Denote by γ the Gauss measure on ℝ n and by the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator. In this paper we introduce a Hardy space of Goldberg type and show that for each u in ℝ ∖ {0} and r  > 0 the operator is unbounded from to L 1 γ. This result is in sharp contrast both with the fact that is bounded from H 1 γ to L 1 γ, where H 1 γ denotes the Hardy type space introduced in Mauceri and Meda (J Funct Anal 252:278–313, 2007 ), and with the fact that in the Euclidean case is bounded from the Goldberg space to L 1 ℝ n . We consider also the case of Riemannian manifolds M with Riemannian measure μ . We prove that, under certain geometric assumptions on M , an operator , bounded on L 2 μ , and with a kernel satisfying certain analytic assumptions, is bounded from H 1 μ to L 1 μ if and only if it is bounded from to L 1 μ . Here H 1 μ denotes the Hardy space introduced in Carbonaro et al. (Ann Sc Norm Super Pisa, 2009 ), and is defined in Section 4, and is equivalent to a space recently introduced by M. Taylor (J Geom Anal 19(1):137–190, 2009 ). The case of translation invariant operators on homogeneous trees is also considered.
