Inequalities for weighted spaces with variable exponents

Abstract: In this article we obtain an "off-diagonal" version of the Fefferman-Stein vector-valued maximal inequality on weighted Lebesgue spaces with variable exponents. As an application of this result and the atomic decomposition developed in [12] we prove, for certain exponents $q(\cdot)$ in $\mathcal{P}^{\log}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ and certain weights $\omega$, that the Riesz potential $I_{\alpha}$, with $0 < \alpha < n$, can be extended to a bounded operator from $H^{p(\cdot)}_{\omega}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ into $L^{q(\cdot)}_{\omega}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$, for $\frac{1}{p(\cdot)} := \frac{1}{q(\cdot)} + \frac{\alpha}{n}$.
