Mixed Weak type inequalities for pairs of weights related to the Hardy-Littlewood maximal funcion, Calder\'on-Zygmund operators and their commutators

Abstract

We study two-weight weak-type estimates for the operator $S_v f = \mathcal{T}(fv)/v$, where $\mathcal{T}$ is the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator or a Calder\'on-Zygmund operator (CZO) and $v$ is a weight. Concretely, under certain conditions on the weights involved, we prove that $S_v$ is bounded from $L^{1}(wv)$ to $L^{1,\infty} (uv)$. We also consider the corresponding inequalities when $\mathcal{T}$ is a higher-order commutator of a CZO. These types of results are inspired by the article of Sawyer in [21], (see also [17]).
