We reprove Wolff's $L^{\frac{5}2}-$ bound for the $\R^3-$Kakeya maximal function without appealing to the argument of induction on scales. The main ingredient in our proof is an adaptation of Sogge's strategy used in the work on…

We show that, for odd $d$, the $L^{\frac{d+2}2}$ bounds of Sogge and Xi for the Nikodym maximal function over manifolds of constant sectional curvature, are unstable with respect to metric perturbation, in the spirit of the work of Sogge…

We consider the $L^p \rightarrow L^p$ boundedness of a Nikodym maximal function associated to a one-parameter family of tubes in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ whose directions are determined by a non-degenerate curve $\gamma$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$. These…

We extend a result of the second author \cite[Theorem 1.1]{soggekaknik} to dimensions $d \geq 3$ which relates the size of $L^p$-norms of eigenfunctions for $2<p<\frac{2(d+1)}{d-1}$ to the amount of $L^2$-mass in shrinking tubes about…

We prove a Kakeya-Nikodym bound on eigenfunctions and quasimodes, which sharpens a result of the authors and extends it to higher dimensions. As in the prior work, the key intermediate step is to prove a microlocal version of these…

We study maximal operators associated to singular averages along finite subsets $\Sigma$ of the Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(d,n)$ of $d$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb R^n$. The well studied $d=1$ case corresponds to the the directional…

We prove optimal bounds in L^2(R^2) for the maximal oper- ator obtained by taking a singular integral along N arbitrary directions in the plane. We also give a new proof for the optimal L^2 bound for the single scale Kakeya maximal…

It is shown that $SL_2$ Besicovitch sets of measure zero exist in $\mathbb{R}^3$. The proof is constructive and uses point-line duality analogously to Kahane's construction of measure zero Besicovitch sets in the plane. A corollary is that…

We prove that the maximal operator obtained by taking averages at scale 1 along $N$ arbitrary directions on the sphere, is bounded in $L^2(\R^3)$ by $N^{1/4}{\log N}$. When the directions are $N^{-1/2}$ separated, we improve the bound to…

We extend the microlocal Kakeya--Nikodym bounds for eigenfunctions of Blair--Sogge to a larger range of exponents, which is optimal in all dimensions $n\ge3$ on general manifolds. On manifolds of constant sectional curvature, we introduce a…

We shall verify the Kakeya (Nikodym) maximal operator $K_{N}$, $N\gg 1$, is bounded on the variable Lebesgue space $L^{p(\cdot)}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ when the exponent function $p(\cdot)$ is $N$-modified locally log-H\"{o}lder continuous and…

Using the polynomial method of Dvir \cite{dvir}, we establish optimal estimates for Kakeya sets and Kakeya maximal functions associated to algebraic varieties $W$ over finite fields $F$. For instance, given an $n-1$-dimensional projective…

We use Toponogov's triangle comparison theorem from Riemannian geometry along with quantitative scale oriented variants of classical propagation of singularities arguments to obtain logarithmic improvements of the Kakeya-Nikodym norms…

I show that $L^{p}-L^{q}$ estimates for the Kakeya maximal function yield lower bounds for the conformal dimension of Kakeya sets, and upper bounds for how much quasisymmetries can increase the Hausdorff dimension of line segments inside…

In 1997, Thomas Wolff proved sharp $L^3$ bounds for his circular maximal function, and in 1999, Kolasa and Wolff proved certain non-sharp $L^p$ inequalities for a broader class of maximal functions arising from curves of the form…

We adapt Guth's polynomial partitioning argument for the Fourier restriction problem to the context of the Kakeya problem. By writing out the induction argument as a recursive algorithm, additional multiscale geometric information is made…

We obtain estimates for maximal functions that arise when one studies Nikodym-type sets. We also formulate a curvature condition that allows favorable estimates for these maximal functions.

We obtain some improved essentially sharp Kakeya-Nikodym estimates for eigenfunctions in two-dimensions. We obtain these by proving stronger related microlocal estimates involving a natural decomposition of phase space that is adapted to…

It is well-known that the Fourier extension operator for the paraboloid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ cannot be weak-type bounded at the restriction endpoint $q = 2d/(d-1)$, since such an estimate would imply bounds for the Kakeya maximal function…

In this paper, we will introduce and study several types of Kakeya inequalities by the maximal functions in Hardy spaces in $\RR^n$,\,$(n\geq2)$, and we could obtain several inequalities associated with the Kakeya inequalities. We will show…
