Weak and strong types estimates for square functions associated with operators

Let $L$ be a linear operator in $L^2({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ which generates a semigroup $e^{-tL}$ whose kernels $p_t(x,y)$ satisfy the Gaussian upper bound. In this paper, we investigate several kinds of weighted norm inequalities for the conical square function $S_{\alpha ,L}$ associated with an abstract operator $L$. We first establish two-weight inequalities including bump estimates, and Fefferman-Stein inequalities with arbitrary weights. We also present the local decay estimates using the extrapolation techniques, and the mixed weak type estimates corresponding Sawyer’s conjecture by means of a Coifman-Fefferman inequality. Beyond that, we consider other weak type estimates including the restricted weak-type $(p,p)$ for $S_{\alpha ,L}$ and the endpoint estimate for commutators of $S_{\alpha ,L}$. Finally, all the conclusions aforementioned can be applied to a number of square functions associated to $L$.
