Matrix-weighted Besov-type and Triebel–Lizorkin-type spaces II: Sharp boundedness of almost diagonal operators

Abstract

This article is the second one of three successive articles of the authors on the matrix-weighted Besov-type and Triebel–Lizorkin-type spaces. In this article, we obtain the sharp boundedness of almost diagonal operators on matrix-weighted Besov-type and Triebel–Lizorkin-type sequence spaces. These results not only possess broad generality but also improve several existing related results in various special cases covered by this family of spaces. This improvement depends, on the one hand, on the notion of $A_p$-dimensions of matrix weights and their properties introduced in the first article of this series and, on the other hand, on a careful direct analysis of sequences of averages avoiding maximal operators. While a recent matrix-weighted extension of the Fefferman–Stein vector-valued maximal inequality would provide an alternative route to some of our results in the restricted range of function space parameters $p,q\in (1,\infty )$, our approach covers the full scale of exponents $p\in (0,\infty )$ and $q\in (0,\infty ]$ that is relevant in the theory of function spaces.
