Abstract
We show that any pointwise multiplier for BMO(ℝn) generates a function p from the class (ℝn) of those functions for which the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on the variable Lp space. In particular, this gives a positive answer to Diening's conjecture saying that there are discontinuous functions which nevertheless belong to (ℝn).
