We introduce a notion of maximal potentials and we prove that they form bounded operators from $L^p$ to the homogeneous Sobolev space $\dot{W}^{1,p}$ for all $n/(n-1)<p<n$. We apply this result to the problem of boundedness of the spherical…

We use the Hardy spaces for Fourier integral operators to obtain bounds for spherical maximal functions in $L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$, $n\geq2$, where the radii of the spheres are restricted to a compact interval in $(0,\infty)$. These bounds…

We investigate the $L^p$ mapping properties of maximal functions associated with analytic hypersurfaces in $\mathbb R^d$, with a particular emphasis on the role of transversality. Around points that are not transversal, we show that the…
