In this paper we introduce spaces of BLO-type related to Laguerre polynomial expansions. We consider the probability measure on (0, ∞) defined by dγα(x) = 2 Γ(α+1) e −x 2 x 2α+1 dx with α > − 1 2 . For every a > 0, the space BLOa((0, ∞), γα) consists of all those measurable functions defined on (0, ∞) having bounded lower oscillation with respect to γα over an admissible family Ba of intervals in (0, ∞). The space BLOa((0, ∞), γα) is a subspace of the space BMOa((0, ∞), γα) of bounded mean oscillation functions with respect to γα and Ba. The natural a-local centered maximal function defined by γα is bounded from BMOa((0, ∞), γα) into BLOa((0, ∞), γα). We prove that the maximal operator, the ρ-variation and the oscillation operators associated with local truncations of the Riesz transforms in the Laguerre setting are bounded from L ∞ ((0, ∞), γα) into BLOa((0, ∞), γα). Also, we obtain a similar result for the maximal operator of local truncations for spectral Laplace transform type multipliers.
