Let χ be a space of homogeneous type of infinite measure. Let T be a singular integral operator which is bounded on Lp (χ) for some p, 1 < p < ∞. We give a sufficient condition on the kernel of T so that when a function b ∈ BMO(χ), the commutator [b, T](f) = T (bf) – bT (f) is bounded on Lp spaces for all p, 1 < p > ∞. Our condition is weaker than the usual Hörmander condition. Applications include Lp-boundedness of the commutators of BMO functions and holomorphic functional calculi of Schrödinger operators, and divergence form operators on irregular domains.
