Boundedness of the Maximal Function of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup on variable Lebesgue spaces with respect to the Gaussian measure and consequences

The main result of this paper is the proof of the boundedness of the Maximal Function T* of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup {Tt}t≥ 0 in Rd, on Gaussian variable Lebesgue spaces Lp(.) (γd); under a condition of regularity on p(.) following [5] and [8]. As an immediate consequence of that result, the Lp(.) (γd)-boundedness of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup {Tt}t≥ 0 in Rd is obtained. Another consequence of that result is the Lp(.) (γd)-boundedness of the Poisson-Hermite semigroup and the Lp(.) (γd)- boundedness of the Gaussian Bessel potentials of order β > 0.
