Abstract

We show that the classical \(A_{\infty }\) condition is not sufficient for a lower square function estimate in the non-homogeneous weighted \(L^2\) space. We also show that under the martingale \(A_2\) condition, an estimate holds true, but the optimal power of the characteristic jumps from 1 / 2 to 1 even when considering the classical \(A_2\) characteristic. This is in a sharp contrast to known estimates in the dyadic homogeneous setting as well as the recent positive results in this direction on the discrete time non-homogeneous martingale transforms. Last, we give a sharp \(A_{\infty }\) estimate for the n-adic homogeneous case, growing with n.
