Abstract

Consider the discrete maximal function acting on 2(Z)\ell^2(\mathbb Z) functions CΛf(n):=supλΛm0f(nm)e2πiλm2m \mathcal{C}_{\Lambda} f( n ) := \sup_{ \lambda \in \Lambda} \left| \sum_{m \neq 0} f(n-m) \frac{e^{2 \pi i\lambda m^2}} {m} \right| where Λ[0,1]\Lambda \subset [0,1]. We give sufficient conditions on Λ\Lambda, met by certain kinds of Cantor sets, for this to be a bounded sublinear operator. This result is a discrete analogue of E. M. Stein's integral result, that the maximal operator below is bounded on L2(R)L^2(\mathbb R). C2f(x):=supλRf(xy)e2πiλy2y dy. \mathcal{C}_2 f(x):= \sup_{\lambda \in \mathbb R} \left| \int f(x-y) \frac{e^{2\pi i \lambda y^2}}{y} \ dy \right|. The proof of our result relies heavily on Bourgain's work on arithmetic ergodic theorems, with novel complexity arising from the oscillatory nature of the question at hand, and difficulties arising from the the parameter λ\lambda above.
