The original proof of this result by the first author relied on a subtle and rather difficult reduction to a testing condition by the last three authors. Here we replace this reduction by a new weighted norm bound for dyadic shifts - linear in the $A_2$ norm of the weight and quadratic in the complexity of the shift -, which is based on a new quantitative two-weight inequality for the shifts. These sharp one- and two-weight bounds for dyadic shifts are the main new results of this paper. They are obtained by rethinking the corresponding previous results of Lacey-Petermichl-Reguera and Nazarov-Treil-Volberg. To complete the proof of the $A_2$ conjecture, we also provide a simple variant of the representation, already in the original proof, of an arbitrary Calderon-Zygmund operator as an average of random dyadic shifts and random dyadic paraproducts. This method of the representation amounts to the refinement of the techniques from nonhomogeneous Harmonic Analysis.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-12-08T14:14:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42B20", "42B35", "47A30" ], "keywords": [ "sharp weighted estimates", "conjecture", "original proof", "arbitrary calderon-zygmund operator", "random dyadic shifts" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 38, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1010.0755H" } } }
