Lipschitz linearization of the maximal hyperbolic cross multiplier

We study the linearized maximal operator associated with dilates of the hyperbolic cross multiplier in dimension two. Assuming a Lipschitz condition and a lower bound on the linearizing function, we obtain $L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{2}) \to L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{2})$ bounds for all $1<p <\infty$. We discuss various related results.
