We study the boundedness problem for maximal operators $\mathcal{M}$ associated to averages along families of hypersurfaces $S$ of finite type in $\mathbb{R}^n.$ In this paper, we prove that if $S$ is a finite type hypersurface which is of…

Fourier restriction theorems, whose study had been initiated by E.M. Stein, usually describe a family of a priori estimates of the L^q-norm of the restriction of the Fourier transform of a function f in L^p (say, on Euclidean space) to a…

In this paper we prove that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on Morrey spaces $\mathcal{M}_{1,\lambda}(\rn)$, $0 \le \la < n$ for radial, decreasing functions on $\rn$

For a function $f\in L^p(\Bbb R^d)$, $d\ge 2$, let $A_t f(x)$ be the mean of $f$ over the sphere of radius $t$ centered at $x$. Given a set $E\subset (0,\infty)$ of dilations we prove endpoint bounds for the maximal operator $M_E$ defined…

The distance between convex bodies \(K, L \subseteq \R^n\) is defined as \[ d(K,L)= \inf \left\{ \lambda \ge 1: \ L-x \subseteq T (K-y) \subseteq \lambda (L-x) \right\}, \] where the infimum is taken over all \(x,y \in \R^n\) and all…

Given a discrete function $f:\Z^d \to \R$ we consider the maximal operator $$Mf(\vec{n}) = \sup_{r\geq0} \frac{1}{N(r)} \sum_{\vec{m} \in \bar{\Omega}_r} \big|f(\vec{n} + \vec{m})\big|,$$ where $\big\{\bar{\Omega}_r\big\}_{r \geq 0}$ are…

Motivated by the recent approach of Milman, Shabelman, and Yehudayoff \cite{MilmanShabelmanYehudayoff2025}, we establish, for $p\geq 1$, a complete characterization of the fixed points of the composition of the $L_p$-centroid operator and…

We introduce the centred and the uncentred triangular maximal operators $\mathcal T$ and $\mathcal U$, respectively, on any locally finite tree in which each vertex has at least three neighbours. We prove that both $\mathcal T$ and…

We study the boundedness problem for maximal operators $\mathbb{M}_{\sigma}$ associated to flat plane curves with Mitigating factors, defined by $$\mathbb{M}_{\sigma}f(x) \, := \, \sup_{1 \leq t \leq 2} \left|\int_{0}^{1} f(x-t\Gamma(s)) \,…

We study the boundedness problem for maximal operators $\mathbb{M}$ associated to averages along families of finite type curves in the plane, defined by $$\mathbb{M}f(x) \, := \, \sup_{1 \leq t \leq 2} \left|\int_{\mathbb{C}} f(x-ty) \,…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $f : \partial K \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+$ a continuous, strictly positive function with $\int\limits_{\partial K} f(x) d \mu_{\partial K}(x) = 1$. We give an upper bound for the approximation…

We study the $L^p$ mapping properties of the strong spherical maximal function, which is a multiparameter generalisation of Stein's spherical maximal function. We show that this operator is bounded on $L^p$ for $p > 2$ in all dimensions $n…

We prove that for every convex body $K$ with the center of mass at the origin and every $\varepsilon\in \left(0,\frac{1}{2}\right)$, there exists a convex polytope $P$ with at most $e^{O(d)}\varepsilon^{-\frac{d-1}{2}}$ vertices such that…

A (d,k) set is a subset of R^d containing a translate of every k-dimensional plane. Bourgain showed that for 2^{k-1}+k \geq d, every (d,k) set has positive Lebesgue measure. We give an L^p bound for the corresponding maximal operator.

Let $f\in L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)$, $d\ge 3$, and let $A_t f(x)$ the average of $f$ over the sphere with radius $t$ centered at $x$. For a subset $E$ of $[1,2]$ we prove close to sharp $L^p\to L^q$ estimates for the maximal function $\sup_{t\in…

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 consider maximal kernel-operators on abstract measure spaces $(X,\mu)$ equipped with a ball-basis. We prove that under certain asymptotic condition on the kernels those operators maps boundedly BMO(X) into BLO(X), generalizing the…

We study the problem of whether the centered Hardy--Littlewood maximal function of a singular function is absolutely continuous. For a parameter $d \in (0,1)$ and a closed set $E\subset [0,1]$, let $\mu$ be a $d$-Ahlfors regular measure…

We prove that maximal operators of convolution type associated to smooth kernels are bounded in the homogeneous Hardy-Sobolev spaces $\dot{H}^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ when $1/p < 1+1/d$. This range of exponents is sharp. As a by-product of the…

Let $M$ be a manifold with ends constructed in \cite{GS} and $\Delta$ be the Laplace-Beltrami operator on $M$. In this note, we show the weak type $(1,1)$ and $L^p$ boundedness of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function and of the maximal…
