We define a partition of Z into intervals {$I$_{j}} and prove the Littlewood-Paley inequality ‖$f$‖_{$p$}≦$C$_{p}‖$Sf$‖_{$p$}, 2≦$p$<∞. Here$f$is a function on [o, 2π) and $$Sf = (\sum |\Delta _j |^2 )^{1/2} , \hat \Delta j = \hat f\chi _{Ij} $$ . This is a new example of a partition having the Littlewood-Paley property since the {$I$_{j}} are not of the type obtained by iterating lacunary partitions finitely many times.

It is shown that the Bargmann-Fock spaces of entire functions, A^{p}(C),$p$≧1 have a bounded unconditional basis of Wilson type [DJJ] which is closely related to the reproducing kernel. From this is derived a new sampling and interpolation result for these spaces.

We consider singular integral operators of the form (a)$Z$_{1}L^{−1}Z_{2}, (b)$Z$_{1}Z_{2}L^{−1}, and (c)$L$^{−1}Z_{1}Z_{2}, where$Z$_{1}and$Z$_{2}are nonzero right-invariant vector fields, and$L$is the$L$^{2}-closure of a canonical Laplacian. The operators (a) are shown to be bounded on$L$^{p}for all$p$∈(1, ∞) and of weak type (1, 1), whereas all of the operators in (b) and (c) are not of weak type ($p, p$) for any$p$∈[1, ∞).

A multidimensional extension of Bailey's transform is utilised to deduce two new generating relations of quite a general character. These expressions are then specialised to give more practical formulae in terms of Karlsson's generalised Kampé de Fériet functions which embody very many generating relations. A number of interesting special cases are given in an appendix which includes results involving Lauricella polynomials, generalised hypergeometric polynomials and the polynomials of Meixner, Charlier and Laguerre.
