Abstrakt
We investigate two types of boundedness criteria for bilinear Fourier multiplier operators with symbols with bounded partial derivatives of all (or sufficiently many) orders. Theorems of the first type explicitly prescribe only a certain rate of decay of the symbol itself while theorems of the second type require, in addition, the same rate of decay of all derivatives of the symbol.
We show that even though these two types of bilinear multiplier theorems are closely related, there are some fundamental differences between them which arise in limiting cases. Also, since theorems of the latter type have so far been studied mainly in connection with the more general class of bilinear pseudodifferential operators, we revisit them in the special case of bilinear Fourier multipliers, providing also some improvements of the existing results in this setting.
