The Zygmund vector field maximal function conjecture is a long-standing open problem. This paper establishes a new boundedness criterion that significantly weakens the existing conditions in the literature. Specifically, the required decay…

Stein conjectured that the Hilbert transform in the direction of a vector field is bounded on, say, $L^2$ whenever $v$ is Lipschitz. We establish a wide range of $L^p$ estimates for this operator when $v$ is a measurable, non-vanishing,…

For a Schwartz function $f$ on the plane and a non-zero $v\in\ZR^2$ define the Hilbert transform of $f$ in the direction $v$ to be $$ H_vf(x)=\text{p.v.}\int_\ZR f(x-vy) \frac{dy}y $$ Let $\zeta$ be a Schwartz function with frequency…

Let v be a planar Lipschitz vector field. We prove that the r-th variation-norm Hilbert transform along v, composed with a standard Littlewood-Paley projection operator P_k, is bounded from L^2 to L^{2, \infty}, and from L^p to itself for…

For $0<\alpha<1$ let $V(\alpha)$ denote the supremum of the numbers $v$ such that every $\alpha$-H\"older continuous function is of bounded variation on a set of Hausdorff dimension $v$. Kahane and Katznelson (2009) proved the estimate $1/2…

Let $L = \Delta + V$ be a Schr\"odinger operator with a non-negative potential $V$ on a complete Riemannian manifold $M$. We prove that the vertical Littlewood-Paley-Stein functional associated with $L$ is bounded on $L^p(M)$ {\it if and…

We prove variable coefficient versions of L^p boundedness results on Hilbert transforms and maximal functions along convex curves in the plane.

Given a convex set $C$ in a real vector space $E$ and two points $x,y\in C$, we investivate which are the possible values for the variation $f(y)-f(x)$, where $f:C\longrightarrow [m,M]$ is a bounded convex function. We then rewrite the…

We study the boundedness problem for maximal operators $\M$ associated to smooth hypersurfaces $S$ in 3-dimensional Euclidean space. For $p>2,$ we prove that if no affine tangent plane to $S$ passes through the origin and $S$ is analytic,…

We show sufficient conditions on matrix weights $U$ and $V$ for the martingale transforms to be uniformly bounded from $L^2(V)$ to $L^2(U)$. We also show that these conditions imply the uniform boundedness of the dyadic shifts as well as…

Let $D$ be a nonnegative integer and ${\mathbf{\Theta}}\subset S^1$ be a lacunary set of directions of order $D$. We show that the $L^p$ norms, $1<p<\infty$, of the maximal directional Hilbert transform in the plane $$ H_{{\mathbf{\Theta}}}…

We study the boundedness of the Hilbert transform $H$ and the Hilbert maximal operator $H^*$ on weighted Lorentz spaces $\Lambda^p_u(w)$. We start by giving several necessary conditions that, in particular, lead us to the complete…

In this paper, for $1<p<\infty$, we obtain the $L^p$-boundedness of the Hilbert transform $H^{\gamma}$ along a variable plane curve $(t,u(x_1, x_2)\gamma(t))$, where $u$ is a Lipschitz function with small Lipschitz norm, and $\gamma$ is a…

To minimize or upper-bound the value of a function "robustly", we might instead minimize or upper-bound the "epsilon-robust regularization", defined as the map from a point to the maximum value of the function within an epsilon-radius. This…
