Vertical and horizontal Square Functions on a Class of Non-Doubling Manifolds

We consider a class of non-doubling manifolds $\mathcal{M}$ that are the connected sum of a finite number of $N$-dimensional manifolds of the form $\mathbb{R}^{n_{i}} \times \mathcal{M}_{i}$. Following on from the work of Hassell and the second author \cite{hs2019}, a particular decomposition of the resolvent operators $(Δ+ k^{2})^{-M}$, for $M \in \mathbb{N}^{*}$, will be used to demonstrate that the vertical square function operator $Sf(x) := \left( \int^{\infty}_{0} \left|t \nabla (I + t^{2} Δ)^{-M}f(x)\right|{2} \frac{dt}{t}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ is bounded on $L^{p}(\mathcal{M})$ for $1 < p < n_{min} = \min_{i} n_{i}$ and weak-type $(1,1)$. In addition, it will be proved that the reverse inequality $\left\Vert f \right\Vert_{p} \lesssim \left\Vert S f\right\Vert_{p}$ holds for $p \in (n_{min}',n_{min})$ and that $S$ is unbounded for $p \geq n_{min}$ provided $2 M < n_{min}$. Similarly, for $M > 1$, this method of proof will also be used to ascertain that the horizontal square function operator $sf(x) := \left(\int^{\infty}_{0} \left|t^{2}Δ(I + t^{2} Δ)^{-M}f(x)\right|^{2} \, \frac{dt}{t}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ is bounded on $L^{p}(\mathcal{M})$ for all $1 < p < \infty$ and weak-type $(1,1)$. Hence, for $p \geq n_{min}$, the vertical and horizontal square function operators are not equivalent and their corresponding Hardy spaces $H^p$ do not coincide.
