We prove that in a metric measure space $(X, d, \mu)$, the averaging operators $A_{r, \mu }$ satisfy a uniform strong type $(1,1)$ bound $\sup_{r, \mu} \|A_{r, \mu }\|_{L^1\to L^1} < \infty$ if and only if $X$ satisfies a certain geometric…

As shown in [A1], the lowest constants appearing in the weak type (1,1) inequalities satisfied by the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator associated to certain finite radial measures, grow exponentially fast with the dimension. Here…

We introduce a generalized inverse Gaussian setting and consider the maximal operator associated with the natural analogue of a nonsymmetric Ornstein--Uhlenbeck semigroup. We prove that it is bounded on $L^{p}$ when $p\in (1,\infty]$ and…

In this paper we study the $L^p$ boundedness of the centred and the uncentred Hardy--Littlewood maximal operators on certain Riemannian manifolds with bounded geometry. Our results complement those of various authors. We show that, under…

We explore some variants of the Boman covering lemma, and their relationship to the boundedness properties of the maximal operator. Let $1 < p < \infty$ and let $q$ be its conjugate exponent. We prove that the strong type $(q,q)$ of the…

We show that the uncentered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operators associated with the Radon measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ have the uniform lower $L^p$-bounds (independent of $\mu$) that are strictly greater than $1$, if $\mu$ satisfies a…

This is a revised version of the doctoral dissertation of the same title, written under the supervision of Professor Krzysztof Stempak in 2019. For general (possibly nondoubling) metric measure spaces various properties of the associated…

We study mapping properties of the centered Hardy--Littlewood maximal operator $\mathcal{M}$ acting on Lorentz spaces. Given $p \in (1,\infty)$ and a metric measure space $\mathfrak{X}$ we let $\Omega^p_{\rm HL}(\mathfrak{X}) \subset…

In this note we describe some recent advances in the area of maximal function inequalities. We also study the behaviour of the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator associated to certain families of doubling, radial decreasing…

Let $(X, d, \mu)$ be a space of homogeneous type and $\Omega$ an open subset of $X$. Given a bounded operator $T: L^p(\Omega) \to L^q(\Omega)$ for some $1 \le p \le q < \infty$, we give a criterion for $T$ to be of weak type $(p_0, a)$ for…

The average kissing number of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is the supremum of the average degrees of contact graphs of packings of finitely many balls (of any radii) in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We provide an upper bound for the average kissing number based on…

For Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, a bounded linear operator $T\colon X \longrightarrow Y^*$ is said to weak-star quasi attain its norm if the $\sigma(Y^*,Y)$-closure of the image by $T$ of the unit ball of $X$ intersects the sphere of radius…

The kissing number of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is the maximum number of pairwise-nonoverlapping unit spheres that can simultaneously touch a central unit sphere. Mittelmann and Vallentin (2010), based on the semidefinite programming bound of Bachoc…

We obtain sharp bounds for the modulus of continuity of the uncentered maximal function in terms of the modulus of continuity of the given function, via integral formulas. Some of the results deduced from these formulas are the following:…

We prove that the Hardy--Littlewood maximal operator $M$ is bounded on the variable Lebesgue space $L^{p(\cdot)}(X,d,\mu)$, with $1<p_-\le p_+<\infty$, over an unbounded space of homogeneous type $(X,d,\mu)$ with a Borel-semiregular measure…

Let $(\cx,\,d,\,\mu)$ be a metric measure space and satisfy the so-called upper doubling condition and the geometrically doubling condition. In this paper, the authors show that for the maximal Calder\'on-Zygmund operator associated with a…

The kissing number in n-dimensional Euclidean space is the maximal number of non-overlapping unit spheres which simultaneously can touch a central unit sphere. Bachoc and Vallentin developed a method to find upper bounds for the kissing…

Here we study what we call bounded rough Riemannian metrics $(M,g)$, which are positive definite, symmetric tensors on each tangent space, $T_pM$, which are bounded and measurable as functions in coordinates. This is enough structure to…

Let $({\mathcal X}, d, \mu)$ be a separable metric measure space satisfying the known upper doubling condition, the geometrical doubling condition and the non-atomic condition that $\mu(\{x\})=0$ for all $x\in{\mathcal X}$. In this paper,…

We consider the maximal operator with respect to uncentered cubes on Euclidean space with arbitrary dimension. We prove that for any function with bounded variation, the variation of its maximal function is bounded by the variation of the…
