We introduce the notion of \textit{Perron capacity} of a set of slopes $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}$. Precisely, we prove that if the Perron capacity of $\Omega$ is finite then the directional maximal operator associated $M_\Omega$ is not…

Let $A_tf(x)=\int f(x+ty)d\sigma(y)$ denote the spherical means in $\Bbb R^d$ ($d\sigma$ is surface measure on $S^{d-1}$, normalized to $1$). We prove sharp estimates for the maximal function $M_E f(x)=\sup_{t\in E}|A_tf(x)|$ where $E$ is a…

We obtain $L^p-$estimates for the full and lacunary maximal functions associated to the twisted bilinear spherical averages given by \[\mathfrak{A}_t(f_1,f_2)(x,y)=\int_{\mathbb S^{2d-1}}f_1(x+tz_1,y)f_2(x,y+tz_2)\;d\sigma(z_1,z_2),\;t>0,\]…

We show that the method in recent work of Roncal, Shrivastava, and Shuin can be adapted to show that certain $L^p$-improving bounds in the interior of the boundedness region for the bilinear spherical or triangle averaging operator imply…

Given any finite direction set $\Omega$ of cardinality $N$ in Euclidean space, we consider the maximal directional Hilbert transform $H_{\Omega}$ associated to this direction set. Our main result provides an essentially sharp uniform bound,…

This paper presents a lower bound for optimizing a finite sum of $n$ functions, where each function is $L$-smooth and the sum is $\mu$-strongly convex. We show that no algorithm can reach an error $\epsilon$ in minimizing all functions from…

We show that some singular maximal functions and singular Radon transforms satisfy a weak type $L\log\log L$ inequality. Examples include the maximal function and Hilbert transform associated to averages along a parabola. The weak type…

For $p\ge 2$, and $\lambda>\max\{n|\tfrac 1p-\tfrac 12|-\tfrac12, 0\}$, we prove the pointwise convergence of cone multipliers, i.e. $$ \lim_{t\to\infty}T_t^\lambda(f)\to f \text{ a.e.},$$ where $f\in L^p(\mathbb R^n)$ satisfies $supp\…

In this paper, we study the spherical maximal operator $ M_E $ over $ E\subset [1,2]$, restricted to radial functions. In higher dimensions $ d\geq 3$, we establish a complete range of $ L^p-$improving estimates for $ M_E $. In two…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact, smooth Riemannian manifold and $\{u_h\}$ be a sequence of $L^2$-normalized Laplace eigenfunctions that has a localized defect measure $\mu$ in the sense that $ M \setminus \text{supp}(\pi_* \mu) \neq \emptyset$…

Inspired by a question of Lie, we study boundedness in subspaces of $L^1(\mathbb{R})$ of oscillatory maximal functions. In particular, we construct functions in $L^1(\mathbb{R})$ which are never integrable under action of our class of…

For 24 years, it has been an open problem to obtain improved bounds, for the maximal function over a sparse sequence of discrete spherical averages, going beyond the range for the full discrete spherical maximal function. I formulate a…

Given Mikhlin-H\"ormander multipliers $m_i$, $i=1,..., N$, with uniform estimates we prove an optimal $\sqrt{\log(N+1)}$ bound in $L^p$ for the maximal function $\sup_i|\cF^{-1}[m_i\hat f]|$ and related bounds for maximal functions…

We prove a weighted inequality which controls conic Fourier multiplier operators in terms of lacunary directional maximal operators. By bounding the maximal operators, this enables us to conclude that the multiplier operators are bounded on…

We provide a near-complete classification of the Lorentz spaces $\Lambda_{\varphi}$ for which the sequence $\{S_{n}\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ of partial Fourier sums is almost everywhere convergent along lacunary subsequences. Moreover, under…

Let $L$ be a non-negative self-adjoint operator acting on the space $L^2(X)$, where $X$ is a metric measure space. Let ${ L}=\int_0^{\infty} \lambda dE_{ L}({\lambda})$ be the spectral resolution of ${ L}$ and $S_R({ L})f=\int_0^R dE_{…

We introduce a notion of (finite order) lacunarity in higher dimensions for which we can bound the associated directional maximal operators in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$, with $p>1$. In particular, we are able to treat the classes previously…

In this paper we prove a new subconvexity result for the standard L-function of a unitary cuspidal automorphic representation $\pi$ of $\text{GL}_n$, where the finite set of places $S$ with large conductors is allowed to vary, provided that…

In this paper we study a variant of the uncentred Hardy--Littlewood maximal operator on Damek--Ricci spaces in which balls are replaced by suitable half balls. Perhaps surprisingly, such modified maximal operator has better boundedness…

We derive and investigate lower bounds for the potential energy of finite spherical point sets (spherical codes). Our bounds are optimal in the following sense -- they cannot be improved by employing polynomials of the same or lower degrees…
