We consider here the free two step nilpotent Lie group, provided with the homogeneous Kor\'anyi norm; we prove the $L^p$-boundedness of the maximal function corresponding to the homogeneous unit sphere, for some $p$.

We introduce the bilinear Nevo-Thangavelu spherical means on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n,$ and derive $L^{p_1}(\mathbb{H}^n) \times L^{p_2}(\mathbb{H}^n) \to L^{p}(\mathbb{H}^n)$ estimates for the single-scale bilinear averaging…

We prove $L^p\to L^q$ estimates for local maximal operators associated with dilates of codimension two spheres in Heisenberg groups; these are sharp up to two endpoints. The results can be applied to improve currently known bounds on sparse…

Consider the surface measure $\mu$ on a sphere in a nonvertical hyperplane on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$, $n\ge 2$, and the convolution $f*\mu$. Form the associated maximal function $Mf=\sup_{t>0}|f*\mu_t|$ generated by the…

The aim of my PhD work is to study the $L^p$-boundedness of operators on two classes of two-step nilpotent Lie groups, using Plancherel formulas and spherical functions as tools. The first class of groups consists of the groups of…

We prove maximal ergodic theorems for spherical averages on the Heisenberg groups acting on $L_p$ spaces over measure spaces not necessarily commutative, that is, on noncommutative $L_p$ spaces. The scale of $p$ is optimal in the reduced…

In this paper we deal with lacunary and full versions of the spherical maximal function on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$, for $n\ge 2$. By suitable adaptation of an approach developed by M. Lacey in the Euclidean case, we obtain…

We observe that classical arguments of Ricci--Stein can be used to prove $L^p$ bounds for maximal functions associated to lacunary dilates of a fixed measure in the setting of homogenous groups. This recovers some recent results on averages…

Consider spherical means on the Heisenberg group with a codimension two incidence relation, and associated spherical local maximal functions $M_Ef$ where the dilations are restricted to a set $E$. We prove $L^p\to L^q$ estimates for these…

We prove the $L^p$ boundedness of the circular maximal function on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^1$ for $2<p\le \infty$. The proof is based on the square sum estimate associated with the $2\times 2$ cone $|(\xi_1',\xi_2')|=…

We establish the $L^p$ boundedness of Hilbert transforms and maximal functions along flat curves in the Heisenberg group. This generalizes the $\mathbb{R}^n$ result by Carbery, Christ, Vance, Wainger, and Watson. What is new about our…

In this paper, we give the expressions for the bounded spherical functions, or equivalently the spherical functions of positive type, for the free two-step nilpotent Lie groups endowed with the actions of orthogonal groups or their special…

We prove $L^p\to L^q$ estimates for the local maximal operator associated with dilates of the K\'oranyi sphere in Heisenberg groups. These estimates are sharp up to endpoints and imply new bounds on sparse domination for the corresponding…

Let $L$ be a sub-Laplacian on a two-step stratified Lie group $G$ of topological dimension $d$. We prove new $L^p$-spectral multiplier estimates under the sharp regularity condition $s>d\left|1/p-1/2\right|$ in settings where the group…

We study spherical analogues of Nikodym sets and related maximal functions. In particular, we prove sharp $L^p$-estimates for Nikodym maximal functions associated with spheres. As a corollary, any Nikodym set for spheres must have full…

Lebesgue space estimates are obtained for the circular maximal function on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^1$ restricted to a class of Heisenberg radial functions. Under this assumption, the problem reduces to studying a maximal operator…
