Extensions of the theory of tent spaces and applications to boundary value problems
We extend the theory of tent spaces from Euclidean spaces to various types of metric measure spaces. For doubling spaces we show that the usual 'global' theory remains valid, and for 'non-uniformly locally doubling' spaces (including R^n with the Gaussian measure) we establish a satisfactory local …
