1 Introduction
In recent years, the study of function spaces associated with Hermite operators has inspired great interest. Dziubański [
7] introduced the Hardy space
\(H_{L}^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\),
\(0< p\leq1\), by using the heat maximal function and established its atomic characterization. Dziubański et al. [
8] and Yang et al. [
20] introduced and studied some BMO spaces and Morrey–Campanato spaces associated with operators. Deng et al. [
5] introduced the space
\(\mathit{VMO}_{L}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) and proved that
\((\mathit{VMO}_{L}(\mathbb {R}^{d}))^{*}=H_{L}^{1}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\). Moreover, recently, Jiang et al. in [
14] defined the predual spaces of Banach completions of Orlicz–Hardy spaces associated with operators. Bui et al. [
3] considered the Besov and Triebel–Lizorkin spaces associated with Hermite operators.
One of the main purposes of studying the function spaces is to give the equivalent characterizations of them, for example, square functions characterizations for Hardy spaces [
10], Carleson measure characterizations for BMO spaces [
8] or Morry–Campanato spaces [
6]. The aim of this paper is to give characterizations of the dual spaces and predual spaces of the Hardy spaces
\(H_{L}^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) by a new version of Carleson measure. Now, let us review some known facts about the function spaces for
L.
Let
L be the basic Schrödinger operator in
\(\mathbb {R}^{d}\),
\(d\geq 1\), the harmonic oscillator
\(L=-\Delta+|x|^{2}\). Let
\(\{T_{t}^{L}\}_{t>0}\) be a semigroup of linear operators generated by −
L and
\(K_{t}^{L}(x,y)\) be their kernels. The Feynman–Kac formula implies that
$$ 0\leq K_{t}^{L}(x,y)\leq\widetilde{T_{t}}(x,y)=(4 \pi t)^{-\frac{d}{2}}\exp \biggl(-\frac{|x-y|^{2}}{4t} \biggr). $$

Dziubański [
7] defined Hardy space
\(H_{L}^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{d})\),
\(0< p\leq1\) as
$$H_{L}^{p}\bigl(\mathbb{R}^{d}\bigr)= \bigl\{ f\in \mathcal{S}'\bigl(\mathbb{R}^{d}\bigr): Mf\in L^{p}\bigl(\mathbb{R}^{d}\bigr) \bigr\} , $$
where
$$Mf(x)=\sup_{t>0} \bigl\vert T_{t}^{L}f(x) \bigr\vert . $$
The norm of Hardy space
\(H_{L}^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{d})\) is defined by
\(\|f\|_{H_{L}^{p}}=\|Mf\|_{L^{p}}\).
Let
\(\rho(x)=\frac{1}{1+|x|}\) be the auxiliary function defined in [
17]. This auxiliary function plays an important role in the estimates of the operators and in the description of the spaces associated with
L. Then, for
\(\frac{d}{d+1}< p\leq1\) and
\(1\leq q\leq\infty\), a function
a is an
\(H_{L}^{p, q}\)-atom for the Hardy space
\(H_{L}^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) associated with a ball
\(B(x_{0},r)\) if
$$\begin{aligned} (1)&\quad \operatorname{supp} a\subset B(x_{0},r), \\ (2)&\quad \|a\|_{L^{q}}\leq \bigl\vert B(x_{0},r) \bigr\vert ^{\frac{1}{q}-\frac{1}{p}}, \\ (3)&\quad \mbox{if }r< \rho(x_{0}), \mbox{then } \int a(x)\,dx=0. \end{aligned}$$
The atomic quasi-norm in
\(H_{L}^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) is defined by
$$\|f\|_{L\text{-atom},q}=\inf \Bigl\{ \Bigl(\sum|c_{j}|^{p} \Bigr)^{1/p} \Bigr\} , $$
where the infimum is taken over all decompositions
\(f=\sum c_{j}a_{j}\) and
\(a_{j}\) are
\(H_{L}^{p, q}\)-atoms.
The atomic decomposition for
\(H_{L}^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{d})\) is as follows (see [
7]).
We define Campanato space associated with
L as (cf. [
1] or [
20]).
The duality of
\(H_{L}^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) and
\(\Lambda_{d(1/p-1)}^{L}\) can be found in [
12] or [
20].
In order to give the Carleson measure characterization of
\(\Lambda _{d(1/p-1)}^{L}\), we need some notations of the tent spaces (cf. [
4]).
Let
\(0< p<\infty\) and
\(1\leq q\leq\infty\). Then the tent space
\(T^{p}_{q}\) is defined as the space of functions
f on
\(\mathbb {R}^{d+1}_{+}\) so that
$$\biggl( \int_{\Gamma(x)} \bigl\vert f(y,t) \bigr\vert ^{q} \frac{dy\,dt}{t^{d+1}} \biggr)^{1/q}\in L^{p}\bigl(\mathbb {R}^{d}\bigr), \quad \text{when } 1\leq q< \infty, $$
and
$$\sup_{(y,t)\in\Gamma(x)} \bigl\vert f(y,t) \bigr\vert \in L^{p}\bigl(\mathbb {R}^{d}\bigr),\quad \text{when } q=\infty, $$
where
\(\Gamma(x)\) is the standard cone whose vertex is
\(x\in\mathbb {R}^{d}\), i.e.,
$$\Gamma(x)=\bigl\{ (y,t):|y-x|< t\bigr\} . $$
Assume that
\(B(x_{0},r)\) is a ball in
\(\mathbb {R}^{d}\), its tent
B̂ is defined by
\(\widehat{B}=\{(x,t):|x-x_{0}|\leq r-t\}\). A function
\(a(x,t)\) that is supported in a tent
B̂,
B is a ball in
\(\mathbb {R}^{d}\), is said to be an atom in the tent space
\(T^{p}_{2}\) if it satisfies
$$\biggl( \int_{\widehat{B}} \bigl|a(x,t) \bigr|^{2}\frac{dx\,dt}{t} \biggr)^{1/2}\leq |B|^{1/2-1/p}. $$
The atomic decomposition of
\(T^{p}_{2}\) is stated as follows.
Let
$$T_{2}^{p,\infty}= \bigl\{ f(x,t): \text{measurable on } \mathbb {R}_{+}^{d+1} \text{ and } \|f\|_{T_{2}^{p,\infty}}< \infty \bigr\} , $$
where
$$\|f\|_{T_{2}^{p,\infty}}=\sup_{B\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}}\frac {1}{|B|^{1/p-1/2}} \biggl( \int_{\widehat{B}} \bigl\vert f(x,t) \bigr\vert ^{2} \frac{dx\,dt}{t} \biggr)^{1/2}. $$
Assume
\(0< p\leq1\), we say a function
\(f\in T_{2}^{p,\infty}\) belongs to the space
\(T_{2, 0}^{p,\infty}\) if
f satisfies
\(\eta_{1}(f)=\eta_{1}2(f)=\eta_{3}(f)=0\), where
$$\begin{aligned}& \eta_{1}(f)=\lim_{r\rightarrow0}\sup_{B\subset\mathbb{R}^{d} r_{B}< r} \frac{1}{|B|^{1/p-1/2}} \biggl( \int_{\widehat{B}} \bigl\vert f(x,t) \bigr\vert ^{2} \frac{dx\,dt}{t} \biggr)^{1/2}; \\& \eta_{2}(f)=\lim_{r\rightarrow\infty}\sup_{B\subset\mathbb{R}^{d} r_{B}\geq r} \frac{1}{|B|^{1/p-1/2}} \biggl( \int_{\widehat{B}} \bigl\vert f(x,t) \bigr\vert ^{2} \frac{dx\,dt}{t} \biggr)^{1/2}; \\& \eta_{3}(f)=\lim_{r\rightarrow\infty}\sup_{B\subset B(0,r)^{c}} \frac{1}{|B|^{1/p-1/2}} \biggl( \int_{\widehat{B}} \bigl\vert f(x,t) \bigr\vert ^{2} \frac{dx\,dt}{t} \biggr)^{1/2}. \end{aligned}$$
Let \(\widetilde{T_{2}^{p}}=\{F(x,t)=\sum_{i}\lambda_{i}a_{i}(x,t): a_{i}(x,t) \text{are } T_{2}^{p} \text{ atoms and } \sum_{i}|\lambda_{i}|^{p}<\infty\}\) and \(\|F\|_{\widetilde{T_{2}^{p}}}=\inf\{ (\sum_{i}|\lambda_{i}|^{p} )^{1/p}: F(x,t)=\sum_{i}\lambda_{i}a_{i}(x,t)\}\). Then \(\widetilde{T_{2}^{p}}\) is a Banach space. In fact, it is the completeness of \(T_{2}^{p}\). Especially, \(\widetilde{T_{2}^{1}}=T_{2}^{1}\).
In [
19], the author proved the following result.
Let
\(\{P_{t}^{L}\}_{t>0}\) be the semigroup of linear operators generated by
\(-\sqrt{L}\) and
\(D_{t}^{L}f(x)=t|\nabla P_{t}^{L}f |(x)\), where
\(\nabla=(\partial_{t},\partial_{x_{1}},\ldots,\partial _{x_{d}})\). The Carleson measure characterization of the Campanato space
\(\Lambda_{d(1/p-1)}^{L}\) as (cf. [
6]).
The predual space of the classical Hardy space has been studied in [
19] and [
16].
The dual space of
\(\lambda_{d(1/p-1)}^{L}\) is
\(B_{L}^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{d})\), which is the completeness of
\(H_{L}^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{d})\) (cf. [
14]).
We can give a Carleson measure characterization of
\(\lambda_{d(1/p-1)}^{L}\) as follows (see [
14]).
Let
\(A_{j}=\partial_{x_{j}}+x_{j}\) and
\(A_{-j}=\partial_{x_{j}}-x_{j}\) for
\(j=1,2,\ldots, d\). Then
$$L= \sum_{j=1}^{d} A_{j}A_{-j}+A_{-j}A_{j}. $$
Therefore, in the harmonic analysis associated with
L, the operators
\(A_{j}\) play the role of the classical partial derivatives
\(\partial _{x_{j}}\) in the Euclidean harmonic analysis (see [
2,
11,
18]). Now, it is natural to consider the derivatives
\(A_{i}\) other than
\(\partial_{x_{j}}\). In [
13], the author defined the Lusin area integral operator by
\(A_{j}\) and characterized the Hardy space
\(H_{L}^{1}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\). As a continuous study of the function spaces associated with
L, in this paper we will define the Carleson measure by
\(A_{j}\) and characterize the dual spaces and predual spaces of
\(H_{L}^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\). Moreover, let
\(Q_{t}^{L}f(x)=t|\tilde{\nabla} P_{t}^{L}f |(x)\), where
\(\tilde {\nabla}=(\partial_{t},A_{-1},\ldots,A_{-d}, A_{1},\ldots,A_{d})\). Then the main results of this paper can be stated as follows.
The paper is organized as follows. In Sect.
2, we give some estimates of the kernels. In Sect.
3, we give the proof of Theorem
1. The proofs of Theorem
2 will be given in Sect.
4.
Throughout the article, we will use A and C to denote the positive constants, which are independent of the main parameters and may be different at each occurrence. By \(B_{1} \sim B_{2}\), we mean that there exists a constant \(C>1\) such that \(\frac{1}{C} \leq \frac{B_{1}}{B_{2}}\leq C\).
