Let
σ and
ω be positive Borel
measures on
R
with
σ doubling.
Suppose first that
1<p≤2.
We characterize boundedness of certain maximal truncations of the Hilbert transform
T♮ from
Lp(σ) to
Lp(ω) in terms of the
strengthened
Ap
condition
where
sQ(x)=∣∣Q∣∣/(∣∣Q∣∣+∣∣x−xQ∣∣),
and two testing conditions. The first applies to a restricted class of functions and is a
strong-type testing condition,
∫QT♮(χEσ)(x)pdω(x)≤C1∫Qdσ(x) for all E⊂Q,
and the second is a weak-type or dual interval testing condition,
for all intervals
Q
in
R and all
functions
f∈Lp(σ).
In the case
p>2
the same result holds if we include an additional necessary condition, the Poisson
condition
for all pairwise disjoint decompositions
Q=⋃∞r=1Ir of the dyadic
interval
Q into
dyadic intervals
Ir.
We prove that analogues of these conditions are sufficient for boundedness of certain maximal
singular integrals in
Rn
when
σ is
doubling and
1<p<∞.
Finally, we characterize the weak-type two weight inequality for certain maximal singular
integrals
T♮
in
Rn when
1<p<∞, without the doubling
assumption on
σ,
in terms of analogues of the second testing condition and the
Ap
condition.
