Abstract

The Lorentz-Zygmund spaces Lpa(log L)α are a class of function spaces containing as special cases the classical Lebesgue spaces Lp, the Lorentz spaces Lpa and the Zygmund spaces Lp(log L)α. It is shown here that the Lorentz-Zygmund spaces provide the correct framework for the interpolation theory of weak type operators. The interpolation principles established here unify many classical results in harmonic analysis. In particular, there are applications to the Fourier transform, the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator, the Hilbert transform, and the Weyl fractional integrals.
