We prove that a Kakeya set in a vector space over a finite field of size $q$ always supports a probability measure whose Fourier transform is bounded by $q^{-1}$ for all non-zero frequencies. We show that this bound is sharp in all…

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…

For a non-empty, bounded, open, and convex set of class $C^2$, we consider the Torsional Rigidity associated to the $k$-Hessian operator. We first prove P\'olya type lower bound for the $k$-Torsional Rigidity in any dimension; then, in…

The restricted maximal operators of partial sums with respect to bounded Vilenkin systems are investigated. We derive the maximal subspace of positive numbers, for which this operator is bounded from the Hardy space $%H_{p}$ to the Lebesgue…

We reprove Wolff's $L^{\frac{5}2}-$ bound for the $\R^3-$Kakeya maximal function without appealing to the argument of induction on scales. The main ingredient in our proof is an adaptation of Sogge's strategy used in the work on…

We study a generalized spherical means operator, viz. generalized spherical mean Radon transform, acting on radial functions. As the main results, we find conditions for the associated maximal operator and its local variant to be bounded on…

We consider the $L^p \rightarrow L^p$ boundedness of a Nikodym maximal function associated to a one-parameter family of tubes in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ whose directions are determined by a non-degenerate curve $\gamma$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$. These…

As shown in [A1], the lowest constants appearing in the weak type (1,1) inequalities satisfied by the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator associated to certain finite radial measures, grow exponentially fast with the dimension. Here…

Let $L$ be a set of lines of an affine space over a field and let $S$ be a set of points with the property that every line of $L$ is incident with at least $N$ points of $S$. Let $D$ be the set of directions of the lines of $L$ considered…

We study maximal averages associated with singular measures on $\rr$. Our main result is a construction of singular Cantor-type measures supported on sets of Hausdorff dimension $1 - \epsilon$, $0 \leq \epsilon < {1/3}$ for which the…

We study the $2k$-th moment of central values of the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions to a fixed prime modulus and establish sharp upper bounds for all real $k \in [0,2]$.

We adapt Guth's polynomial partitioning argument for the Fourier restriction problem to the context of the Kakeya problem. By writing out the induction argument as a recursive algorithm, additional multiscale geometric information is made…

We prove $L^p\times L^q\rightarrow L^r$ bounds for certain lacunary bilinear maximal averaging operators with parameters satisfying the H\"older relation $1/p+1/q=1/r$. The boundedness region that we get contains at least the interior of…

It is well-known that the Fourier extension operator for the paraboloid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ cannot be weak-type bounded at the restriction endpoint $q = 2d/(d-1)$, since such an estimate would imply bounds for the Kakeya maximal function…

We give explicit upper bounds for the coefficients of arbitrary weight $k$, level 2 cusp forms, making Deligne's well-known $O(n^{\frac{k-1}{2}+\epsilon})$ bound precise. We also derive asymptotic formulas and explicit upper bounds for the…

It is shown that $SL_2$ Besicovitch sets of measure zero exist in $\mathbb{R}^3$. The proof is constructive and uses point-line duality analogously to Kahane's construction of measure zero Besicovitch sets in the plane. A corollary is that…

We prove the $L^p$ boundedness of a maximal operator associated with a dyadic frequency decomposition of a Fourier multiplier, under a weak regularity assumption.

Given sparse collections of measurable sets $\mathcal S_k$, $k=1,2,\ldots ,N$, in a general measure space $(X,\mathfrak M,\mu)$, let $ \Lambda_{\mathcal S_k}$ be the sparse operator, corresponding to $\mathcal S_k$. We show that the maximal…

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 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 <…
