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…

We prove weak-type (1,1) estimates for compositions of maximal operators with singular integrals. Our main object of interest is the operator $\Delta^*\Psi$ where $\Delta^*$ is Bourgain's maximal multiplier operator and $\Psi$ is the sum of…

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…

We use results in [M. Crouzeix and A. Greenbaum,Spectral sets: numerical range and beyond, SIAM Jour. Matrix Anal. Appl., 40 (2019), pp. 1087-1101] to derive a variety of K-spectral sets and show how they can be used in some applications.…

The k-means algorithm is a well-known method for partitioning n points that lie in the d-dimensional space into k clusters. Its main features are simplicity and speed in practice. Theoretically, however, the best known upper bound on its…

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…

We prove that every Kakeya set in $\mathbb{R}^3$ formed from lines of the form $(a,b,0) + \operatorname{span}(c,d,1)$ with $ad-bc=1$ must have Hausdorff dimension $3$; Kakeya sets of this type are called $SL_2$ Kakeya sets. This result was…

We show that the image of a 2-dimensional set under d-dimensional, 2-parameter Brownian sheet can have positive Lebesgue measure, if and only if the set in question has positive (d/2)-dimensional Bessel-Riesz capacity. Our methods solve a…

In this paper we study some estimates of norms in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces for maximal multiplier operators.We will consider the case when multiplier is the Fourier transform of a compactly supported Borel measure

We study the boundedness problem for maximal operators $\mathcal{M}$ associated to averages along families of hypersurfaces $S$ of finite type in $\mathbb{R}^n.$ In this paper, we prove that if $S$ is a finite type hypersurface which is of…

We prove $L^p$ bounds, $\frac{d^2 + 4d + 2}{(d+1)^2} < p < 2(d+1)$, for maximal linear modulations of singular integrals along paraboloids with frequencies in certain subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$, for $d \geq 2$. This generalizes…

First, we study constructible subsets of $\A^n_k$ which contain a line in any direction. We classify the smallest such subsets in $\A^3$ of the type $R\cup\{g\neq 0\},$ where $g\in k[x_1,...,x_n]$ is irreducible of degree $d$, and $R\subset…

We use the arithmetic-combinatorial method of Katz and Tao to give mixed-norm estimates for the x-ray transform on R^d when d \geq 4. As an application, we obtain an improved estimate for the Hausdorff dimension of (d,k) sets, which are…

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 establish the sharp growth order, up to epsilon losses, of the $L^2$-norm of the maximal directional averaging operator along a finite subset $V$ of a polynomial variety of arbitrary dimension $m$, in terms of cardinality. This is an…

We prove an effective version of a theorem of Dufresnoy: For any set of 2n+1 hyperplanes in general position in n-dimensional complex projective space, we find an explicit constant K such that for every holomorphic map f from the unit disc…

This paper presents several new results related to the Kakeya problem. First, we establish a geometric inequality which says that collections of direction-separated tubes (thin neighborhoods of line segments that point in different…

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 construct a union of N parallelograms of dimensions approximately 1/N x 1 in the plane, with the slope of their long sides in the standard Cantor set. The union has area 1/log N but the union of the doubles has area log log N/ log N. In…
