We show that if $f$ is locally in $L\log\log L$ then the lacunary spherical means converge almost everywhere. The argument given here is a model case for more general results on singular maximal functions and Radon transforms (see ref. 6).
We prove that the lacunary Carleson operator is bounded from $L \log L$ to $L^{1}$. This result is sharp. The proof is based on two newly introduced concepts: 1) the \emph{time-frequency regularization of a measurable set} and 2) the \emph{set-resolution of the time-frequency plane at $0-$frequency}. These two concepts will play the central role in providing a special tile decomposition adapted to the interaction between the \emph{structure} of the lacunary Carleson operator and the corresponding \emph{structure} of a fix measurable set. Another key insight of our paper is that it provides for…
In his 2006 ICM invited address, Konyagin mentioned the following conjecture: if $S_n f$ stands for the $n$-th partial Fourier sum of $f$ and ${n_j}_j\subset \N$ is a lacunary sequence, then $S_{n_j} f$ is a.e. pointwise convergent for any $f\in L\log\log L$. In this paper we will show that $| \sup_{j} |S_{n_j}(f)| |_{1,\infty}\leq C |f|_{1} \log\log (10+\frac{|f|_{\infty}}{|f|_1})\:.$ As a direct consequence we obtain that $S_{n_j}f \rightarrow f $ a.e. for $f\in L\log\log L\log\log\log L$. The (discrete) Walsh model version of this last fact was proved by Do and Lacey but their methods do no…
We prove that for $d\ge 2$, the asymptotic order of the usual Nikolskii inequality on $\mathbb{S}^d$ (also known as the reverse Hölder's inequality) can be significantly improved in many cases, for lacunary spherical polynomials of the form $f=\sum_{j=0}^m f_{n_j}$ with $f_{n_j}$ being a spherical harmonic of degree $n_j$ and $n_{j+1}-n_j\ge 3$. As is well known, for $d=1$, the Nikolskii inequality for trigonometric polynomials on the unit circle does not have such a phenomenon.
We prove new $\ell ^{p} (\mathbb Z ^{d})$ bounds for discrete spherical averages in dimensions $ d \geq 5$. We focus on the case of lacunary radii, first for general lacunary radii, and then for certain kinds of highly composite choices of radii. In particular, if $ A _{λ} f $ is the spherical average of $ f$ over the discrete sphere of radius $ λ$, we have \begin{equation*} \bigl\lVert \sup _{k} \lvert A _{λ_k} f \rvert \bigr\rVert _{\ell ^{p} (\mathbb Z ^{d})} \lesssim \lVert f\rVert _{\ell ^{p} (\mathbb Z ^{d})}, \qquad \tfrac{d-2} {d-3} < p \leq \tfrac{d} {d-2},\ d\geq 5, \end{equation*} f…
In this paper we investigate the $L^p$ boundedness of the lacunary maximal function $ M_{\Ha}^{lac} $ associated to the spherical means $ A_r f$ taken over Koranyi spheres on the Heisenberg group. Closely following an approach used by M. Lacey in the Euclidean case, we obtain sparse bounds for these maximal functions leading to new unweighted and weighted estimates. The key ingredients in the proof are the $L^p$ improving property of the operator $A_rf$ and a continuity property of the difference $A_rf-τ_y A_rf$, where $τ_yf(x)=f(xy^{-1})$ is the right translation operator.
In this work we obtain the pointwise almost everywhere convergence for two families of multilinear operators: (a) truncated homogeneous singular integral operators associated with $L^q$ functions on the sphere and (b) lacunary multiplier operators of limited decay. The a.e. convergence is deduced from the $L^2\times\cdots\times L^2\to L^{2/m}$ boundedness of the associated maximal multilinear operators.
We show that the discrete lacunary spherical maximal function is bounded on $l^p(\mathbb{Z}^d)$ for all $p >\frac{d+1}{d-1}$. Our range is new in dimension 4, where it appears that little was previously known for general lacunary radii. Our technique follows that of Kesler-Lacey-Mena, using the Kloosterman refinement to improve the estimates in several places, which leads to an overall improvement in dimension 4.
In this paper we deal with lacunary and full versions of the spherical maximal function on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$, for $n\ge 2$. By suitable adaptation of an approach developed by M. Lacey in the Euclidean case, we obtain sparse bounds for these maximal functions, which lead to new unweighted and weighted estimates. In particular, we deduce the $L^p$ boundedness, for $1<p<\infty$, of the lacunary maximal function associated to the spherical means on the Heisenberg group. In order to prove the sparse bounds, we establish $ L^p-L^q $ estimates for local (single scale) variants of th…
We provide a near-complete classification of the Lorentz spaces $Λ_φ$ for which the sequence $\{S_{n}\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ of partial Fourier sums is almost everywhere convergent along lacunary subsequences. Moreover, under mild assumptions on the fundamental function $φ$, we identify $Λ_φ:= L\log\log L\log\log\log\log L$ as the \emph{largest} Lorentz space on which the lacunary Carleson operator is bounded as a map to $L^{1,\infty}$. In particular, we disprove a conjecture stated by Konyagin in his 2006 ICM address. Our proof relies on a newly introduced concept of a "Cantor Multi-tower Embed…
We extend the main result of Harrow, Kolla, and Schulman -- the existence of dimension-free $L^2$-bounds for the spherical maximal function in the hypercube -- to all $L^p, p > 1$. Our approach is motivated by the spectral technique developed by Stein and Nevo and Stein in the context of pointwise ergodic theorems on general groups. We provide an example which demonstrates that no dimension-free weak-type (1-1) bound exists at the endpoint.
