The Muckenhoupt–Wheeden two-weight conjecture for Calderón–Zygmund operators

Let 1<p<1<p<\infty, let p=p/(p1)p'=p/(p-1), let uu and vv be weights, and let TT be a Calderón–Zygmund operator. Write M:Lp(u)Lp(v)M:L^p(u)\to L^p(v) for boundedness of the maximal operator between the indicated weighted spaces. Muckenhoupt–Wheeden two-weight conjecture. If

M:Lp(u)Lp(v)M:L^p(u)\to L^p(v)

and

M:Lp(v1p)Lp(u1p),M:L^{p'}(v^{1-p'})\to L^{p'}(u^{1-p'}),

then

T:Lp(u)Lp(v).T:L^p(u)\to L^p(v).

This conjecture sought to characterize weighted boundedness of Calderón–Zygmund operators through the corresponding two maximal-operator inequalities. The conjecture is refuted by counterexamples in the paper, so the two maximal bounds do not suffice for the asserted strong-type bound.
