Norm inequalities for integral operators on cones

In this dissertation we explore the $[L^{\mathrm{p}},\ L^{q}]$-boundedness of certain integral operators on weighted spaces on cones in ${\mathbb R}^{n}.$ These integral operators are of the type $\displaystyle \int_{V}k(x,\ y)f(y)dy$ defined on a homogeneous cone $V$. The results of this dissertation are then applied to an important class of operators such as Riemann-Liouville's fractional integral operators, Weyl's fractional integral operators and Laplace's operators. As special cases of the above, we obtain an ${\mathbb R}^{n}$ -generalization of the celebrated Hardy's inequality on domains of positivity. We also prove dual results.
