Abstract

We show that if \(v\in A_\infty \) and \(u\in A_1\), then there is a constant c depending on the \(A_1\) constant of u and the \(A_{\infty }\) constant of v such that

$$\begin{aligned} \left\| \frac{ T(fv)}{v}\right\| _{L^{1,\infty }(uv)}\le c\, \Vert f\Vert _{L^1(uv)}, \end{aligned}$$

where T can be the Hardy–Littlewood maximal function or any Calderón–Zygmund operator. This result was conjectured in Cruz-Uribe et al. (Int Math Res Not 30:1849–1871, 2005) and constitutes the most singular case of some extensions of several problems proposed by Sawyer and Muckenhoupt and Wheeden. We also improve and extends several quantitative estimates.
