Endpoint estimates for a trilinear pseudo-differential operator with flag symbols

Abstract In this paper, we establish the endpoint estimate ( 0 < p ≤ 1 {0<p\leq 1} ) for a trilinear pseudo-differential operator, where the symbol involved is given by the product of two standard symbols from the bilinear Hörmander class B ⁢ S 1 , 0 0 {BS^{0}_{1,0}} . The study of this operator is motivated from the L p {L^{p}} ( 1 < p < ∞ {1<p<\infty} ) estimates for the trilinear Fourier multiplier operator with flag singularities considered in [C. Muscalu, Paraproducts with flag singularities. I. A case study, Rev. Mat. Iberoam. 23 2007, 2, 705–742] and Hardy space estimates in [A. Miyachi and N. Tomita, Estimates for trilinear flag paraproducts on L ∞ L^{\infty} and Hardy spaces, Math. Z. 282 2016, 1–2, 577–613], and the L p {L^{p}} ( 1 < p < ∞ {1<p<\infty} ) estimates for the trilinear pseudo-differential operator with flag symbols in [G. Lu and L. Zhang, L p L^{p} -estimates for a trilinear pseudo-differential operator with flag symbols, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 66 2017, 3, 877–900]. More precisely, we will show that the trilinear pseudo-differential operator with flag symbols defined in (1.3) maps from the product of local Hardy spaces to the Lebesgue space, i.e., h p 1 × h p 2 × h p 3 → L p {h^{p_{1}}\times h^{p_{2}}\times h^{p_{3}}\rightarrow L^{p}} with 1
