John-Nirenberg Inequalities and Weight Invariant BMO Spaces

Abstract

This work explores new deep connections between John-Nirenberg type inequalities and Muckenhoupt weight invariance for a large class of $BMO$-type spaces. The results are formulated in a very general framework in which $BMO$ spaces are constructed using a base of sets, used also to define weights with respect to a non-negative measure (not necessarily doubling), and an appropriate oscillation functional. This includes as particular cases many different function spaces on geometric settings of interest. As a consequence the weight invariance of several $BMO$ and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces considered in the literature is proved. Most of the invariance results obtained under this unifying approach are new even in the most classical settings.
