the change of variables \(u=R^2/s^2\). This proves the lemma. ◻
Remark 14. The preceding lemma is deliberately formulated on a fixed testing box \(B_0\times(0,r_0)\). No global convergence of \(\eta_{\tau,s}^R\) in a scale-dependent Sobolev norm is being claimed or used. All errors created by the compact cutoff are supported at Euclidean distance \(\gtrsim R\) from the testing box and are killed by the Gaussian factor \(e^{-cR^2/s^2}\), uniformly for \(0<s\le r_0\). This is precisely the amount of convergence needed in the component-testing proof.
Lemma 27. For every \(\ell\), \[\int_0^\infty \|sT_\ell H_{s^2}f\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}^2 \frac{ds}{s} \le C\|f\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}^2.\]
Proof. By Plancherel for the Dunkl transform, \[\begin{align} \int_0^\infty\|sT_\ell H_{s^2}f\|_2^2\frac{ds}{s} &= \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} \left(\int_0^\infty s^2\xi_\ell^2e^{-2s^2\|\xi\|^2}\frac{ds}{s}\right) |\mathcal{F}_\kappa f(\xi)|^2\,d\omega(\xi). \end{align}\] For \(\xi\ne0\), \[\int_0^\infty s\xi_\ell^2e^{-2s^2\|\xi\|^2}\,ds =\frac{\xi_\ell^2}{4\|\xi\|^2} \le \frac{1}{4}.\] At \(\xi=0\) the inner integrand is zero. Hence the preceding display is bounded by \(C\|f\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}^2\). ◻
Lemma 28. Let \(B_0=B(x_0,r)\) be a Euclidean ball. For every \(g\in L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\) and every \(\ell=1,\ldots,N\), \[\int_0^r\int_{B_0}|sT_\ell H_{s^2}g(x)|^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} \le C\|g\|_\infty^2\omega(B_0).\]
Proof. Let \[g_1=g\mathbf{1}_{\mathcal{O}(B(x_0,4r))}, \qquad g_2=g\mathbf{1}_{\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\mathcal{O}(B(x_0,4r))}.\] For the local part, the vertical square-function estimate gives \[\begin{align} \int_0^r\int_{B_0}|sT_\ell H_{s^2}g_1(x)|^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} &\le \int_0^\infty\|sT_\ell H_{s^2}g_1\|_2^2\frac{ds}{s} \lesssim \|g_1\|_2^2 \le \|g\|_\infty^2\omega(\mathcal{O}(B(x_0,4r))) \lesssim \|g\|_\infty^2\omega(B_0), \end{align}\] where the last step uses Lemma 3 and doubling.
For the far part, take \(x\in B_0\), \(0<s\le r\), and \(y\notin\mathcal{O}(B(x_0,4r))\). Then \[d(x,y)\ge d(x_0,y)-\|x-x_0\|\ge4r-r=3r.\] Using Lemma 14, \[\begin{align} |sT_\ell H_{s^2}g_2(x)| &\le \|g\|_\infty \int_{d(x,y)\ge3r} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}\,d\omega(y). \end{align}\] We estimate the last integral explicitly. Let \(E_k=\{y:2^kr\le d(x,y)<2^{k+1}r\}, \;k=1,2,\ldots.\) For \(y\in E_k\), \[e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}\le e^{-c4^kr^2/s^2}, \qquad V(x,y,s)\ge \omega(B(x,s)).\] Moreover, \(E_k\subset \mathcal{O}(B(x,2^{k+1}r)),\) and hence, using Lemma 3 and upper growth, \[\begin{align} \omega(E_k) &\le \omega(\mathcal{O}(B(x,2^{k+1}r))) \lesssim \left(\frac{2^kr}{s}\right)^{\mathbf{N}}\omega(B(x,s)). \end{align}\] Therefore \[\begin{align} &\int_{E_k}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}\,d\omega(y) \lesssim e^{-c4^kr^2/s^2}\left(\frac{2^kr}{s}\right)^{\mathbf{N}}. \end{align}\] Since \(0<s\le r\), the polynomial factor is absorbed by the Gaussian after summing in \(k\), and we obtain \[|sT_\ell H_{s^2}g_2(x)| \lesssim \|g\|_\infty e^{-cr^2/s^2}.\] Thus \[\int_0^r |sT_\ell H_{s^2}g_2(x)|^2\frac{ds}{s} \lesssim \|g\|_\infty^2\int_0^r e^{-cr^2/s^2}\frac{ds}{s} \lesssim \|g\|_\infty^2.\] Integrating in \(x\in B_0\) completes the proof. ◻
Throughout this subsection, unless otherwise specified, all \(L^2\)-spaces and all pairings are taken over the full space \((\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\). Thus \[\langle f,g\rangle_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)} = \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} f(x)\overline{g(x)}\,d\omega(x).\] We now prove the testing estimate. The proof is written in the full space, because the test functions are the actual chamber indicators. Only after this estimate is obtained do we lift to \(\mathcal{C}\), where these indicators become coordinate vectors.
Lemma 29. For every \(s>0\), \(L_s=T_iT_jH_{s^2}\) is self-adjoint on \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\).
Proof. We use the Dunkl transform. On the Schwartz class, and hence by closure on \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\), \[\mathcal{F}_\kappa(T_k f)(\xi)=i\xi_k\mathcal{F}_\kappa f(\xi), \qquad \mathcal{F}_\kappa(H_{s^2}f)(\xi)=e^{-s^2\|\xi\|^2}\mathcal{F}_\kappa f(\xi).\] Consequently \(L_s=T_iT_jH_{s^2}\) is the multiplier \[-\xi_i\xi_j e^{-s^2\|\xi\|^2}.\] This multiplier is real-valued and bounded. Therefore \(\langle L_s f,g\rangle_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)} = \langle f,L_s g\rangle_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}\) for Schwartz functions, and the identity extends to all of \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\) by boundedness. ◻
Lemma 30. Let \(\Theta_{s,b}\) denote the scale operator with kernel \(s(b(x)-b(y))A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y)\), as introduced at the beginning of Section 4. For every \(s>0\), it satisfies \[\Theta_{s,b}^*=-\Theta_{s,\overline{b}}\] in the bilinear kernel sense. Consequently, \(\Theta_{s,b}^*\chi_\tau=-\Theta_{s,\overline{b}}\chi_\tau\) for every chamber indicator \(\chi_\tau\).
Proof. We state the identity at the kernel level, because the symbol \(b\) is not assumed to be bounded on \(\mathbb{R}^N\). Thus one should not regard \(M_b\) as a bounded multiplication operator on \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\). By Lemma 29, the operator \(L_s=T_iT_jH_{s^2}\) is self-adjoint on \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\). Hence its kernel satisfies \[A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y)=\overline{A_{s^2}^{ij}(y,x)}\] in the usual off-diagonal associated-kernel sense. Therefore the adjoint kernel of \(\Theta_{s,b}\) is \[\begin{align} \overline{s(b(y)-b(x))A_{s^2}^{ij}(y,x)} &=s\big(\overline{b}(y)-\overline{b}(x)\big)A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y) =-s\big(\overline{b}(x)-\overline{b}(y)\big)A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y), \end{align}\] which is exactly the kernel of \(-\Theta_{s,\overline{b}}\). The Gaussian bound for the scale kernel justifies the identity first for bounded compactly supported test functions on \(\mathbb{R}^N\) and then for the chamber indicators used in the Carleson testing argument. ◻
Remark 15. The argument is not restricted to real-valued symbols. If \(b\) is complex-valued, then \(\overline{b}\in\operatorname{Lip}_d\) and \(\|\overline{b}\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}=\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\). The identity \(\Theta_{s,b}^*=-\Theta_{s,\overline{b}}\) is therefore exactly the right replacement for a formal skew-adjoint commutator identity. In particular, the adjoint component testing below is obtained by applying the already proved non-adjoint testing estimate to the symbol \(\overline{b}\). No boundedness of \(M_b\) on \(L^2\) and no reduction to real-valued symbols is needed.
Lemma 31. Assume that \(b\in C^1(\mathbb{R}^N)\) is \(G\)-invariant and that \(\varphi\in C_c^\infty(\mathbb{R}^N)\). Then, for every \(s>0\), \[\label{eq:compact-algebraic-commutator-identity} \Theta_{s,b}\varphi = s[M_b,T_iH_{s^2}](T_j\varphi) - sT_iH_{s^2}\big((\partial_jb)\varphi\big).\tag{38}\] Here the identity is understood pointwise, or equivalently after pairing with compactly supported bounded test functions.
Proof. For compactly supported smooth \(\varphi\), both \(\varphi\) and \(b\varphi\) are admissible test functions for the finite heat operator. By the definition of the kernel \(A_{s^2}^{ij}\), \[\Theta_{s,b}\varphi =s\big(M_bL_s\varphi-L_s(b\varphi)\big), \qquad L_s=T_iT_jH_{s^2}.\] We next justify the commutation used below on this class of test functions. Since the Dunkl operators commute with one another and \(\Delta=\sum_kT_k^2\), one has \[T_j\Delta^m\varphi=\Delta^mT_j\varphi, \qquad m=0,1,2,\ldots.\] Applying this identity to the heat semigroup, first for the heat-polynomial approximants and then passing to the heat operator on test functions, gives \[T_jH_{s^2}\varphi=H_{s^2}T_j\varphi.\] Equivalently, the same equality follows from the Dunkl-transform multiplier representation of \(H_{s^2}\). Therefore \[T_iT_jH_{s^2}\varphi=T_iH_{s^2}(T_j\varphi),\] that is, \(L_s\varphi=T_iH_{s^2}(T_j\varphi).\)
Since \(b\) is \(G\)-invariant, the product rule gives \(T_j(b\varphi)=(\partial_jb)\varphi+bT_j\varphi.\) Consequently \[\begin{align} L_s(b\varphi) &=T_iH_{s^2}T_j(b\varphi) =T_iH_{s^2}\big((\partial_jb)\varphi\big) +T_iH_{s^2}\big(bT_j\varphi\big), \end{align}\] while \(M_bL_s\varphi=bT_iH_{s^2}(T_j\varphi).\)
Subtracting these two identities gives 38 . The point of the compact support assumption is only to justify the algebra before any limiting argument is taken; the noncompact chamber cutoffs are obtained from this identity by Lemma 26. ◻
Proposition 16. For every chamber indicator \(\chi_\tau\) and every Euclidean ball \(B_0=B(x_0,r)\), \[\label{eq:component-testing} \int_0^r\int_{B_0}|\Theta_s\chi_\tau(x)|^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}^2\omega(B_0).\qquad{(6)}\] The same estimate holds with \(\Theta_s\) replaced by \(\Theta_s^*\).
Proof. We prove the estimate on a fixed ball \(B_0=B(x_0,r),\) with constants independent of \(B_0\) and of the chamber. The argument has two separate roles. The first is to replace the discontinuous chamber indicator by a heat-scale cutoff; the second is to use the algebraic commutator identity only for smooth, compactly supported objects and then pass to the limiting ones.
Set \(\beta_{\tau,s}:=\chi_\tau-\eta_{\tau,s}.\) Then \[\Theta_s\chi_\tau=\Theta_s\eta_{\tau,s}+\Theta_s\beta_{\tau,s}.\] We first estimate the boundary part using the scale kernel bound. From the integral representation of \(\Theta_s\), \[\Theta_s\beta_{\tau,s}(x) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}\theta_s(x,y)\beta_{\tau,s}(y)\,d\omega(y),\] whenever the right-hand side is interpreted by the same heat-scale kernel estimate. Since \(|\beta_{\tau,s}|\lesssim m_s\), Corollary 1 gives \[\begin{align} |\Theta_s\beta_{\tau,s}(x)| &\le \int |\theta_s(x,y)|\,|\beta_{\tau,s}(y)|\,d\omega(y) \lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \int\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}m_s(y)\,d\omega(y) =C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\mathcal{G}_sm_s(x). \end{align}\] After integration over \(B_0\times(0,r)\), Lemma 24 gives \[\int_0^r\int_{B_0}|\Theta_s\beta_{\tau,s}(x)|^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} \lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}^2\omega(B_0).\]
We next treat \(\Theta_s\eta_{\tau,s}\). At first assume that \(b\) is smooth and \(G\)-invariant, with \(\|\nabla b\|_\infty\le \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\). Since \(\eta_{\tau,s}\) is not compactly supported, one should first replace it by \(\eta_{\tau,s}^R=\eta_{\tau,s}\psi_R\), apply the following computation to the compactly supported function \(\eta_{\tau,s}^R\), and then let \(R\to\infty\). Lemma 26 shows that the error tends to zero in the local Carleson norm on every testing box. We therefore write the identity for \(\eta_{\tau,s}\) itself.
Applying Lemma 31 first to \(\eta_{\tau,s}^R\), and then letting \(R\to\infty\) by Lemma 26, gives \[\begin{align} \Theta_s\eta_{\tau,s} &=s[M_b,T_iH_{s^2}](T_j\eta_{\tau,s}) -sT_iH_{s^2}\big((\partial_jb)\eta_{\tau,s}\big) =:A_s+B_s. \end{align}\] This is the only algebraic identity needed in the testing argument, and it has now been obtained without applying the product rule directly to a noncompact cutoff.
For \(A_s\), the cutoff derivative estimate gives \(|sT_j\eta_{\tau,s}(y)|\lesssim m_s(y)\). Hence, by the first derivative heat estimate and the orbit Lipschitz bound for \(b\), \[\begin{align} |A_s(x)| &\le s\int |b(x)-b(y)|\,|T_{i,x}h_{s^2}(x,y)|\, |T_j\eta_{\tau,s}(y)|\,d\omega(y)\\ &\lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \int \frac{d(x,y)}{s} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}m_s(y)\,d\omega(y)\\ &\lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\mathcal{G}_sm_s(x). \end{align}\] Thus \(A_s\) satisfies the same Carleson estimate as the boundary term.
For \(B_s\), write again \(\eta_{\tau,s}=\chi_\tau-\beta_{\tau,s}\). Then \[\begin{align} B_s &=-sT_iH_{s^2}\big((\partial_jb)\chi_\tau\big) +sT_iH_{s^2}\big((\partial_jb)\beta_{\tau,s}\big) =:B_s^{\rm main}+B_s^{\rm bd}. \end{align}\] Since \((\partial_jb)\chi_\tau\in L^\infty\) and \(\|\partial_jb\|_\infty\le\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\), Lemma 28 gives \[\int_0^r\int_{B_0}|B_s^{\rm main}(x)|^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} \lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}^2\omega(B_0).\] The boundary part satisfies \[\begin{align} |B_s^{\rm bd}(x)| &\le s\int |T_{i,x}h_{s^2}(x,y)|\,|\partial_jb(y)|\, |\beta_{\tau,s}(y)|\,d\omega(y) \lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\mathcal{G}_sm_s(x), \end{align}\] and is controlled by Lemma 24. This proves the component testing estimate for smooth \(b\).
It remains to remove the smoothness assumption. Let \(b_\varepsilon\) be the smooth \(G\)-invariant approximants from Lemma 10, and let \(\Theta_{s,\varepsilon}\) be the corresponding scale operators. The preceding smooth argument gives, with a constant independent of \(\varepsilon\), \[\label{eq:smooth-approx-uniform-testing} \int_0^r\int_{B_0}|\Theta_{s,\varepsilon}\chi_\tau(x)|^2 \,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} \lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}^2\omega(B_0).\tag{39}\] We now pass to the limit in this local Carleson estimate. This passage uses only the scale kernels; it does not require treating \(M_b\) or \(M_{b_\varepsilon}\) as bounded multiplication operators.
Fix \(s>0\) and fix \(x\) outside the exceptional null set on which the heat kernels are not represented by their pointwise formulae. Then \[\label{eq:smooth-approx-pointwise-difference} \begin{align} &\Theta_{s,\varepsilon}\chi_\tau(x)-\Theta_s\chi_\tau(x) =\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}s\Big[(b_\varepsilon(x)-b_\varepsilon(y))-(b(x)-b(y))\Big] A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y)\chi_\tau(y)\,d\omega(y). \end{align}\tag{40}\] We prove that the right-hand side tends to zero. Choose \(M>2|x|+1\), and split the integral into the compact part \(B(0,M)\) and the tail \(\mathbb{R}^N\setminus B(0,M)\).
On \(B(0,M)\), local uniform convergence gives \[\label{eq:smooth-approx-local-uniform} \sup_{y\in B(0,M)} \left|(b_\varepsilon(x)-b_\varepsilon(y))-(b(x)-b(y))\right| \longrightarrow0.\tag{41}\] For this fixed \(s\), the function \(y\mapsto sA_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y)\) is locally integrable. Indeed, Proposition 7 gives \[\label{eq:smooth-approx-local-integrable-majorant} s|A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y)| \lesssim \frac{1}{s}\frac{1}{V(x,y,s)} e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2},\tag{42}\] and the right-hand side has finite integral over bounded sets by the same orbit-annular estimate used for Lemma 16. Hence 41 and 42 imply that the compact part of 40 tends to zero as \(\varepsilon\to0\).
For the tail, use the uniform orbit-Lipschitz bounds for both \(b\) and \(b_\varepsilon\): \[\begin{align} &\left|(b_\varepsilon(x)-b_\varepsilon(y))-(b(x)-b(y))\right| \le |b_\varepsilon(x)-b_\varepsilon(y)|+|b(x)-b(y)| \le 2\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}d(x,y). \end{align}\] Together with the second heat estimate, this gives the uniform majorant \[\label{eq:smooth-approx-tail-majorant} \begin{align} s\left|(b_\varepsilon(x)-b_\varepsilon(y))-(b(x)-b(y))\right| |A_{s^2}^{ij}(x,y)| &\lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{d(x,y)}{s} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-cd(x,y)^2/s^2}\\ &\lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-c'd(x,y)^2/s^2}. \end{align}\tag{43}\] The last bound is independent of \(\varepsilon\). Since every element of \(G\) is an isometry, \[d(x,y)=\min_{\sigma\in G}\|x-\sigma y\| \ge |y|-|x|,\] so for \(y\notin B(0,M)\) and \(M>2|x|+1\) one has \(d(x,y)\ge M/2\). The orbit-annular estimate gives \[\label{eq:smooth-approx-tail-vanishing} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N\setminus B(0,M)} \frac{1}{V(x,y,s)}e^{-c'd(x,y)^2/s^2}\,d\omega(y) \longrightarrow0, \qquad M\to\infty.\tag{44}\] Thus the tail in 40 is small uniformly in \(\varepsilon\) once \(M\) is large. Combining the compact part and the tail proves \[\label{eq:smooth-approx-pointwise-convergence} \Theta_{s,\varepsilon}\chi_\tau(x)\to\Theta_s\chi_\tau(x)\tag{45}\] for almost every \((x,s)\).
Now apply Fatou’s lemma on the fixed testing box \(B_0\times(0,r)\). From 39 and 45 , \[\begin{align} \int_0^r\int_{B_0}|\Theta_s\chi_\tau(x)|^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} \le \liminf_{\varepsilon\to0} \int_0^r\int_{B_0}|\Theta_{s,\varepsilon}\chi_\tau(x)|^2 \,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} \lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}^2\omega(B_0). \end{align}\] Thus the component testing estimate holds for every \(b\in\operatorname{Lip}_d\).
Remark 17. The approximation above is deliberately local in the testing box and local in the heat scale. We do not assert convergence of the multiplication operators \(M_{b_\varepsilon}\) to \(M_b\) on \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\), which would be false in this level of generality when \(b\) is unbounded. The only convergence used is the pointwise convergence of the scale-kernel expressions 45 , followed by Fatou’s lemma. This is sufficient for the Carleson testing needed in the continuous \(T1\) theorem.
Finally, we handle the adjoint. By Lemma 30, \[\Theta_{s,b}^\ast\chi_\tau=-\Theta_{s,\overline{b}}\chi_\tau.\] The estimate just proved for \(\Theta_s\chi_\tau\) was established for an arbitrary complex-valued symbol in \(\operatorname{Lip}_d\). Applying it to \(\overline{b}\) therefore gives \[\int_0^r\int_{B_0}|\Theta_{s,b}^*\chi_\tau(x)|^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} \lesssim \|\overline{b}\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}^2\omega(B_0) = \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}^2\omega(B_0).\] This proves the adjoint testing estimate. The passage uses only the scale-kernel adjoint identity and the Lipschitz norm of \(\overline{b}\); it does not require \(M_b\) to be a bounded multiplication operator on \(L^2\). ◻
We now pass from the full space to one fixed chamber. This passage is the main geometric bookkeeping device of the paper. It is important that this is not a quotient construction. We do not identify the values of a function on different reflected chambers. Instead, we keep all these values as separate coordinates over one chamber.
Let \[G=\{\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_M\}, \;M=|G|, \;\sigma_1=\mathrm{Id},\] and let \(\mathcal{C}\) be a fixed closed fundamental chamber. We write \[\Omega_\rho=\sigma_\rho\mathcal{C}, \qquad 1\le \rho\le M.\] The chamber walls are \(\omega\)-null, and therefore \[\mathbb{R}^N=\bigcup_{\rho=1}^M \Omega_\rho\] up to an \(\omega\)-null set. The union is disjoint modulo these walls. Since \(d\omega\) is \(G\)-invariant, for every non-negative measurable function \(\Phi\), \[\int_{\Omega_\rho}\Phi(x)\,d\omega(x) = \int_{\mathcal{C}}\Phi(\sigma_\rho x)\,d\omega(x).\]
For a scalar function \(f\) on \(\mathbb{R}^N\), define its chamber lift by \[Uf(x) = \big(f(\sigma_1x),\ldots,f(\sigma_Mx)\big), \qquad x\in\mathcal{C}.\] Thus \(Uf\) is an \(\ell^p_M\)-valued function on \(\mathcal{C}\). Conversely, if \[F=(F_1,\ldots,F_M)\] is an \(\ell^p_M\)-valued function on \(\mathcal{C}\), then \(U^{-1}F\) is the full-space function defined by \[(U^{-1}F)(\sigma_\rho x)=F_\rho(x), \qquad x\in\mathcal{C},\quad 1\le\rho\le M,\] with the harmless ambiguity on the chamber walls ignored because these walls are \(\omega\)-null.
The key point is that \(U\) preserves the \(L^p\)-norm exactly. We use the usual unnormalised norm on \(\ell^p_M\): \[\|(a_1,\ldots,a_M)\|_{\ell^p_M}^p = \sum_{\rho=1}^M |a_\rho|^p.\]
Lemma 32. Let \(1\le p\leq\infty\). We have \(\|Uf\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^p_M)} = \|f\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}.\) Thus \[U:L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega) \longrightarrow L^p(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^p_M)\] is an isometric isomorphism for every \(1\le p\le\infty\). In particular, for \(p=2\), \(U\) is unitary.
Proof. We first take \(1\le p<\infty\). By definition of \(U\), \[\begin{align} \|Uf\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C};\ell^p_M)}^p &= \int_{\mathcal{C}} \sum_{\rho=1}^M |f(\sigma_\rho x)|^p \,d\omega(x) = \sum_{\rho=1}^M \int_{\mathcal{C}}|f(\sigma_\rho x)|^p\,d\omega(x). \end{align}\] Since the map \(x\mapsto\sigma_\rho x\) is a measure-preserving bijection from \(\mathcal{C}\) onto \(\sigma_\rho\mathcal{C}\), it follows that \[\int_{\mathcal{C}}|f(\sigma_\rho x)|^p\,d\omega(x) = \int_{\sigma_\rho\mathcal{C}}|f(x)|^p\,d\omega(x).\] Therefore \[\begin{align} \|Uf\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C};\ell^p_M)}^p &= \sum_{\rho=1}^M \int_{\sigma_\rho\mathcal{C}}|f(x)|^p\,d\omega(x) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|f(x)|^p\,d\omega(x), \end{align}\] because the reflected chambers cover \(\mathbb{R}^N\) disjointly up to an \(\omega\)-null set. Hence \[\|Uf\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C};\ell^p_M)} = \|f\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}.\]
For \(p=\infty\), \[\begin{align} \|Uf\|_{L^\infty(\mathcal{C};\ell^\infty_M)} &= \operatorname*{ess\,sup}_{x\in\mathcal{C}} \max_{1\le\rho\le M}|f(\sigma_\rho x)| = \operatorname*{ess\,sup}_{x\in\mathbb{R}^N}|f(x)| = \|f\|_{L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}. \end{align}\] The formula for \(U^{-1}\) above shows that \(U\) is onto. This proves that \(U\) is an isometric isomorphism. For \(p=2\), the same computation also gives preservation of the inner product, so \(U\) is unitary. ◻
The isometry is the reason that estimates on the lifted operator give exactly the desired estimates on the original operator. If \(T\) is an operator on \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\) and \[\mathbb{T}=UTU^{-1}\] is its chamber lift, then \[T=U^{-1}\mathbb{T} U.\] Hence, whenever \[\|\mathbb{T} F\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C};\ell^p_M)} \le A\|F\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C};\ell^p_M)}\] for all \(F\), we obtain for every \(f\) \[\begin{align} \|Tf\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)} &= \|U Tf\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C};\ell^p_M)} = \|UTU^{-1}(Uf)\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C};\ell^p_M)} = \|\mathbb{T}(Uf)\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C};\ell^p_M)} \\ &\le A\|Uf\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C};\ell^p_M)} = A\|f\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}. \end{align}\] Thus the chamber lifting never weakens the \(L^p\)-estimate. It only rewrites the problem as a finite-dimensional vector-valued problem on the fixed chamber.
Finally, the lifting also moves the singularity to the ordinary diagonal of \(\mathcal{C}\). If \(x,y\in\mathcal{C}\), then the chamber representative identity gives \[d(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y)=\|x-y\|, \qquad 1\le\rho,\tau\le M.\] Therefore the full-space orbit singularity \[d(x,y)=0\] becomes, after lifting, the ordinary chamber diagonal \[x=y.\] The reflection labels \(\rho,\tau\) are not removed. They become matrix indices. Thus a full-space scalar kernel \(K\) becomes the finite matrix kernel \[\mathbb{K}^{\rho\tau}(x,y) = K(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y), \qquad x,y\in\mathcal{C}.\] This is why the lifted problem is a Calderón–Zygmund problem on the ordinary space of homogeneous type \[(\mathcal{C},\|\cdot\|,d\omega|_{\mathcal{C}}),\] with a finite matrix of scalar entries. The price is only the finite matrix dimension \(M=|G|\), and this contributes only a structural constant depending on the root system.
Remark 18. When some multiplicities vanish, the effective heat kernel may have fewer singular relations than those generated by the full group \(G\). We still use the full chamber decomposition, because it gives a single representation of the full-space operator on all reflected components. For some entries the resulting Calderón–Zygmund estimate is stronger than what is needed, but this does not change the proof: only uniform upper bounds are used, and the number of entries is finite.
Define \[\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s:=U\Theta_sU^{-1}.\] Let \(F=(F_1,\ldots,F_{|G|})\) be a compactly supported bounded vector-valued function on \(\mathcal{C}\). For \(x\in\mathcal{C}\), \[\begin{align} (\boldsymbol{\Theta}_sF)_\rho(x) &=(\Theta_sU^{-1}F)(\sigma_\rho x) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}\theta_s(\sigma_\rho x,z)(U^{-1}F)(z)\,d\omega(z). \end{align}\] Since the chamber walls are \(\omega\)-null, \(\mathbb{R}^N\) is the disjoint union, modulo null sets, of the reflected chambers \(\sigma_\tau\mathcal{C}\). Moreover, each map \(\sigma_\tau:\mathcal{C}\to\sigma_\tau\mathcal{C}\) preserves \(d\omega\), and \[(U^{-1}F)(\sigma_\tau y)=F_\tau(y), \qquad y\in\mathcal{C}.\] Therefore \[(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_sF)_\rho(x) = \sum_{\tau=1}^{|G|} \int_\mathcal{C} \theta_s(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y)F_\tau(y)\,d\omega(y).\] Accordingly the lifted scale kernel is \[\label{eq:lifted-scale-kernel} \mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x,y) := \theta_s(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y), \qquad x,y\in\mathcal{C}.\tag{46}\]
Lemma 33. For every \(1\le \rho,\tau\le |G|\) and every \(x,y\in\mathcal{C}\), \[\label{eq:lifted-scale-size-main} |\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x,y)| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{1}{V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,s)} \exp\left(-c\frac{\|x-y\|^2}{s^2}\right).\tag{47}\] Moreover, if \(x,x',y\in\mathcal{C}\) and \(\|x-x'\|\le s\), then \[\label{eq:lifted-scale-xreg-main} \begin{align} &|\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x,y) -\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x',y)| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{\|x-x'\|}{s} \frac{1}{V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,s)} \exp\left(-c\frac{\|x-y\|^2}{s^2}\right), \end{align}\tag{48}\] and, if \(x,y,y'\in\mathcal{C}\) and \(\|y-y'\|\le s\), then \[\label{eq:lifted-scale-yreg-main} \begin{align} &|\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x,y) -\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x,y')| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{\|y-y'\|}{s} \frac{1}{V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,s)} \exp\left(-c\frac{\|x-y\|^2}{s^2}\right). \end{align}\tag{49}\] The constants are independent of \(\rho\) and \(\tau\).
Proof. Fix \(x,y\in\mathcal{C}\), and write \(z=\sigma_\rho x, \; w=\sigma_\tau y .\) These are full-space points, whereas \(x\) and \(y\) remain chamber points. By the chamber representative lemma, \[d(z,w)=d(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y)=\|x-y\|.\] Moreover, chamber volume comparability gives \[V(z,w,s) = V(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y,s) \approx V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,s),\] with constants independent of \(\rho\) and \(\tau\). Applying Corollary 1 to the full-space points \(z\) and \(w\) gives \[\begin{align} |\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x,y)| &= |\theta_s(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y)| = |\theta_s(z,w)| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{1}{V(z,w,s)} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(z,w)^2}{s^2}\right), \end{align}\] which is exactly 47 after the two preceding comparisons.
For regularity in the first chamber variable, assume \(x,x',y\in\mathcal{C}\) and \(\|x-x'\|\le s\). Put \(z'=\sigma_\rho x'.\) Since reflections are Euclidean isometries, \[\|z-z'\| = \|\sigma_\rho x-\sigma_\rho x'\| = \|x-x'\| \le s.\] By Corollary 1, \[\begin{align} |\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x,y) -\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x',y)| & = |\theta_s(z,w)-\theta_s(z',w)| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{\|z-z'\|}{s} \frac{1}{V(z,w,s)} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(z,w)^2}{s^2}\right). \end{align}\] Using \[\|z-z'\|=\|x-x'\|, \qquad d(z,w)=\|x-y\|, \qquad V(z,w,s)\approx V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,s),\] we obtain 48 .
For the second chamber variable, assume \(x,y,y'\in\mathcal{C}\) and \(\|y-y'\|\le s\). Put \(w'=\sigma_\tau y'.\) Then \[\|w-w'\| = \|\sigma_\tau y-\sigma_\tau y'\| = \|y-y'\| \le s.\] The second-variable regularity estimate in Corollary 1 gives \[\begin{align} |\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x,y) -\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x,y')| & = |\theta_s(z,w)-\theta_s(z,w')| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{\|w-w'\|}{s} \frac{1}{V(z,w,s)} \exp\left(-c\frac{d(z,w)^2}{s^2}\right). \end{align}\] Again \[\|w-w'\|=\|y-y'\|, \qquad d(z,w)=\|x-y\|, \qquad V(z,w,s)\approx V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,s),\] and hence 49 follows. The constants do not depend on \(\rho\) or \(\tau\). ◻
Lemma 34. For every coordinate vector \(e_\tau\in\mathbb{C}^{|G|}\), the measure \[|\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s e_\tau(x)|_{\ell^2}^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s}\] is Carleson on \(\mathcal{C}\), with norm bounded by \(C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}^2\). The same assertion holds for \(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s^*e_\rho\).
Proof. Let \[\chi_\tau=\mathbf{1}_{\Omega_\tau}=\mathbf{1}_{\sigma_\tau\mathcal{C}}.\] For \(x\) in the interior of \(\mathcal{C}\), the point \(\sigma_\rho x\) lies in \(\Omega_\tau\) exactly when \(\rho=\tau\). Since the walls are \(\omega\)-null, this gives \[U\chi_\tau=e_\tau\] in every \(L^p(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^p_{|G|})\). Hence \[\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s e_\tau=U\Theta_s\chi_\tau.\]
Let \(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)=B(x_0,r)\cap\mathcal{C}\) be a chamber ball. Then \[\begin{align} &\int_0^r\int_{B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)} |\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s e_\tau(x)|_{\ell^2}^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} = \sum_{\rho=1}^{|G|} \int_0^r\int_{B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)} |\Theta_s\chi_\tau(\sigma_\rho x)|^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s}. \end{align}\] For the \(\rho\)-th term, we use that \(\sigma_\rho:B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)\to\sigma_\rho B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)\) is a measure-preserving bijection. Therefore \[\begin{align} \int_0^r\int_{B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)} |\Theta_s\chi_\tau(\sigma_\rho x)|^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} = \int_0^r\int_{\sigma_\rho B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)} |\Theta_s\chi_\tau(z)|^2\,d\omega(z)\frac{ds}{s}. \end{align}\] Moreover, \[\sigma_\rho B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r) \subset B(\sigma_\rho x_0,r),\] because \(\sigma_\rho\) is a Euclidean isometry. Hence Proposition 16 gives \[\begin{align} \int_0^r\int_{B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)} |\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s e_\tau(x)|_{\ell^2}^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} & \le \sum_{\rho=1}^{|G|} \int_0^r\int_{B(\sigma_\rho x_0,r)} |\Theta_s\chi_\tau(z)|^2\,d\omega(z)\frac{ds}{s} \lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}^2 \sum_{\rho=1}^{|G|}\omega(B(\sigma_\rho x_0,r)). \end{align}\] By invariance of \(d\omega\), \(\omega(B(\sigma_\rho x_0,r))=\omega(B(x_0,r)),\) and by chamber volume comparability, \(\omega(B(x_0,r))\approx \omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)).\) Thus \[\int_0^r\int_{B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)} |\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s e_\tau(x)|_{\ell^2}^2\,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} \lesssim \|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}^2\omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)),\] which is the desired Carleson estimate on \(\mathcal{C}\).
For the adjoint, use that \(U\) is unitary on \(L^2\). Hence \[\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s^*=U\Theta_s^*U^{-1}, \qquad \boldsymbol{\Theta}_s^*e_\rho=U\Theta_s^*\chi_\rho.\] Repeating the preceding argument and using the adjoint part of Proposition 16 proves the adjoint coordinate testing estimate. ◻
We use the terminology of spaces of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman–Weiss [32], [33]; the regularization of quasi-metrics and Lipschitz classes follows the standard framework of Macías–Segovia [34]. Let \((X,\rho,\mu)\) be a space of homogeneous type. For \(x\in X\) and \(r>0\), write \[B(x,r)=\{y\in X:\rho(x,y)<r\}, \qquad V_X(x,y,r)=\max\{\mu(B(x,r)),\mu(B(y,r))\}.\] Fix once and for all a doubling order \(D_X>0\), meaning that \[\mu(B(x,\lambda r))\le C_X\lambda^{D_X}\mu(B(x,r)), \qquad x\in X, \quad r>0, \quad \lambda\ge1.\] Only the existence of such an exponent is used below. In the application to Dunkl chambers the Gaussian heat estimates imply the required off-diagonal bounds with arbitrary polynomial order, so the precise value of \(D_X\) is irrelevant.
A positive measure \(\nu\) on \(X\times(0,\infty)\) is called Carleson if \[\|\nu\|_{\mathcal{C}} := \sup_{B=B(x_B,r_B)} \frac{1}{\mu(B)}\int_0^{r_B}\int_B d\nu(x,s)<\infty.\]
Theorem 19. Let \(\{\Theta_s\}_{s>0}\) be a family of integral operators with kernels \(\theta_s(x,y)\). We use the following continuous-scale \(T1\) criterion as an external real-variable input. This is the form of the \(T1\) principle obtained by combining Calderón reproducing formulae and almost-orthogonality on spaces of homogeneous type with the usual paraproduct decomposition. The underlying framework is that of Han–Sawyer [35], where Calderón reproducing formulae are developed on spaces of homogeneous type and used to obtain \(T1\) and \(Tb\) results. The paraproduct and para-accretive background is consistent with the David–Journé–Semmes theory [36], while the use of Carleson testing in a \(T1\) criterion goes back to the Christ–Journé formulation [37]. We state the exact version needed here in order to make clear that no further Dunkl-specific or vector-valued \(T1\) theorem is being invoked. The finite truncations \[S_{\varepsilon,R}f= \int_\varepsilon^R\Theta_s f\,\frac{ds}{s}, \qquad 0<\varepsilon<R<\infty,\] are initially interpreted on bounded compactly supported functions and then extended by density after the \(L^2\) estimate is obtained. Assume that, for some \(\alpha\in(0,1]\) and some \(\Gamma>D_X+\alpha+1\), \[\label{eq:scalar-continuous-T1-size} |\theta_s(x,y)| \le \mathfrak K \frac{1}{V_X(x,y,s)} \left(1+\frac{\rho(x,y)}{s}\right)^{-\Gamma},\tag{50}\] and, whenever \(\rho(x,x')\le s\), \[\label{eq:scalar-continuous-T1-xreg} \begin{align} |\theta_s(x,y)-\theta_s(x',y)| &\le \mathfrak K \left(\frac{\rho(x,x')}{s}\right)^\alpha \frac{1}{V_X(x,y,s)} \left(1+\frac{\rho(x,y)}{s}\right)^{-\Gamma}. \end{align}\tag{51}\] Assume also that, whenever \(\rho(y,y')\le s\), \[\label{eq:scalar-continuous-T1-yreg} \begin{align} |\theta_s(x,y)-\theta_s(x,y')| &\le \mathfrak K \left(\frac{\rho(y,y')}{s}\right)^\alpha \frac{1}{V_X(x,y,s)} \left(1+\frac{\rho(x,y)}{s}\right)^{-\Gamma}. \end{align}\tag{52}\] Suppose further that the two testing measures \[|\Theta_s1(x)|^2\,d\mu(x)\frac{ds}{s}, \qquad |\Theta_s^*1(x)|^2\,d\mu(x)\frac{ds}{s}\] are Carleson, with norms bounded by \(\mathfrak C^2\) and \((\mathfrak C^*)^2\), respectively; here \(\Theta_s1\) and \(\Theta_s^*1\) are understood in the usual \(T1\)-testing sense. Then the net \(\{S_{\varepsilon,R}\}_{0<\varepsilon<R<\infty}\) converges in the weak operator topology on \(L^2(X,\mu)\), as \(\varepsilon\downarrow0\) and \(R\uparrow\infty\), to a bounded operator \(S\), and \[\|S\|_{L^2(X)\to L^2(X)} \le C(\mathfrak K+\mathfrak C+\mathfrak C^*).\] Moreover the finite truncations are uniformly bounded with the same right-hand side.
Remark 20. The constants \(1\) in Theorem 19 need not belong to \(L^2(X,\mu)\). The notation \(\Theta_s1\) and \(\Theta_s^*1\) refers to the standard testing functions in the continuous \(T1\) criterion. In the application below these quantities are not abstract: they are exactly the coordinate functions obtained by applying the lifted scale kernels to the coordinate constants \(e_\tau\) and \(e_\rho\). The convergence conclusion is understood as a two-endpoint net convergence; hence the limit of \(\langle S_{\varepsilon,R}f,g\rangle\) is independent of the way in which \(\varepsilon\downarrow0\) and \(R\uparrow\infty\).
Remark 21. Theorem 19 is not the classical \(T1\) theorem for a single Calderón–Zygmund kernel. It is a continuous-scale criterion for the operator obtained by integrating the family \(\Theta_s\) in \(ds/s\). Different printed formulations distribute the auxiliary weak boundedness, paraproduct, and almost-orthogonality estimates in slightly different ways. In the present paper the quoted input is exactly the displayed criterion: scale size and Hölder estimates for \(\theta_s\), together with the two Carleson testing conditions for \(\Theta_s1\) and \(\Theta_s^*1\). The new work below is not the scalar continuous \(T1\) theorem itself, but the verification that, after chamber lifting, each scalar matrix entry satisfies these hypotheses uniformly and that component testing for \(\Theta_s\chi_\tau\) and \(\Theta_s^*\chi_\tau\) gives the required coordinate testing conditions.
Corollary 3. Let \(\{\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s\}_{s>0}\) be a family of operators on \(L^2(X,\mu;\ell^2_M)\), written componentwise as \[(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_sF)_a = \sum_{b=1}^M\Theta_s^{ab}F_b, \qquad a=1,\ldots,M.\] Assume that all scalar entries \(\Theta_s^{ab}\) satisfy the scalar kernel hypotheses in Theorem 19 uniformly with constant \(\mathfrak K\). Assume also the coordinate testing estimates \[|\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s e_b(x)|_{\ell^2_M}^2\,d\mu(x)\frac{ds}{s}, \qquad |\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s^* e_a(x)|_{\ell^2_M}^2\,d\mu(x)\frac{ds}{s}\] are Carleson measures with norms bounded by \(\mathfrak C^2\) and \((\mathfrak C^*)^2\), uniformly in the relevant coordinate indices. Then \[\mathbb{S}_{\varepsilon,R}F := \int_\varepsilon^R\boldsymbol{\Theta}_sF\,\frac{ds}{s}\] converges weakly on \(L^2(X,\mu;\ell^2_M)\), as \(\varepsilon\to0\) and \(R\to\infty\), to a bounded operator \(\mathbb{S}\) satisfying \[\|\mathbb{S}\|_{L^2(X;\ell^2_M)\to L^2(X;\ell^2_M)} \le C_M(\mathfrak K+\mathfrak C+\mathfrak C^*).\]
Proof. For each pair of indices \(a,b\), define the scalar truncated operator \[S_{\varepsilon,R}^{ab}f := \int_\varepsilon^R\Theta_s^{ab}f\,\frac{ds}{s}.\] The scalar kernel assumptions in Theorem 19 hold for every \(\Theta_s^{ab}\), with the same constant \(\mathfrak K\). We also need the scalar testing conditions for each entry. These are contained in the coordinate testing hypotheses. Indeed, \[\Theta_s^{ab}1=(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s e_b)_a.\] Similarly, since the adjoint matrix has entries \(((\Theta_s^{ab})^*)_{b,a}\), \[(\Theta_s^{ab})^*1=(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s^*e_a)_b.\] Thus the Carleson norms of \(\Theta_s^{ab}1\) and \((\Theta_s^{ab})^*1\) are bounded by the coordinate testing constants, uniformly in \(a,b\). Notice that this implication is one-way and entrywise: no vector-valued testing theorem is being used here.
All constants in the preceding hypotheses are independent of the truncation endpoints \(\varepsilon\) and \(R\); those endpoints only specify the interval of scale integration. The quoted scalar continuous \(T1\) theorem gives, for each \(a,b\), a weak operator limit \[S^{ab}= \operatorname*{w\!-\!lim}_{\varepsilon\to0,\,R\to\infty} S_{\varepsilon,R}^{ab}\] on \(L^2(X,\mu)\), and \[\|S^{ab}\|_{2\to2} \le C(\mathfrak K+\mathfrak C+\mathfrak C^*).\] Now define the matrix operator \[(\mathbb{S} F)_a:=\sum_{b=1}^M S^{ab}F_b.\] Since \(M\) is finite, \[\begin{align} \|\mathbb{S} F\|_{L^2(X;\ell_M^2)} \le C_M \sum_{a,b=1}^M \|S^{ab}F_b\|_{L^2(X)} \le C_M(\mathfrak K+\mathfrak C+\mathfrak C^*) \sum_{b=1}^M \|F_b\|_{L^2(X)} \le C_M(\mathfrak K+\mathfrak C+\mathfrak C^*) \|F\|_{L^2(X;\ell_M^2)}. \end{align}\] This proves the norm bound.
It remains only to check weak convergence of the matrix truncations. Let \(F,G\in L^2(X;\ell_M^2)\). Expanding the vector inner product and using the finite number of coordinates, we obtain \[\begin{align} \langle \mathbb{S}_{\varepsilon,R}F,G\rangle &= \int_X\sum_{a=1}^M \left(\sum_{b=1}^M S_{\varepsilon,R}^{ab}F_b(x)\right) \overline{G_a(x)}\,d\mu(x) = \sum_{a,b=1}^M \langle S_{\varepsilon,R}^{ab}F_b,G_a\rangle. \end{align}\] For each pair \((a,b)\), the scalar weak convergence gives \(\langle S_{\varepsilon,R}^{ab}F_b,G_a\rangle \longrightarrow \langle S^{ab}F_b,G_a\rangle.\)
Since the double sum contains only \(M^2\) terms, the limit may be taken term by term. Hence \[\begin{align} \lim_{\varepsilon\to0,\;R\to\infty} \langle \mathbb{S}_{\varepsilon,R}F,G\rangle &= \sum_{a,b=1}^M\langle S^{ab}F_b,G_a\rangle =\langle \mathbb{S} F,G\rangle. \end{align}\] This is precisely weak convergence of \(\mathbb{S}_{\varepsilon,R}\) to \(\mathbb{S}\) on \(L^2(X;\ell_M^2)\). ◻
We now apply the preceding criterion to the lifted scale family. The point is not to introduce another operator, but to check that the scale estimates and the component tests obtained above are exactly the scalar kernel and testing hypotheses for the matrix entries of \(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s\).
The underlying space after chamber lifting is \((\mathcal{C},\|\cdot\|,d\omega|_{\mathcal{C}}),\) which is a space of homogeneous type. Indeed, by Lemma 8, \[\omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,2r)) \approx \omega(B(x,2r)) \lesssim \omega(B(x,r)) \approx \omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,r)).\] Thus the balls and volumes which occur in the scalar theorem are \[B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,r)=B(x,r)\cap\mathcal{C}, \qquad V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,r)=\max\{\omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,r)),\omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(y,r))\}.\] The measure used here is simply the restriction of \(d\omega\) to the fixed chamber.
For the matrix entries, write \[\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s=U\Theta_sU^{-1}.\] If \(F=(F_1,\ldots,F_{|G|})\) is a vector-valued function on \(\mathcal{C}\), then \((U^{-1}F)(\sigma_\tau y)=F_\tau(y)\) for \(y\in\mathcal{C}\), modulo the null chamber walls. Hence \[\begin{align} (\boldsymbol{\Theta}_sF)_\rho(x) &=(\Theta_sU^{-1}F)(\sigma_\rho x) =\sum_{\tau=1}^{|G|} \int_\mathcal{C}\theta_s(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y)F_\tau(y)\,d\omega(y). \end{align}\] Thus the scalar matrix entries are precisely \(\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x,y) =\theta_s(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y),\) which is the entrywise formulation of the lifted scale family.
The remaining verification has four independent components:
(i) the chamber space \((\mathcal{C},\|\cdot\|,d\omega|_{\mathcal{C}})\) is doubling and its volume is comparable with the corresponding full-space Dunkl volume;
(ii) each scalar entry \(\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x,y)=\theta_s(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y)\) satisfies the size and two regularity estimates in Theorem 19;
(iii) the full-space component tests for \(\chi_\tau\) give the coordinate tests for \(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s e_\tau\), and the adjoint component tests give the coordinate tests for \(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s^*e_\rho\);
(iv) all constants are independent of the finite scale endpoints.
The proof below records these checks explicitly. This is intentionally entrywise: the scalar continuous \(T1\) criterion is applied to each matrix entry and the finite-dimensional operator is recovered only after those scalar limits have been obtained.
Proposition 22. For \(0<a<B<\infty\), define \[\mathbb{S}_{a,B}F=\int_a^B\boldsymbol{\Theta}_sF\,\frac{ds}{s}.\] Then \(\mathbb{S}_{a,B}\) converges weakly on \(L^2(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^2_{|G|})\) as \(a\to0\) and \(B\to\infty\). Its weak limit \(\mathbb{S}\) satisfies \[\|\mathbb{S}F\|_{L^2(\mathcal{C};\ell^2_{|G|})} \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\|F\|_{L^2(\mathcal{C};\ell^2_{|G|})}.\]
Proof. We give the verification in some detail, since this is the point where the full-space problem is converted into a finite-dimensional continuous \(T1\) problem. The underlying scalar space is \[(X,\rho,\mu)=(\mathcal{C},\|\cdot\|,d\omega|_{\mathcal{C}}).\] By Lemma 8, \(\mu(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,2r)) =\omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,2r)) \lesssim \omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x,r)),\) so \((\mathcal{C},\|\cdot\|,d\omega|_{\mathcal{C}})\) is a space of homogeneous type. We take \(M=|G|,\) and regard \(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s\) as an \(M\times M\) matrix of scalar operators. For its \((\rho,\tau)\)-entry, the kernel is \(\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x,y) =\theta_s(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y).\)
We first check the scalar kernel assumptions. By the lifted kernel estimate, \[|\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x,y)| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{1}{V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,s)} \exp\left(-c\frac{\|x-y\|^2}{s^2}\right).\] Choose once and for all an exponent \(\Gamma\) larger than the doubling order required in Theorem 19. Since \(e^{-cu^2}\le C_\Gamma(1+u)^{-\Gamma}, \;u\ge0,\) we obtain, with \(u=\|x-y\|/s\), \[|\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x,y)| \le C_\Gamma\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{1}{V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,s)} \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{s}\right)^{-\Gamma}.\] Thus the size constant in Theorem 19 is bounded by \(C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\), uniformly in \(\rho,\tau\). If \(\|x-x'\|\le s\), the lifted regularity estimate gives \[\begin{align} |\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x,y) -\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}(x',y)| &\le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{\|x-x'\|}{s} \frac{1}{V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,s)} \exp\left(-c\frac{\|x-y\|^2}{s^2}\right) \\ &\le C_{\Gamma}\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \left(\frac{\|x-x'\|}{s}\right) \frac{1}{V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,s)} \left(1+\frac{\|x-y\|}{s}\right)^{-\Gamma}. \end{align}\] This is the \(x\)-regularity condition in the scalar theorem with \(\alpha=1\). The proof in the \(y\)-variable is the same, using the second-variable regularity estimate for \(\mathbb{\theta}_s^{\rho\tau}\). Hence all scalar entries have the required kernel constants bounded by \(C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\).
We next check the scalar testing assumptions entry by entry. Let \(e_\tau\) denote the \(\tau\)-th coordinate vector in \(\mathbb{C}^{|G|}\). Since \(U\chi_\tau=e_\tau\) modulo null chamber walls, \[\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s e_\tau=U\Theta_s\chi_\tau.\] The coordinate testing estimate already proved gives, for every chamber ball \(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)\), \[\int_0^r\int_{B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)} |\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s e_\tau(x)|_{\ell^2}^2 \,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}^2\omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)).\] For a fixed entry \((\rho,\tau)\), \[\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s^{\rho\tau}1 =(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s e_\tau)_\rho.\] Since the square of one coordinate is bounded by the square of the \(\ell^2\)-norm of the vector, the preceding estimate implies \[\int_0^r\int_{B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)} |\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s^{\rho\tau}1(x)|^2 \,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}^2\omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)).\] Thus the scalar \(T1\) Carleson norm of every entry is bounded by \(C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\). For the adjoint entry, we use the coordinate testing estimate for \(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s^*\) rather than any new kernel calculation. Since \[(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s^{\rho\tau})^*1 =(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s^*e_\rho)_\tau,\] we have pointwise \[|(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s^{\rho\tau})^*1(x)|^2 \le |\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s^*e_\rho(x)|_{\ell^2}^2.\] Integrating this inequality over the testing box and applying the adjoint coordinate testing estimate gives \[\int_0^r\int_{B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)} |(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s^{\rho\tau})^*1(x)|^2 \,d\omega(x)\frac{ds}{s} \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}^2\omega(B_{\mathcal{C}}(x_0,r)).\] Consequently the constants \(\mathfrak K\), \(\mathfrak C\), and \(\mathfrak C^*\) in the finite-dimensional continuous \(T1\) criterion are all bounded by \(C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\), uniformly in the chamber indices. None of these bounds depends on the finite scale endpoints \(a\) and \(B\).
Corollary 3 therefore applies to the family \(\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s\). It gives weak convergence of \[\mathbb{S}_{a,B}F=\int_a^B\boldsymbol{\Theta}_sF\,\frac{ds}{s}\] on \(L^2(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^2_{|G|})\) as \(a\downarrow0\) and \(B\uparrow\infty\). The norm estimate is \[\|\mathbb{S} F\|_{L^2(\mathcal{C};\ell^2_{|G|})} \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \|F\|_{L^2(\mathcal{C};\ell^2_{|G|})},\] where the constant may depend on the fixed finite group \(G\), but not on \(b\), the truncation parameters, or \(F\). ◻
Remark 23. The weak convergence in Proposition 22 is a net convergence in the two endpoint parameters. In particular, if \((a_n,B_n)\) and \((a'_n,B'_n)\) are two choices with \(a_n,a'_n\downarrow0\) and \(B_n,B'_n\uparrow\infty\), then the corresponding truncated bilinear forms have the same limit on every pair \(F,G\in L^2(\mathcal{C};\ell^2_{|G|})\). This is important later: the full-space operator obtained after pulling back by \(U^{-1}\) is independent of the particular way in which the heat endpoints are removed.
Theorem 24. The regularized operators \(C_{\varepsilon,R}^{ij,b}\) converge weakly on \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\) to a bounded operator, denoted by \([M_b,T_i\mathcal{R}_j]\), and \[\|[M_b,T_i\mathcal{R}_j]f\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)} \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\|f\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}.\]
Proof. For finite truncations the heat parameter and scale parameter are related by \(t=s^2\). Since \(dt/\sqrt t=2\,ds/s\), and the constant \(2\) is absorbed in the normalization constant, we have \[C_{\varepsilon,R}^{ij,b} =c\int_{\sqrt\varepsilon}^{\sqrt R}\Theta_s\,\frac{ds}{s}.\] Let \(f,g\in L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\) and put \(F=Uf\), \(G=Ug\). Because \(U\) is unitary on \(L^2\), \[\begin{align} \langle C_{\varepsilon,R}^{ij,b}f,g\rangle_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)} &=c\left\langle \int_{\sqrt\varepsilon}^{\sqrt R}\boldsymbol{\Theta}_sF\,\frac{ds}{s},G \right\rangle_{L^2(\mathcal{C};\ell^2_{|G|})}. \end{align}\] Set \(a=\sqrt\varepsilon, B=\sqrt R.\) As \(\varepsilon\downarrow0\) and \(R\uparrow\infty\), we have \(a\downarrow0\) and \(B\uparrow\infty\). Proposition 22 therefore gives the limit \[\left\langle \int_a^B\boldsymbol{\Theta}_sF\,\frac{ds}{s},G \right\rangle \longrightarrow \langle \mathbb{S} F,G\rangle.\] Consequently the full-space bilinear forms \(\langle C_{\varepsilon,R}^{ij,b}f,g\rangle\) converge to \(c\langle \mathbb{S} Uf,Ug\rangle.\)
Absorbing the fixed scalar \(c\) into the definition of the limiting operator, we define \[[M_b,T_i\mathcal{R}_j]f:=U^{-1}\mathbb{S} Uf.\] Then \[\begin{align} |\langle [M_b,T_i\mathcal{R}_j]f,g\rangle_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}| &\le \|\mathbb{S} Uf\|_{L^2(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^2_{|G|})} \|Ug\|_{L^2(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^2_{|G|})} \\ &\le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \|Uf\|_{L^2(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^2_{|G|})} \|Ug\|_{L^2(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^2_{|G|})} \\ &= C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \|f\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)} \|g\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}. \end{align}\] Taking the supremum over \(g\) with \(\|g\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}=1\) gives the asserted \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\)-operator norm. The preceding convergence of bilinear forms is exactly weak convergence of the regularized operators. ◻
Remark 25. The notation \([M_b,T_i\mathcal{R}_j]\) is tied to the regularized-kernel construction above. Since \(T_i\mathcal{R}_j\) is an order-one operator, the proof does not start from a principal-value interpretation of the uncommuted operator. The finite regularized operators are defined first; their scale kernels are controlled by component testing; and the weak \(L^2\)-limit is obtained after the chamber lifting. Only after this construction is complete do we identify the associated kernel of the limiting commutator, and this identification is made for pairs of test functions whose supports are separated in the full orbit distance. This is the only sense in which the final Calderón–Zygmund kernel is used in the \(L^p\)-argument below.
We now pass from the weak \(L^2\)-construction to the \(L^p\)-estimate. We write \[T_b^{ij}:=[M_b,T_i\mathcal{R}_j]\] for the weak \(L^2\)-limit obtained in Theorem 24. The point of this section is to connect this abstract weak limit with the kernel constructed in Section 3, and then to apply the ordinary Calderón–Zygmund theorem after the chamber lifting. The orbit metric used here is always the full \(G\)-orbit metric. If some multiplicities vanish, this convention may include more orbit coincidences than the effective heat kernel actually sees, but it gives one uniform geometric framework for the whole argument.
Remark 26. When the effective reflection group is smaller than \(G\), the full orbit relation may identify pairs which are not singular pairs for the effective heat kernel. This does not affect the proof. The estimates in Theorem 10 are upper estimates in the full orbit geometry. Moreover, \(b\in\operatorname{Lip}_d\) implies \[b(x)=b(y)\qquad \text{whenever } d(x,y)=0.\] Thus the full orbit geometry gives a uniform way to treat all nonnegative multiplicities, even though it is not always the sharpest geometry for an individual matrix entry after lifting.
The limit defining \(T_b^{ij}\) is a weak operator limit. Therefore, before applying Calderón–Zygmund theory, one must verify that this limit is associated with the kernel \(K_b^{ij}\) in the usual bilinear sense. This verification is made only for separated supports, which is the form needed later on the chamber. No principal value representation of \(T_i\mathcal{R}_j\) is used.
For bounded compactly supported functions, finite regularized operators are ordinary integral operators. With the normalization convention of Remark 5, the change of variables \(t=s^2\) gives \[C_{\varepsilon,R}^{ij,b} =c\int_{\sqrt\varepsilon}^{\sqrt R}\Theta_s\,\frac{ds}{s}.\] The expression is first considered at the level of finite truncations, where Fubini is justified by the compact supports and by the heat-kernel bounds away from \(t=0\) and \(t=\infty\). The passage to the limiting kernel is then a separated-support dominated convergence argument.
Proposition 27. Let \(f,g\in L_c^\infty(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\), and suppose that \[\operatorname{dist}_d(\operatorname{supp}g,\operatorname{supp}f) := \inf\{d(x,y):x\in\operatorname{supp}g, \;y\in\operatorname{supp}f\}>0.\] Then \[\label{eq:associated-kernel-full} \langle T_b^{ij}f,g\rangle_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)} = \iint_{\mathbb{R}^N\times\mathbb{R}^N} K_b^{ij}(x,y)f(y)\overline{g(x)}\,d\omega(y)d\omega(x),\qquad{(7)}\] where \(K_b^{ij}\) is defined in 28 .
Proof. Let \(\delta_0= \operatorname{dist}_d(\operatorname{supp}g,\operatorname{supp}f)>0.\) For \(0<\varepsilon<R<\infty\), the truncated bilinear form is \[\label{eq:full-space-truncated-pairing-detailed} \begin{align} \langle C_{\varepsilon,R}^{ij,b}f,g\rangle &= c\iint_{\mathbb{R}^N\times\mathbb{R}^N} (b(x)-b(y)) \left(\int_\varepsilon^R A_t^{ij}(x,y)\frac{dt}{\sqrt t}\right) f(y)\overline{g(x)}\,d\omega(y)d\omega(x). \end{align}\tag{53}\] Indeed, the supports of \(f\) and \(g\) are compact, and the finite interval \([\varepsilon,R]\) removes both heat-parameter endpoints. If the supports are contained in a fixed ball \(B(0,M)\), then for \(t\in[\varepsilon,R]\) the estimate in Proposition 7 gives \[|A_t^{ij}(x,y)| \le C_{\varepsilon,R,M}\] for \(x,y\in B(0,M)\). Since \(d(x,y)\le \|x-y\|\), the assumption \(b\in\operatorname{Lip}_d\) implies that \(b\) is Euclidean Lipschitz. In particular, \(b\) is bounded on \(B(0,M)\), and hence \[|b(x)-b(y)|\,|A_t^{ij}(x,y)|\,|f(y)|\,|g(x)|\] is integrable on \(\operatorname{supp}g\times\operatorname{supp}f\times[\varepsilon,R]\). This justifies Fubini and gives 53 .
On \(\operatorname{supp}g\times\operatorname{supp}f\), one has \(d(x,y)\ge\delta_0\). Lemma 19 gives \[|b(x)-b(y)|\int_0^\infty |A_t^{ij}(x,y)|\frac{dt}{\sqrt t} \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{1}{V(x,y,d(x,y))}.\] We check that this right-hand side is integrable over the product of the supports. Since the supports are compact, there is \(M>0\) such that both are contained in \(B(0,M)\). If \(x\in \operatorname{supp}g\), then \[V(x,y,d(x,y))\ge \omega(B(x,\delta_0)).\] Using the volume formula, \[\omega(B(x,\delta_0)) \approx \delta_0^N \prod_{\alpha\in R} \big(|\langle x,\alpha\rangle|+\delta_0\big)^{\kappa(\alpha)}.\] The last expression is bounded below by a positive constant depending on \(M\), \(\delta_0\), and the Dunkl data. Hence \[\frac{|f(y)||g(x)|}{V(x,y,d(x,y))}\] is integrable on the product of the supports. Dominated convergence in 53 yields \[\lim_{\varepsilon\to0,\;R\to\infty} \langle C_{\varepsilon,R}^{ij,b}f,g\rangle = \iint K_b^{ij}(x,y)f(y)\overline{g(x)}\,d\omega(y)d\omega(x).\] On the other hand, Theorem 24 says that the same truncations converge weakly on \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\) to \(T_b^{ij}\). Since \(f,g\in L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\), the left-hand side also tends to \(\langle T_b^{ij}f,g\rangle_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}\). This proves ?? . ◻
We now express the associated kernel after passing to the chamber. The operator on the chamber is \[\mathbb{T}_b^{ij}:=UT_b^{ij}U^{-1}.\] For \(x,y\in\mathcal{C}\) and \(1\le\rho,\tau\le |G|\), define \[\label{eq:lifted-final-kernel} \mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y) :=K_b^{ij}(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y).\tag{54}\] This definition is made only off the chamber diagonal \(x=y\). Indeed, by the chamber representative identity, \[d(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y)=\|x-y\|, \qquad x,y\in\mathcal{C}.\] Thus all full-space orbit singularities, including those involving different reflected chambers, become the single ordinary diagonal \(x=y\) on the chamber. The indices \(\rho,\tau\) are not quotiented out; they remain as matrix entries.
The following lemma is the precise form of the associated-kernel identity on the chamber. The proof is included because it is here that the full-space operator is converted into a finite matrix operator rather than into a quotient operator. In this lemma, pairings involving vector-valued functions on \(\mathcal{C}\) are taken in \(L^2(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^2_{|G|})\), while full-space scalar pairings are taken in \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\).
Lemma 35. Let \(F,G\in L_c^\infty(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\mathbb{C}^{|G|})\). Assume that their coordinate supports are separated in the Euclidean metric on \(\mathcal{C}\), namely \[\label{eq:coordinatewise-chamber-separation} \delta_{\mathcal{C}}(F,G) := \inf_{\substack{1\le \rho,\tau\le |G|\\ \operatorname{supp}G_\rho\ne\varnothing,\; \operatorname{supp}F_\tau\ne\varnothing}} \inf\left\{\|x-y\|: x\in\operatorname{supp}G_\rho,\; y\in\operatorname{supp}F_\tau\right\}>0 .\tag{55}\] Then \[\label{eq:lifted-associated-kernel} \begin{align} \langle \mathbb{T}_b^{ij}F,G\rangle_{L^2(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^2_{|G|})} &= \sum_{\rho,\tau=1}^{|G|} \iint_{\mathcal{C}\times\mathcal{C}} \mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y) F_\tau(y)\overline{G_\rho(x)}\,d\omega(y)d\omega(x). \end{align}\tag{56}\]
Proof. Set \(f=U^{-1}F, \; g=U^{-1}G.\) The supports of \(f\) and \(g\) are compact, because they are finite unions of reflections of compact coordinate supports in \(\mathcal{C}\).
We first check the separation in the full orbit metric. Let \(z\in\operatorname{supp}g\) and \(w\in\operatorname{supp}f\). Up to the \(\omega\)-null chamber walls, there exist indices \(\rho,\tau\) and chamber points \(x\in\operatorname{supp}G_\rho, \; y\in\operatorname{supp}F_\tau\) such that \[z=\sigma_\rho x, \qquad w=\sigma_\tau y.\] By the chamber identity, \[d(z,w) = d(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y) = \|x-y\| \ge \delta_{\mathcal{C}}(F,G).\] Consequently \(\operatorname{supp}g\) and \(\operatorname{supp}f\) are separated with respect to the full orbit metric. Hence Proposition 27 applies and gives \[\langle T_b^{ij}f,g\rangle_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)} = \iint_{\mathbb{R}^N\times\mathbb{R}^N} K_b^{ij}(z,w)f(w)\overline{g(z)}\,d\omega(w)d\omega(z).\]
We now decompose both full-space variables into reflected chambers. Since the chamber walls are \(\omega\)-null, \(\mathbb{R}^N\) is the disjoint union, modulo null sets, of the chambers \(\sigma_\rho\mathcal{C}\), \(1\le\rho\le |G|\). Therefore \[\begin{align} &\iint_{\mathbb{R}^N\times\mathbb{R}^N} K_b^{ij}(z,w)f(w)\overline{g(z)}\,d\omega(w)d\omega(z) = \sum_{\rho,\tau=1}^{|G|} \iint_{\sigma_\rho\mathcal{C}\times\sigma_\tau\mathcal{C}} K_b^{ij}(z,w)f(w)\overline{g(z)}\,d\omega(w)d\omega(z). \end{align}\] For the \((\rho,\tau)\)-term, we use the measure-preserving bijections \[\sigma_\rho:\mathcal{C}\to\sigma_\rho\mathcal{C}, \qquad \sigma_\tau:\mathcal{C}\to\sigma_\tau\mathcal{C}.\] Thus the \((\rho,\tau)\)-term becomes \[\begin{align} \iint_{\mathcal{C}\times\mathcal{C}} K_b^{ij}(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y) f(\sigma_\tau y)\overline{g(\sigma_\rho x)} \,d\omega(y)d\omega(x). \end{align}\] By the definition of \(U\), \[f(\sigma_\tau y)=F_\tau(y), \qquad g(\sigma_\rho x)=G_\rho(x), \qquad x,y\in\mathcal{C}.\] Therefore \[\begin{align} \langle T_b^{ij}f,g\rangle_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)} &= \sum_{\rho,\tau=1}^{|G|} \iint_{\mathcal{C}\times\mathcal{C}} K_b^{ij}(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y) F_\tau(y)\overline{G_\rho(x)} \,d\omega(y)d\omega(x) \\ &= \sum_{\rho,\tau=1}^{|G|} \iint_{\mathcal{C}\times\mathcal{C}} \mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y) F_\tau(y)\overline{G_\rho(x)} \,d\omega(y)d\omega(x), \end{align}\] where \(\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y) = K_b^{ij}(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y).\) Finally, since \(\mathbb{T}_b^{ij}=UT_b^{ij}U^{-1},\) we have \[\langle \mathbb{T}_b^{ij}F,G\rangle_ {L^2(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^2_{|G|})} = \langle T_b^{ij}f,g\rangle_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}.\] Combining the preceding identities gives 56 . ◻
Remark 28. Lemma 35 uses only the finite chamber decomposition of the full-space bilinear form. The labels \(\rho\) and \(\tau\) are kept throughout the change of variables, and the scalar entry \(\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}\) remembers which two reflected chambers are being paired. The separation condition is therefore the ordinary off-diagonal condition \(x\ne y\) on the chamber, uniformly over all coordinate pairs, not a condition on equivalence classes in \(\mathbb{R}^N/G\). In particular, no diagonal restriction such as \(F_1=\cdots=F_{|G|}\) is present in this kernel identification.
Lemma 36. For every \(i,j=1,\ldots,N\) and every \(1\le\rho,\tau\le |G|\), the kernel \(\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}\) is a standard Calderón–Zygmund kernel on \((\mathcal{C},\|\cdot\|,d\omega|_\mathcal{C})\). More explicitly, if \(x,y\in\mathcal{C}\) and \(x\ne y\), then \[\label{eq:lifted-CZ-size} |\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y)| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{1}{V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,\|x-y\|)}.\tag{57}\] If \(x,x',y\in\mathcal{C}\) and \(\|x-x'\|\le \|x-y\|/4\), then \[\label{eq:lifted-CZ-x-regularity} \begin{align} &|\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y) -\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x',y)| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{\|x-x'\|}{\|x-y\|} \frac{1}{V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,\|x-y\|)}. \end{align}\tag{58}\] If \(x,y,y'\in\mathcal{C}\) and \(\|y-y'\|\le \|x-y\|/4\), then \[\label{eq:lifted-CZ-y-regularity} \begin{align} &|\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y) -\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y')| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{\|y-y'\|}{\|x-y\|} \frac{1}{V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,\|x-y\|)}. \end{align}\tag{59}\] All constants are independent of \(\rho\) and \(\tau\).
Proof. Fix \(x,y\in\mathcal{C}\), \(x\ne y\), and set \(z=\sigma_\rho x, \; w=\sigma_\tau y, \; r=\|x-y\|.\) Here \(x,y\) are chamber points, whereas \(z,w\) are the corresponding full-space reflected points. The chamber identity gives \[d(z,w) = d(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y) = \|x-y\| = r.\] The full-space estimate 30 yields \[|K_b^{ij}(z,w)| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\frac{1}{V(z,w,r)}.\] By chamber volume comparability, \(V(z,w,r) = V(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y,r) \approx V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,r),\) with constants independent of \(\rho\) and \(\tau\). Since \[\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y) = K_b^{ij}(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y) = K_b^{ij}(z,w),\] this proves the size estimate 57 .
We next prove the first-variable regularity. Suppose \(x,x',y\in\mathcal{C}\) and \(\|x-x'\|\le r/4\). Put \(z'=\sigma_\rho x'.\) Since \(\sigma_\rho\) is a Euclidean isometry, \[\|z-z'\| = \|\sigma_\rho x-\sigma_\rho x'\| = \|x-x'\| \le \frac{r}{4} = \frac{1}{4} d(z,w).\] Applying the full-space regularity estimate 31 , we get \[\begin{align} |\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y) -\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x',y)| = |K_b^{ij}(z,w)-K_b^{ij}(z',w)| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{\|z-z'\|}{d(z,w)} \frac{1}{V(z,w,d(z,w))}. \end{align}\] Using \[\|z-z'\|=\|x-x'\|, \qquad d(z,w)=\|x-y\|, \qquad V(z,w,d(z,w))\approx V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,\|x-y\|),\] we obtain 58 .
Finally, suppose \(x,y,y'\in\mathcal{C}\) and \(\|y-y'\|\le r/4\). Put \(w'=\sigma_\tau y'.\) Then \[\|w-w'\| = \|\sigma_\tau y-\sigma_\tau y'\| = \|y-y'\| \le \frac{r}{4} = \frac{1}{4} d(z,w).\] Applying the full-space second-variable regularity estimate 32 , we obtain \[\begin{align} |\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y) -\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y')| = |K_b^{ij}(z,w)-K_b^{ij}(z,w')| \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \frac{\|w-w'\|}{d(z,w)} \frac{1}{V(z,w,d(z,w))}. \end{align}\] Using again \[\|w-w'\|=\|y-y'\|, \qquad d(z,w)=\|x-y\|, \qquad V(z,w,d(z,w))\approx V_{\mathcal{C}}(x,y,\|x-y\|),\] we obtain 59 . Thus the second-variable chamber regularity is normalized at the original chamber pair \((x,y)\), exactly as in the scalar Calderón–Zygmund convention. ◻
Remark 29. For fixed \(\rho,\tau\), the entry \(\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y)\) may represent a full-space interaction between different chambers. Nevertheless its singular set on the chamber is still exactly \(x=y\), because \(d(\sigma_\rho x,\sigma_\tau y)=\|x-y\|\). Hence the scalar Calderón–Zygmund theorem is applied on the usual space of homogeneous type \((\mathcal{C},\|\cdot\|,d\omega|_\mathcal{C})\), with the ordinary chamber diagonal. The finite matrix indices record the reflected geometry; they do not change the underlying diagonal of the scalar theory.
The preceding lemma identifies the full matrix kernel. For the scalar Calderón–Zygmund theorem used below, we also record the corresponding entrywise formulation. This avoids any ambiguity about whether the scalar entries inherit the associated-kernel identity from the vector-valued operator.
Corollary 4. Fix \(1\le\rho,\tau\le |G|\), and define \[T^{\rho\tau}:=P_\rho\mathbb{T}_b^{ij}J_\tau,\] where \(J_\tau\) injects a scalar function on \(\mathcal{C}\) into the \(\tau\)-th coordinate and \(P_\rho\) projects onto the \(\rho\)-th coordinate. If \(u,v\in L_c^\infty(\mathcal{C},d\omega)\) have separated supports in \(\mathcal{C}\), then \[\langle T^{\rho\tau}u,v\rangle_{L^2(\mathcal{C},d\omega)} = \iint_{\mathcal{C}\times\mathcal{C}} \mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}(x,y) u(y)\overline{v(x)}\,d\omega(y)d\omega(x).\] Consequently each \(T^{\rho\tau}\) is associated, in the usual separated-support sense on \((\mathcal{C},\|\cdot\|,d\omega|_\mathcal{C})\), with the scalar kernel \(\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}\).
Proof. Apply Lemma 35 to the vector-valued functions \(F=J_\tau u, \; G=J_\rho v.\) The separation of \(\operatorname{supp}u\) and \(\operatorname{supp}v\) is exactly the separation required in that lemma, because all other coordinates of \(F\) and \(G\) vanish. In the finite sum 56 , only the pair of indices \((\rho,\tau)\) contributes, and the left-hand side is \[\langle \mathbb{T}_b^{ij}J_\tau u,J_\rho v\rangle_ {L^2(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^2_{|G|})} = \langle P_\rho\mathbb{T}_b^{ij}J_\tau u,v\rangle_ {L^2(\mathcal{C},d\omega)} = \langle T^{\rho\tau}u,v\rangle_{L^2(\mathcal{C},d\omega)}.\] This gives the desired scalar associated-kernel identity. ◻
On a space of homogeneous type we use the following scalar CZO theorem. The notation is fixed here in order to make the final passage from the lifted matrix operator to the scalar entries completely explicit. Let \((X,\rho,\mu)\) be a space of homogeneous type and put \(V_X(x,y,r)=\max\{\mu(B(x,r)),\mu(B(y,r))\}.\)
A scalar kernel \(K(x,y)\), defined off the diagonal, is called a standard Calderón–Zygmund kernel with constant \(B\) if \[\label{eq:abstract-scalar-CZ-size} |K(x,y)|\le B V_X(x,y,\rho(x,y))^{-1}\tag{60}\] and, whenever \(\rho(x,x')\le \rho(x,y)/4\), \[\label{eq:abstract-scalar-CZ-xreg} |K(x,y)-K(x',y)| \le B\left(\frac{\rho(x,x')}{\rho(x,y)}\right)^\alpha V_X(x,y,\rho(x,y))^{-1}\tag{61}\] for some fixed \(\alpha>0\), and, whenever \(\rho(y,y')\le \rho(x,y)/4\), \[\label{eq:abstract-scalar-CZ-yreg} |K(x,y)-K(x,y')| \le B\left(\frac{\rho(y,y')}{\rho(x,y)}\right)^\alpha V_X(x,y,\rho(x,y))^{-1}.\tag{62}\] An \(L^2\)-bounded operator \(T\) is associated with \(K\) in the separated-support sense if, whenever \(f,g\in L^\infty_c(X)\) have compact supports with positive distance from each other, \[\label{eq:abstract-associated-kernel} \langle Tf,g\rangle = \int_X\int_X K(x,y)f(y)\overline{g(x)}\,d\mu(y)d\mu(x).\tag{63}\] The integral in 63 is then absolutely convergent by 60 . The reduction below records only how this scalar theorem is applied entry by entry to the finite matrix operator obtained from chamber lifting.
Theorem 30. Let \(T\) be bounded on \(L^2(X,\mu)\) with norm at most \(A\), and suppose that \(T\) is associated in the separated-support sense with a standard Calderón–Zygmund kernel whose constant is at most \(B\). Then, for each \(1<p<\infty\), \(T\) admits a bounded extension to \(L^p(X,\mu)\), and \[\|Tf\|_{L^p(X)}\le C_p(A+B)\|f\|_{L^p(X)}.\] Here \(C_p\) depends only on \(p\), the doubling structure of \((X,\rho,\mu)\), and the fixed Hölder exponent in the kernel regularity.
Remark 31. Theorem 30 is an external scalar theorem on spaces of homogeneous type, in the classical Calderón–Zygmund framework developed from Coifman–Weiss theory [32], [33] and the David–Journé \(T1\) viewpoint [2]. No Dunkl-specific assertion is used at this step: after chamber lifting, all Dunkl geometry has already been converted into the scalar kernel estimates on \((\mathcal{C},\|\cdot\|,d\omega|_\mathcal{C})\). In particular, the theorem is not used to construct the lifted operator; the latter has already been obtained as a weak \(L^2\)-limit. The scalar theorem is used only to pass from its entrywise associated kernels and \(L^2\)-boundedness to \(L^p\)-bounds.
Theorem 32. Let \(\mathbb{T}=(T^{ab})_{a,b=1}^M\) be bounded on \(L^2(X;\ell^2_M)\) with norm at most \(A\). Assume that each scalar entry is associated with a standard Calderón–Zygmund kernel and all scalar kernel constants are bounded by \(B\). Then, for every \(1<p<\infty\), \(\mathbb{T}\) has a unique bounded extension from \(L^p(X;\ell^p_M)\cap L^2(X;\ell^2_M)\) to \(L^p(X;\ell^p_M)\), and \[\|\mathbb{T}F\|_{L^p(X;\ell^p_M)} \le C_{p,M}(A+B)\|F\|_{L^p(X;\ell^p_M)}.\]
Proof. Let \(J_b\) denote the injection of a scalar function into the \(b\)-th coordinate of \(\ell_M^2\), and let \(P_a\) denote projection onto the \(a\)-th coordinate. Then, on \(L^2\), \[T^{ab}=P_a\mathbb{T} J_b.\] Since both \(P_a\) and \(J_b\) have norm one on \(L^2\), we have \(\|T^{ab}\|_{2\to2}\le A.\) By assumption, the kernel associated with \(T^{ab}\) has standard Calderón–Zygmund constants bounded by \(B\). The scalar Calderón–Zygmund theorem gives a bounded \(L^p\)-extension, denoted by \(\widetilde{T}^{ab}_p\), such that \[\label{eq:scalar-entry-Lp-bound} \|\widetilde{T}^{ab}_pf\|_{L^p(X)} \le C_p(A+B)\|f\|_{L^p(X)},\tag{64}\] with a constant independent of \(a,b\). On \(L^p(X)\cap L^2(X)\), this extension agrees with the original \(L^2\)-operator \(T^{ab}\).
For \(F=(F_1,\ldots,F_M)\in L^p(X;\ell_M^p)\), define \[(\widetilde{\mathbb{T}}_pF)_a :=\sum_{b=1}^M \widetilde{T}^{ab}_pF_b, \qquad a=1,\ldots,M.\] This is a finite sum of scalar \(L^p\)-operators. Pointwise in the fibre, \[\begin{align} |\widetilde{\mathbb{T}}_pF(x)|_{\ell_M^p} &=\left(\sum_{a=1}^M\left|\sum_{b=1}^M \widetilde{T}^{ab}_pF_b(x)\right|^p\right)^{1/p} \le \sum_{a=1}^M\sum_{b=1}^M |\widetilde{T}^{ab}_pF_b(x)|. \end{align}\] Taking the \(L^p(X)\)-norm and using Minkowski’s inequality gives \[\begin{align} \|\widetilde{\mathbb{T}}_pF\|_{L^p(X;\ell_M^p)} &\le \sum_{a,b=1}^M \|\widetilde{T}^{ab}_pF_b\|_{L^p(X)} \le C_p(A+B)\sum_{a,b=1}^M \|F_b\|_{L^p(X)} = C_pM(A+B)\sum_{b=1}^M \|F_b\|_{L^p(X)}. \end{align}\] Since \(M<\infty\), \[\sum_{b=1}^M\|F_b\|_{L^p(X)} \le M^{1-1/p}\left(\sum_{b=1}^M\|F_b\|_{L^p(X)}^p\right)^{1/p} =M^{1-1/p}\|F\|_{L^p(X;\ell_M^p)}.\] This proves the asserted \(L^p\)-bound for \(\widetilde{\mathbb{T}}_p\).
Finally, if \(F\in L^p(X;\ell_M^p)\cap L^2(X;\ell_M^2)\), then each \(F_b\in L^p(X)\cap L^2(X)\), and the scalar extensions agree with the original entries. Hence \[(\widetilde{\mathbb{T}}_pF)_a =\sum_{b=1}^M T^{ab}F_b =(\mathbb{T}F)_a\] for every \(a\). Thus \(\widetilde{\mathbb{T}}_p\) is the bounded \(L^p\)-extension of the original finite-dimensional operator. Uniqueness follows from the density of \(L^p\cap L^2\) in \(L^p\). ◻
Remark 33. The preceding theorem is only a finite-dimensional auxiliary estimate. The scalar Calderón–Zygmund theorem is applied separately to each entry \(T^{ab}\). The passage from the scalar estimates to the \(\ell^p_M\)-valued estimate uses only that \(M<\infty\). Thus the argument does not require an operator-valued or genuinely vector-valued Calderón–Zygmund theorem. In the Dunkl application this point is useful because the chamber lifting is not a quotient: the reflected values of a non-invariant input function are kept as finitely many coordinates.
Remark 34. The scalar Calderón–Zygmund theorem extends each entry \(T^{ab}\) from its common \(L^2\)-domain to \(L^p\). There is no compatibility problem among these extensions. On the dense subspace \(L^p(X;\ell_M^p)\cap L^2(X;\ell_M^2)\) they agree with the already constructed matrix operator \(\mathbb{T}\), since every entry is obtained by the fixed coordinate projection and injection \(P_a\mathbb{T} J_b\). The full \(L^p\)-operator is then the completion of this finite sum of scalar entries. Thus the \(L^p\)-operator is the closure of the regularized-kernel operator, not a separately defined principal-value operator.
At this point the proof has reached an ordinary Calderón–Zygmund situation on the chamber. The remaining trace of the Dunkl geometry is the finite matrix of reflected components. Since the matrix dimension is \(|G|\), the scalar estimates can be summed over the entries with constants depending only on the root system.
Proposition 35. Let \(1<p<\infty\). Then \[\label{eq:lifted-Lp-bound} \|\mathbb{T}_b^{ij}F\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C};\ell^p_{|G|})} \le C_p\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\|F\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C};\ell^p_{|G|})}.\qquad{(8)}\]
Proof. For \(1\le\rho,\tau\le |G|\), let \(P_\rho\) be the projection onto the \(\rho\)-th coordinate and let \(J_\tau\) be the injection into the \(\tau\)-th coordinate. Define \[T^{\rho\tau}:=P_\rho\mathbb{T}_b^{ij}J_\tau.\] The lifted operator is bounded on \(L^2(\mathcal{C};\ell^2_{|G|})\) by Proposition 22; hence \[\|T^{\rho\tau}\|_{L^2(\mathcal{C})\to L^2(\mathcal{C})} \le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}.\] By Corollary 4, each entry \(T^{\rho\tau}\) is associated, in the separated-support sense, with \(\mathbb{K}_b^{ij,\rho\tau}\). By Lemma 36, these scalar kernels have standard Calderón–Zygmund constants bounded by \(C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\), uniformly in \(\rho\) and \(\tau\). Thus the hypotheses of Theorem 32 are satisfied with \[A+B\le C\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}.\] Applying that finite-dimensional entrywise reduction gives \[\|\mathbb{T}_b^{ij}F\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C};\ell^p_{|G|})} \le C_p\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d} \|F\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C};\ell^p_{|G|})},\] where the dependence on \(|G|\) is absorbed into the structural constant. This is exactly ?? . ◻
Remark 36. The final estimate is first obtained on \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\cap L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\). This subspace is dense in \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\): for \(f\in L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\), the truncations \(f_{R,M}=f\mathbf{1}_{B(0,R)}\mathbf{1}_{\{|f|\le M\}}\) belong to \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\cap L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\) and converge to \(f\) in \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\). The resulting \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\)-operator is the closure of the same regularized-operator limit, not a separate principal-value definition.
Proof of Theorem 1. We first take \(f\in L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\cap L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\) and set \(F=Uf\). The map \(U\) is an isometry on \(L^p\), so \[\|F\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^p_{|G|})} = \|f\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}.\] For bounded compactly supported functions, the finite regularized operators satisfy \[U C_{\varepsilon,R}^{ij,b} U^{-1} = c\int_{\sqrt\varepsilon}^{\sqrt R}\boldsymbol{\Theta}_s\,\frac{ds}{s}.\] This identity passes to the weak \(L^2\)-limits in the following concrete sense. Let \(h,k\in L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\). Approximate them in \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\) by bounded compactly supported functions \(h_n,k_n\). The finite-truncation identity holds for \((h_n,k_n)\), and the uniform \(L^2\)-bounds from Theorem 24 and Proposition 22 allow \(n\to\infty\) at fixed truncation parameters and then in the weak limit. Consequently \[U(T_b^{ij}h)=\mathbb{T}_b^{ij}(Uh), \qquad h\in L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega).\] Applying this to the present \(f\in L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\cap L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\) gives \(U(T_b^{ij}f)=\mathbb{T}_b^{ij}(Uf).\) Therefore Proposition 35 yields \[\begin{align} \|T_b^{ij}f\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)} &= \|\mathbb{T}_b^{ij}(Uf)\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^p_{|G|})} \le C_p\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\|Uf\|_{L^p(\mathcal{C},d\omega;\ell^p_{|G|})} = C_p\|b\|_{\operatorname{Lip}_d}\|f\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)}. \end{align}\] Finally, \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\cap L^2(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\) is dense in \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\), as recalled in Remark 36. The preceding estimate therefore extends \(T_b^{ij}\) uniquely to a bounded operator on all of \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\). This extension is the \(L^p\)-closure of the same regularized-kernel weak limit. ◻
Remark 37. The chamber lifting is the only place where the full-space nature of the result enters. The symbol is orbit-invariant, but the lifted input function is an arbitrary \(\ell^p_{|G|}\)-valued function on \(\mathcal{C}\). No step imposes \(F_1=\cdots=F_{|G|}\); hence the pulled-back estimate holds on all of \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^N,d\omega)\), not only on the invariant subspace.
