The separated bumps conjecture for Calderón-Zygmund operators

Let σ\sigma and ww be two weights with densities, and let 1<p<1<p<\infty. Let ABpA\in B_p and BBpB\in B_{p'}. For a Calderón-Zygmund operator TT, write Tσf=T(σf)T_\sigma f=T(\sigma f), and let [σ,w]A,p[\sigma,w]_{\overline A,p'} and [w,σ]B,p[w,\sigma]_{\overline B,p} denote the corresponding two-weight bump characteristics. The constant CTC_T is the constant defined in the source.

Separated bumps conjecture. For all Calderón-Zygmund operators TT, there holds

Tσ:Lp(σ)Lp(w)CT{[σ,w]A,p+[w,σ]B,p}.\lVert T_\sigma:L^p(\sigma)\to L^p(w)\rVert\lesssim C_T\bigl\{[\sigma,w]_{\overline A,p'}+[w,\sigma]_{\overline B,p}\bigr\}.

The implied constant depends upon the choice of AA and BB.

This conjecture asks whether the two bump conditions can occur separately, rather than in the same product as in the preceding sufficient condition. The supplied text attributes it to Cruz-Uribe, Reznikov, and Volberg; its resolution is not specified in the source.
