Abstract:This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of the norm, as a bounded operator in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, of the $n$-th Calderón commutator $T_{A,n}$ on the graph of a Lipschitz function $A:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$. We prove the estimate $\|T_{A,n}\|_{L^2\to L^2} \leq Cn\|A'\|_\infty^n$, thus formalizing a claim by Mateu and Verdera via a symmetrization strategy and the $T1$ theorem. We also show that additional regularity on $A$ yields sublinear growth in $n$. Specifically, for $A$ supported in $[0,1]$, the bound improves to a behavior of the form $\sqrt{n}\|A'\|_\infty^n$ under a Dini condition on $A'$, or if $A'$ belongs to the logarithmic Besov space $B^{1,0}_{1,1}(\mathbb{R})$. This space contains all compactly supported functions in the Sobolev spaces $H^s(\mathbb{R})$ for $0<s<1,$ as well as functions of bounded variation. These refined estimates are established through an alternative framework based on Hörmander-type conditions and interpolation, bypassing the standard $T1$ approach. Counterexamples are provided to demonstrate that the Dini and Sobolev fractional regularity conditions are incomparable.
