Abstract. The author studies the commutators generated by a suitable function a(x) on R n and the oscillatory singular integral with rough kernel Ω(x)|x| n and polynomial phase, where Ω is homogeneous of degree zero on R n , and a(x) is a BMO function or a Lipschitz function. Some mapping properties of these higher order commutators on L p (R n ), which are essential improvements of some well known results, are given.
