Abstract
Maz'ya and Shaposhnikova introduced a non-classical maximal operator as the maximal convolution with the vector-valued signum kernel truncated to centered balls. We construct a translation-invariant Banach space of locally integrable functions on which is bounded, but the sharp maximal operator is not. This answers one of Maz'ya's questions from a collection of 75 open problems in analysis.
