We establish the $L^p(\mathbb{R}^3)$ boundedness of the helical maximal function for the sharp range $p>3$. Our results improve the previous known bounds for $p>4$. The key ingredient is a new microlocal smoothing estimate for averages…

We prove sparse bounds for the spherical maximal operator of Magyar, Stein and Wainger. The bounds are conjecturally sharp, and contain an endpoint estimate. The new method of proof is inspired by ones by Bourgain and Ionescu, is very…

We establish $L^{p_1}(\mathbb R^d) \times \cdots \times L^{p_n}(\mathbb R^d) \rightarrow L^r(\mathbb R^d)$ bounds for spherical averaging operators $\mathcal A^n$ in dimensions $d \geq 2$ for indices $1\le p_1,\dots , p_n\le \infty$ and…

In dimension $n=1$ we obtain $L^{p_1}(\mathbb R) \times\dots\times L^{p_m}(\mathbb R)$ to $L^p(\mathbb R)$ boundedness for the multilinear spherical maximal function in the largest possible open set of indices and we provide counterexamples…

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 initiate the theory of $\ell^p$-improving inequalities for arithmetic averages over hypersurfaces and their maximal functions. In particular, we prove $\ell^p$-improving estimates for the discrete spherical averages and some of their…

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…

Integration over curved manifolds with higher codimension and, separately, discrete variants of continuous operators, have been two important, yet separate themes in harmonic analysis, discrete geometry and analytic number theory research.…

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…

For any quantity of interest in a system governed by ordinary differential equations, it is natural to seek the largest (or smallest) long-time average among solution trajectories, as well as the extremal trajectories themselves. Upper…

We define a discrete version of the bilinear spherical maximal function, and show bilinear $l^{p}(\mathbb{Z}^d)\times l^{q}(\mathbb{Z}^d) \to l^{r}(\mathbb{Z}^d)$ bounds for $d \geq 3$, $\frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} \geq \frac{1}{r}$,…

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…

Abstract convexity generalises classical convexity by considering the suprema of functions taken from an arbitrarily defined set of functions. These are called the abstract linear (abstract affine) functions. The purpose of this paper is to…

In this note, we investigate the behaviour of suprema for band-limited spherical random fields. We prove upper and lower bound for the expected values of these suprema, by means of metric entropy arguments and discrete approximations; we…

We prove an inequality for functions on the discrete cube extending the edge-isoperimetric inequality for sets. This inequality turns out to be equivalent to the following claim about random walks on the cube: Subcubes maximize 'mean first…

The aim of this work is to introduced the concept of the best one-sided approximation of unbounded functions in weighted space by using algebraic operators in terms the average modulus of smoothness. We also show an estimate of the degree…

For the spherical mean operators $\mathcal{A}_t$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge 2$, we consider the maximal functions $M_Ef =\sup_{t\in E} |\mathcal{A}_t f|$, with dilation sets $E\subset [1,2]$. In this paper we give a surprising…

We exhibit a range of $\ell ^{p}(\mathbb{Z}^d)$-improving properties for the discrete spherical maximal average in every dimension $d\geq 5$. The strategy used to show these improving properties is then adapted to establish sparse bounds,…
