We prove that the Kakeya maximal conjecture is equivalent to the $\Omega$-Kakeya maximal conjecture. This completes a recent result in [2] where Keleti and Math{\'e} proved that the Kakeya conjecture is equivalent to the $\Omega$-Kakeya…

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…

We prove $L^p$ bounds in the range $1<p<\infty$ for a maximal dyadic sum operator on $\rn$. This maximal operator provides a discrete multidimensional model of Carleson's operator. Its boundedness is obtained by a simple twist of the proof…

The k-plane transform acting on test functions on R^d satisfies a dilation-invariant L^p to L^q inequality for some exponents p,q. We will explicit some extremizers and the value of the best constant for any value of k and d, solving the…

For a given set of dilations $E\subset [1,2]$, Lebesgue space mapping properties of the spherical maximal operator with dilations restricted to $E$ are studied when acting on radial functions. In higher dimensions, the type set only depends…

In this paper, we introduce a criterion for maximal operators associated with Fourier multipliers to be bounded on $L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)$. Noteworthy examples satisfying the criterion are multipliers of the Mikhlin type or limited decay which…

Let $K$ be a standard H\"older continuous Calder\'on--Zygmund kernel on $\mathbb{R}^{\mathbf{d}}$ whose truncations define $L^2$ bounded operators. We show that the maximal operator obtained by modulating $K$ by polynomial phases of a fixed…

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 consider the $L^p$ mapping properties of maximal averages associated to families of curves, and thickened curves, in the plane. These include the (planar) Kakeya maximal function, the circular maximal functions of Wolff and Bourgain, and…

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…

Let $P(D)$ be the Laplacian $\Delta,$ or the wave operator $\square$. The following type of Carleman estimate is known to be true on a certain range of $p,q$: \[ \|e^{v\cdot x}u\|_{L^q(\mathbb{R}^d)} \le C\|e^{v\cdot…

The Lie-algebraic method approximates differential operators that are formal polynomials of {1,x,d/dx} by linear operators acting on a finite dimensional space of polynomials. In this paper we prove that the rank of the n-dimensional…

Using the polynomial method of Dvir \cite{dvir}, we establish optimal estimates for Kakeya sets and Kakeya maximal functions associated to algebraic varieties $W$ over finite fields $F$. For instance, given an $n-1$-dimensional projective…

Let $k,d,\lambda\geqslant1$ be integers with $d\geqslant\lambda $. Let $m(k,d,\lambda)$ be the maximum positive integer $n$ such that every set of $n$ points (not necessarily in general position) in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ has the property that…

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 consider the problem of minimizing a continuous function f over a compact set K. We analyze a hierarchy of upper bounds proposed by Lasserre in [SIAM J. Optim. 21(3) (2011), pp. 864--885], obtained by searching for an optimal probability…

We prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact set $E \subset {\Bbb R}^2$ is greater than 7/4, then the set of {\ag three-point configurations determined by $E$ has positive three-dimensional measure}. We establish this by showing…

We show that a certain conjectured optimal reverse Littlewood- Paley inequality would, if true, imply sharp results for the Kakeya maximal function, the Bochner-Riesz means and the Fourier restriction operator.

Carleson's theorem on the pointwise convergence of Fourier series provides bounds for a maximal operator, with the maximum taken over all choices of linear functions of a phase argument. We extend this to all quadratic choices of phase…

We show that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on a reflexive variable Lebesgue space $L^{p(\cdot)}$ over a space of homogeneous type $(X,d,\mu)$ if and only if it is bounded on its dual space $L^{p'(\cdot)}$, where…
