The aim of this paper is to establish the intrinsic square function characterizations in terms of the intrinsic Littlewood–Paley g-function, the intrinsic Lusin area function, and the intrinsic gλ∗-function of the variable Hardy–Lorentz space Hp⋅,qℝn, for p⋅ being a measurable function on ℝn satisfying 0<p−≔ess infx∈ℝnpx≤ess supx∈ℝnpx≕p+<∞ and the globally log-Hölder continuity condition and q∈0,∞, via its atomic and Littlewood–Paley function characterizations.
