Let(X, d, mu) be a space of homogeneous type and mu(X) = infinity. Under the assumptions that the measure mu satisfies the Volume regularity property (P) and the Lusin-area function S is bounded on L-2(X), the authors prove, without invoking any regularity on the kernels considered, that if f belongs to BMO(X), S(f) is either infinite everywhere or finite almost everywhere, and in the latter case, [S(f)](2) is bounded from BMO(X) into its proper subspace BLO(X). As an application, the authors also obtain the boundedness on L-p(mu) with P is an element of (2, infinity) for the operator S. Furthermore, exploiting the L-p(X)-boundedness of S, the authors prove that if f belongs to a certain Campanato space epsilon(alpha-p)(X) with suitable indices, S(f) is either infinite everywhere or finite almost everywhere, and in the latter case, [S(f)](2) is bounded from epsilon(alpha.p)(X) into epsilon(2 alpha.p/2)(*) (X). Moreover, the authors establish corresponding results for the Littlewood-Paley g(lambda)* function without invoking any regularity of the kernels considered and the property (P) of X. The authors also show that epsilon(alpha,p)(*)(X) is a proper subspace of epsilon(alpha,p)(X) with suitable indices.
