Paraproducts with flag singularities I. A case study

Abstract

We prove L^p estimates for a tri-linear operator, whose symbol is given by the product of two standard symbols, satisfying the well known Marcinkiewicz-Hormander-Mihlin condition. Our main result contains in particular the classical Coifman-Meyer theorem. This tri-linear operator is the simplest example of a large class of multi-linear operators, which we called "paraproducts with flag singularities".
