Multi-parameter Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces associated with flag singular integrals

Though the theory of one-parameter Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces has been very well developed in the past decades, the multi-parameter counterpart of such a theory is still absent. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a theory of multi-parameter Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces using the discrete Littlewood-Paley-Stein analysis in the setting of implicit multi-parameter structure. It is motivated by the recent work of Han and Lu in which they established a satisfactory theory of multi-parameter Littlewood-Paley-Stein analysis and Hardy spaces associated with the flag singular integral operators studied by Muller-Ricci-Stein and Nagel-Ricci-Stein. We also prove the boundedness of flag singular integral operators on Triebel-Lizorkin space and Besov space. Our methods here can be applied to develop easily the theory of multi-parameter Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces in the pure product setting.
