The pu pose o his a icle is o demons a e he close connec ion

A Ca leson measu e is a posi i e measu e µon he uppe hal

cluding non- angen ial beha io o unc ions in he hal -space (o in a
domain) (see e.g. [51]), Hp heo y and BMO [27], boundedness o sin-
gula in eg als, squa e unc ions and maximal unc ions (e.g. [12], [22],
[35], [50], [37], [38]), geome ic measu e heo y (e.g. [24], [35], [36]),
and PDE (e.g. [3], [28], [32], [42]). Mo eo e , ia hei connec ion wi h

This a icle is mainly exposi o y. Apa om one main new esul
(a local T(b) heo em), we shall mos ly ake exis ing esul s (a omic

p o e hem in a amewo k which unifies bo h he Ca leson measu e
heo y and he heo y o ees and iles. (As such he e is some o e lap
wi h he ecen lec u e no es in [49].)
Since his is an exposi o y a icle, we shall simpli y ma e s and only
wo k in one dimension R. Also, we shall mos ly wo k in he dyadic

T ees, Ex apola ion, T(b)259
The pape is o ganized as ollows. A e se ing up he no a ion

(i.e. measu ing he ways in which BMO is close o L∞), bu om he

ees-based p oo o he (dyadic analogue o he) ex apola ion lemma
o Ca leson measu es de eloped ecen ly in [3], [32], [42]. We also gi e
an al e na e p oo o he ex apola ion lemma due o John B. Ga ne .
We hen show how BMO is also use ul in “Lp” con ex s, mainly
h ough a BMO e sion o he Calde ´on-Zygmund decomposi ion. This
ype o lemma is used o en in he ecen wo k on Ca leson’s heo em
and he bilinea Hilbe ans o m, and is implici in ea lie wo k on
Ca leson measu es and simila objec s; we illus a e his by using he
BMO Chebyshe inequali y o e-p o e he s anda d a omic decomposi-

Nex , we p o e he Ca leson embedding heo em and gi e i s usual

gi e a sho p oo o he boundedness o pa ap oduc s below L1; he
p oo is mo e di ec han ea lie p oo s in ha one does no go explici ly
h ough he T(1) heo em.
Finally, we conside Calde ´on-Zygmund ope a o s. We p o e a wo-
sided local T(b) heo em which gene alizes he exis ing local and global
T(b) heo ems [23], [4], [11], [50]; o ins ance, we can p o e he

The T(b) Theo em, in i s a ious guises, has i s oo s in a ques ion

The “T(b) Theo em” o [43] was gene alized by Da id, Jou n´e and
Semmes [23] o allow T(b),T∗(b)∈BMO (indeed, hey allowed o he
gene aliza ions as well, o example ha he e could be wo diffe en

This led o a p oo o he T(b) Theo em by cons uc ing Haa wa ele s

A e y simple p oo o a “one-sided e sion” o he T(b) Theo em was
ob ained by Semmes [50], who obse ed ha in he special case T(b)∈

A con inuous pa ame e e sion o Theo em 3.5 is a leas implici

in his wo k wi h M. A. M. Mu ay [42] on he hea equa ion in non-

ideas had also appea ed p e iously in he wo k o Da id and Semmes on

“Co ona Decomposi ion” o [24].
Roughly speaking, in applica ions o he ex apola ion me hod, he
idea is fi s o show ha some “scale-in a ian es ima e on cubes” (like a
Ca leson measu e es ima e, a BMO es ima e, o a e e se Holde o A∞
