Let $L_{A}=-{\rm div}(A\nabla)$ be an elliptic divergence form operator with bounded complex coefficients subject to mixed boundary conditions on an arbitrary open set $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{d}$. We prove that the maximal operator…

A Besicovitch set in AG(n,q) is a set of points containing a line in every direction. The Kakeya problem is to determine the minimal size of such a set. We solve the Kakeya problem in the plane, and substantially improve the known bounds…

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…

In this paper we investigate the validity and the consequences of the maximum principle for degenerate elliptic operators whose higher order term is the sum of "k" eigenvalues of the Hessian. In particular we shed some light on some very…

Let $K\subset \mathbb R$ be a regular compact set and let $g(z)=g_{\overline{\mathbb C}\setminus K}(z,\infty)$ be the Green function for $\overline{\mathbb C}\setminus K$ with pole at infinity. For $\delta>0$, define $$ G(\delta):=\max\{…

We characterize the largest point sets in the plane which define at most 1, 2, and 3 angles. For $P(k)$ the largest size of a point set admitting at most $k$ angles, we prove $P(2)=5$ and $P(3)=5$. We also provide the general bounds of $k+2…

The properties of the maximal operator of the $(C,\alpha)$-means ($\alpha=(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_d)$) of the multi-dimensional Walsh-Kaczmarz-Fourier series are discussed, where the set of indices is inside a cone-like set. We prove that…

Lacey and Thiele have recently obtained a new proof of Carleson's theorem on almost everywhere convergence of Fourier series. This paper is a generalization of their techniques (known broadly as time-frequency analysis) to higher…

Extending the methods developed in the author's previous paper and using adapted coordinate systems in two variables, an L^p boundedness theorem is proven for maximal operators over hypersurfaces in R^3 when p > 2. When the best possible p…

We prove that for $1\le k<d$, if $E$ is a Borel subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ of Hausdorff dimension strictly larger than $k$, the set of $(k+1)$-volumes determined by $k+2$ points in $E$ has positive one-dimensional Lebesgue measure. In the…

We consider (bounded) Besicovitch sets in the Heisenberg group and prove that $L^p$ estimates for the Kakeya maximal function imply lower bounds for their Heisenberg Hausdorff dimension.

We provide an example of a pair of weights $(u,v)$ for which the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function is bounded from $L^p(v)$ to $L^p(u)$ and from $L^{p'}(u^{1-p'})$ to $L^{p'}(v^{1-p'})$ while a dyadic sparse operator is not bounded on the…

In this paper we present three different results dealing with the number of $(\leq k)$-facets of a set of points: 1. We give structural properties of sets in the plane that achieve the optimal lower bound $3\binom{k+2}{2}$ of $(\leq…

We prove that the bilinear maximal Bochner-Riesz operator $T_*^\lambda$ is bounded from $L^{p_1}(\mathbb R^n)\times L^{p_2}(\mathbb R^n)$ to $L^p(\mathbb R^n)$ for appropriate $(p_1,p_2,p)$ when $\lambda>(4n+3)/5$.

We prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact subset of ${\mathbb R}^d$ is greater than $\frac{d+1}{2}$, then the set of angles determined by triples of points from this set has positive Lebesgue measure. Sobolev bounds for…

We show weighted non-autonomous $L^q(L^p)$ maximal regularity for families of complex second-order systems in divergence form under a mixed regularity condition in space and time. To be more precise, we let $p,q \in (1,\infty)$ and we…

The dimension of Kakeya sets can be bounded using sum-difference exponents $\SD(R;s)$ for various sets of rational slopes $R$ and output slope $s$; the arithmetic Kakeya conjecture, which implies the Kakeya conjecture in all dimensions,…

Let K be a non-archimedean field, and let f in K(z) be a rational function of degree d>1. If f has potentially good reduction, we give an upper bound, depending only on d, for the minimal degree of an extension L/K such that f is conjugate…

We study the boundedness on $L^p$ of the Riesz transform $\nabla L^{-1/2}$, where $L$ is one of several operators defined on $\R$ or $\R_+$, endowed with the measure $r^{d-1} dr$, $d > 1$, where $dr$ is Lebesgue measure. For integer $d$,…

We consider a "superposition operator" obtained through the continuous superposition of operators of mixed fractional order, modulated by a signed Borel finite measure defined over the set $[0, 1]$. The relevance of this operator is rooted…
