This note is a continuation of the author's paper \cite{Li}. We prove that if the metric $g$ of a 4-manifold has bounded Ricci curvature and the curvature has no local concentration everywhere, then it can be smoothed to a metric with…

Let $G = - \Delta_{\xi} - |\xi|^2 \frac{\partial^2}{\partial \eta^2}$ be the Grushin operator on $\R^n \times \R.$ We prove that the Riesz transforms associated to this operator are bounded on $L^p (\R^{n+1}), 1 < p < \infty$ and their…

In our previous paper \cite{Li2010}, we proved a martingale transform representation formula for the Riesz transforms on forms over complete Riemannian manifolds, and proved some explicit $L^p$-norm estimates for the Riesz transforms on…

We prove new sharp $L^p$, logarithmic, and weak-type inequalities for martingales under the assumption of differentially subordination. The $L^p$ estimates are "Fyenman-Kac" type versions of Burkholder's celebrated martingale transform…

Analogous of Riesz potentials and Riesz transforms are defined and studied for the Dunkl transform associated with a family of weighted functions that are invariant under a reflection group. The $L^p$ boundedness of these operators is…
