Improved $\ell^p$-Boundedness for Integral $k$-Spherical Maximal Functions

Abstract

We improve the range of p(Zd)\ell^p(\mathbb Z^d)-boundedness of the integral kk-spherical maximal functions introduced by Magyar. The previously best known bounds for the full kk-spherical maximal function require the dimension dd to grow at least cubicly with the degree kk. Combining ideas from our prior work with recent advances in the theory of Weyl sums by Bourgain, Demeter, and Guth and by Wooley, we reduce this cubic bound to a quadratic one. As an application, we deduce improved bounds in the ergodic Waring--Goldbach problem.
