Abstract

In this paper, we use the Approximation Formula for the Fourier transform of the solution set of lattice points on k-spheres and methods of Bourgain and Ionescu to refine the l^p(Z^d)-boundedness results for discrete k- spherical maximal functions to a restricted weak-type result at the endpoint. Moreover we introduce a novel Approximation Formula for a single average; this allows us to improve our bounds for discrete k-spherical maximal functions along sparse subsequences of radii by exploiting recent progress of Wooley on the Vinogradov mean value conjectures. In particular we have improved bounds for lacunary discrete k-spherical maximal functions when k>2. We introduce a density-parameter, which may be viewed as a discrete version of Minkowski dimension used in related works on the conitnuous phenomena, to prove our results for sparse averages.
