Real Hardy Spaces For Rn
In analysis on the real vector space Rn, the Hardy space Hp (for 0 < p ≤ ∞) consists of tempered distributions ƒ such that for some Schwartz function Φ with ∫Φ = 1, the maximal function
is in Lp(Rn), where ∗ is convolution and Φt(x) = t−nΦ(x/t). The Hp-quasinorm ||ƒ||Hp of a distribution ƒ of Hp is defined to be the Lp norm of MΦƒ (this depends on the choice of Φ, but different choices of Schwartz functions Φ give equivalent norms). The Hp-quasinorm is a norm when p ≥ 1, but not when p < 1.
If 1 < p < ∞, the Hardy space Hp is the same vector space as Lp, with equivalent norm. When p = 1, the Hardy space H1 is a proper subspace of L1. One can find sequences in H1 that are bounded in L1 but unbounded in H1, for example on the line
The L1 and H1 norms are not equivalent on H1, and H1 is not closed in L1. The dual of H1 is the space BMO of functions of bounded mean oscillation. The space BMO contains unbounded functions (proving again that H1 is not closed in L1).
If p < 1 then the Hardy space Hp has elements that are not functions, and its dual is the homogeneous Lipschitz space of order n(1/p − 1). When p < 1, the Hp-quasinorm is not a norm, as it is not subadditive. The pth power ||ƒ||Hpp is subadditive for p < 1 and so defines a metric on the Hardy space Hp, which defines the topology and makes Hp into a complete metric space.

Famous quotes containing the words real, hardy and/or spaces:
“To the real artist in humanity, what are called bad manners are often the most picturesque and significant of all.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“Why it was that upon this beautiful feminine tissue, sensitive as gossamer, and practically blank as snow as yet, there should have been traced such a coarse pattern as it was doomed to receive; why so often the coarse appropriates the finer thus, the wrong man the woman, the wrong women the man, many years of analytical philosophy have failed to explain to our sense of order.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“Every true man is a cause, a country, and an age; requires infinite spaces and numbers and time fully to accomplish his design;—and posterity seem to follow his steps as a train of clients.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
