Endpoint estimates for harmonic analysis operators associated with Laguerre polynomial expansions

In this paper we give a criterion to prove boundedness results for several operators from $H^1((0,\infty),\gamma_\alpha)$ to $L^1((0,\infty),\gamma_\alpha)$ and also from $L^\infty((0,\infty),\gamma_\alpha)$ to $\BMO((0,\infty),\gamma_\alpha)$, with respect to the probability measure $d\gamma_\alpha (x)=\frac{2}{\Gamma(\alpha+1)} x^{2\alpha+1} e^{-x^2} dx$ on $(0,\infty)$ when ${\alpha>-\frac12}$. We shall apply it to establish endpoint estimates for Riesz transforms, maximal operators, Littlewood-Paley functions, multipliers of Laplace transform type, fractional integrals and variation operators in the Laguerre setting.
