Abstract:
In this paper, we establish the Littlewood-Paley-Stein inequality on general metric spaces %We show this inequality under a weaker condition than the lower boundedness of Bakry-Emery's $\Gamma_{2}$. We also discuss Riesz transforms. %a relationship of Sobolev norms. As examples, we deal with diffusion processes on a path space associated with stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs in short) and a class of superprocesses with immigration.

Keywords: Littlewood-Paley-Stein inequality, gradient estimate condition, Riesz transforms, SPDEs, superprocesses.
