Sparse domination implies convex body domination

If a bilinear form admits an (r,s)(r,s)-sparse bound, its coordinate-wise extension to Cn\mathbb C^n-valued functions admits an (r,s)(r,s)-convex body sparse bound, for 1≤r,s<∞1\le r,s<\infty with 1r+1s>1\tfrac1r+\tfrac1s>1. It holds both in a fixed dyadic lattice (Theorem 2.6, constants independent of the ambient dimension) and for arbitrary cubes (Theorem 3.4), via a randomization of the good part of the form. On scope, two things separate. What Nazarov, Petermichl, Treil and Volberg proposed was the principle for the classical sparse setting, and that is settled outright, the hypothesis holding comfortably there. The (r,s)(r,s) range is the authors' own generalization beyond what was asked, and the restriction bites only inside it, leaving 1r+1s≤1\tfrac1r+\tfrac1s\le1 open. Their summary: "we provide a proof of the full general statement". It also gives sparse domination for iterated commutators directly from that of the underlying form. The dependence on nn is not claimed optimal.
