We find the exact value of the best possible constant $C$ for the weak type $(1,1)$ inequality for the one dimensional centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator. We prove that $C$ is the largest root of the quadratic equation…

We provide an example of a pair of weights $(u,v)$ for which the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function is bounded from $L^p(v)$ to $L^p(u)$ and from $L^{p'}(u^{1-p'})$ to $L^{p'}(v^{1-p'})$ while a dyadic sparse operator is not bounded on the…

We prove the continuity of the map $f \mapsto (Mf)'$ from $W^{1,1}(\mathbb{R})$ to $L^1(\mathbb{R})$, where $M$ is the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator. This solves a question posed by Carneiro, Madrid and Pierce.

For $m \geq 2$, let $(\mathbb{Z}_{m+1}^N, |\cdot|)$ denote the group equipped with the so-called $l^0$ metric, \[ |y| = \left| \big( y(1), \dots, y(N) \big) \right| := | \{1 \leq i \leq N : y(i) \neq 0 \} |,\] and define the…

Let $d \ge 2$, and let $K \subset {\Bbb{R}}^d$ be a convex body containing the origin $0$ in its interior. In a previous paper we have proved the following. The body $K$ is $0$-symmetric if and only if the following holds. For each $\omega…

Let $S_n f$ be the $n$th partial sum of the Fourier series of a function $f$ in $L^1(\D)$, where $\D$ is the ring of integers of a local field $K$. For $1<p<\infty$, we characterize all weight functions $w$ so that the partial sum operators…

In this paper we consider weighted Morrey spaces ${\mathcal M}_{\lambda, {\mathcal F}}^p(w)$ adapted to a family of cubes ${\mathcal F}$, with norm $$\|f\|_{{\mathcal M}_{\lambda, {\mathcal F}}^p(w)}:=\sup_{Q\in {\mathcal…

We study the regularity of the bilinear maximal operator when applied to Sobolev functions, proving that it maps $W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}) \times W^{1,q}(\mathbb{R}) \to W^{1,r}(\mathbb{R})$ with $1 <p,q < \infty$ and $r\geq 1$, boundedly and…

In this paper we study the boundedness on $L^p(w)$ of the maximal operator $M_{A^{-1}}$, defined by $M_{A^{-1}}f(x)=Mf(A^{-1}x)$, that is, the maximal of Hardy-Littlewood composed with a invertible matrix $A$. We present two different…

In this paper we study the covering numbers of the space of convex and uniformly bounded functions in multi-dimension. We find optimal upper and lower bounds for the $\epsilon$-covering number of $\C([a, b]^d, B)$, in the $L_p$-metric, $1…

Let $\lambda_{\phi}(n)$ be the Fourier coefficients of a Hecke holomorphic or Hecke--Maass cusp form on ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$, and $f$ be any multiplicative function that satisfies two mild hypotheses. We establish a non-trivial upper…

Suppose that $f$ belongs to a suitably defined complete metric space $ {{\cal C}}^{{\alpha}}$ of H\"older $ {\alpha}$-functions defined on $[0,1]$. We are interested in whether one can find large (in the sense of Hausdorff, or lower/upper…

We study maximal functions related to homogeneous polynomial hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$. In a sense made precise in this paper, the region of $(p,q)$ for which we obtain $L^p\rightarrow L^q$ boundedness is optimal up to the endpoints…

The Hardy-Littlewood maximal function $\mathcal{M}$ and the trigonometric function $\sin{x}$ are two central objects in harmonic analysis. We prove that $\mathcal{M}$ characterizes $\sin{x}$ in the following way: let $f \in…

Denote by ${\mathcal K}^d$ the family of convex bodies in $E^d$ and by $w(C)$ the minimal width of $C \in {\mathcal K}^d$. We ask for the greatest number $\Lambda_n ({\mathcal K}^d)$ such that every $C \in {\mathcal K}^d$ contains a…

We present an alternative approach to some results of Koldobsky on measures of sections of symmetric convex bodies, which allows us to extend them to the not necessarily symmetric setting. We prove that if $K$ is a convex body in ${\mathbb…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R} ^d$, with $d = 2,3$. We determine sharp sufficient conditions for a set $E$ composed of $1$, $2$, or $3$ points of ${\rm bd}K$, to contain at least one endpoint of a diameter of $K$ (for $d=2,3$). We…

For a Minkowski centered convex compact set $K$ we define $\alpha(K)$ to be the smallest possible factor to cover $K \cap (-K)$ by a rescalation of $\mathrm{conv} (K\cup (-K))$ and give a complete description of the possible values of…

In this article, we address endpoint issues for the bilinear spherical maximal functions. We obtain borderline restricted weak type estimates for the well studied bilinear spherical maximal function…

We study generalized Poincar\'e inequalities. We prove that if a function satisfies a suitable inequality of Poincar\'e type, then the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function also obeys a meaningful estimate of similar form. As a by-product, we…
