Boundedness of the Maximal Function of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup on variable Lebesgue spaces with respect to the Gaussian measure and consequences

Abstract

The main result of this paper is the proof of the boundedness of the Maximal Function T* of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup {Tt}t≥ 0 in Rd, on Gaussian variable Lebesgue spaces Lp(.) (γd); under a condition of regularity on p(.) following [5] and [8]. As an immediate consequence of that result, the Lp(.) (γd)-boundedness of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup {Tt}t≥ 0 in Rd is obtained. Another consequence of that result is the Lp(.) (γd)-boundedness of the Poisson-Hermite semigroup and the Lp(.) (γd)- boundedness of the Gaussian Bessel potentials of order β > 0.
