We study $L^p$ boundedness of the maximal average over dilations of a smooth hypersurface $S$. When the decay rate of the Fourier transform of a measure on $S$ is $1/2$, we establish the optimal maximal bound, which settles the conjecture…

We study the boundedness problem for maximal operators $\M$ associated to smooth hypersurfaces $S$ in 3-dimensional Euclidean space. For $p>2,$ we prove that if no affine tangent plane to $S$ passes through the origin and $S$ is analytic,…

We prove $L^p$ boundedness results, $p > 2$, for local maximal averaging operators over a smooth 2D hypersurface $S$ with either a $C^1$ density function or a density function with a singularity that grows as $|(x,y)|^{-\beta}$ for $\beta <…

Let $A_tf(x)=\int f(x+ty)d\sigma(y)$ denote the spherical means in $\Bbb R^d$ ($d\sigma$ is surface measure on $S^{d-1}$, normalized to $1$). We prove sharp estimates for the maximal function $M_E f(x)=\sup_{t\in E}|A_tf(x)|$ where $E$ is a…

We investigate $L^p$ boundedness of the maximal function defined by the averaging operator $f\to \mathcal{A}_t^s f$ over the two-parameter family of tori $\mathbb{T}_t^{s}:=\{ ( (t+s\cos\theta)\cos\phi,\,(t+s\cos\theta)\sin\phi,\,…

We prove three results concerning convolution operators and lacunary maximal functions associated to dilates of measures. First, we obtain an $H^1$ to $L^{1,\infty}$ bound for lacunary maximal operators under a dimensional assumption on the…

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…
