Let $\sigma=(\sigma_{1},\sigma_{2},\dots,\sigma_{n})\in \mathbb{S}^{n-1}$ and $d\sigma$ denote the normalised Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb{S}^{n-1},~n\geq 2$. For functions $f_1, f_2,\dots,f_n$ defined on $\R$ consider the multilinear…

In this article, we continue the study of the problem of $L^p$-boundedness of the maximal operator $M$ associated to averages along isotropic dilates of a given, smooth hypersurface $S$ of finite type in 3-dimensional Euclidean space. An…

We study the regularity properties of the centered fractional maximal function $M_{\beta}$. More precisely, we prove that the map $f \mapsto |\nabla M_\beta f|$ is bounded and continuous from $W^{1,1}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ to $L^q(\mathbb{R}^d)$…

For 24 years, it has been an open problem to obtain improved bounds, for the maximal function over a sparse sequence of discrete spherical averages, going beyond the range for the full discrete spherical maximal function. I formulate a…

We introduce a notion of maximal potentials and we prove that they form bounded operators from $L^p$ to the homogeneous Sobolev space $\dot{W}^{1,p}$ for all $n/(n-1)<p<n$. We apply this result to the problem of boundedness of the spherical…

In this note we show that the strong spherical maximal function in $\mathbb R^d$ is bounded on $L^p$ if $p>2(d+1)/(d-1)$ for $d\ge 3$.

We study mapping properties of the centered Hardy--Littlewood maximal operator $\mathcal{M}$ acting on Lorentz spaces. Given $p \in (1,\infty)$ and a metric measure space $\mathfrak{X}$ we let $\Omega^p_{\rm HL}(\mathfrak{X}) \subset…

For any nonempty set $U\subset\R^+$, we consider the maximal operator $\h^U$ defined as $\h^Uf=\sup_{u\in U}|H^{(u)} f|$, where $H^{(u)}$ represents the Hilbert transform along the monomial curve $u\gamma(s)$. We focus on the…

We prove that the maximal operator obtained by taking averages at scale 1 along $N$ arbitrary directions on the sphere, is bounded in $L^2(\R^3)$ by $N^{1/4}{\log N}$. When the directions are $N^{-1/2}$ separated, we improve the bound to…

The primary goal of this paper is to introduce bilinear analogues of uncentered spherical averages, Nikodym averages associated with spheres and the associated bilinear maximal functions. We obtain $L^p$-estimates for uncentered bilinear…

This note presents an example of an increasing sequence $(\lambda_l)_{l=1}^\infty$ such that the maximal operators associated to normalized discrete spherical convolution averages \[ \sup_{l\geq…

We give a simple necessary and sufficient condition for maximal operators associated with radial Fourier multipliers to be bounded on $L^p_{rad}$ and $L^p$ for certain $p$ greater than $2$. The range of exponents obtained for the…

We study discretized maximal operators associated to averaging over (neighborhoods of) squares in the plane and, more generally, $k$-skeletons in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Although these operators are known not to be bounded on any $L^p$, we obtain…

We obtain positive and negative results concerning lacunary discrete maximal operators defined by dilations of sufficiently nonsingular hypersurfaces arising from Diophantine equations in many variables. Our negative results show that this…

We prove $L^p\to L^{p'}$ bounds for the resolvent of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$ in the endpoint case $p=2(n+1)/(n+3)$. It has the same behavior with respect to the spectral parameter $z$…

Given a hypersurface $S\subset \mathbb{R}^{2d}$, we study the bilinear averaging operator that averages a pair of functions over $S$, as well as more general bilinear multipliers of limited decay and various maximal analogs. Of particular…

We present a simple geometric approach to studying the $L^p$ boundedness properties of Stein's spherical maximal operator, which does not rely on the Fourier transform. Using this, we recover a weak form of Stein's spherical maximal…

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…
