Weak type inequalities of maximal Hankel convolution operators (Q1284644)

The maximal Hankel convolution operator \(K^*\) is defined on \(L^1((0,\infty),d\gamma)\), where \(d\gamma=x^{2\mu+1}dx\), by a sequence \(\{k_i\in L^1((0,\infty),d\gamma)\}\) as \[ K^*f(x)=\sup_i|(k_i\# f)(x)|, \] where \(\#\) is the Hankel convolution (see [\textit{F. M. Cholewinski}, Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 58, 67 p. (1965; Zbl 0137.30901)] for details). Authors prove that the maximal operator \(K^*\) is of weak-type \((1,1)\) if and only if the corresponding sequence \(\{k_i\}\) satisfies a sort of weak-type \((1,1)\) condition. Authors also check that only the trivial sequence \(\{k_i=0\}\) satisfies to the weak-type \((p,p)\) condition, when \(p>1\).
