On maximal large sieve inequality (Q1322348)

The following maximal versions of the well known large sieve inequality were proved by \textit{H. L. Montgomery} [J. Fac. Sci., Univ. Tokyo, Sect. I A 28, 805-812 (1981; Zbl 0498.10024)]. Let \(a_ n\) \((M<n \leq M+N)\) be any complex numbers, let \(\alpha_ 1,\dots, \alpha_ R\) be well spaced in the sense \(\| \alpha_ r- \alpha_ s\| \geq\delta\) for \(r\neq s\). Denote by \[ M(S_ j \alpha)= \max_{0<t\leq 1/2} \int_ \alpha^{\alpha+t} | S(u)| du \qquad \bigl( S(u)= \sum_ n a_ n e(un)\bigl) \] the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator. Then \[ \sum_{r=1}^ R M(S,\alpha_ r)^ 2\ll (N+ \delta^{-1}) \sum_ n | a_ n|^ 2. \] A similar bound is valid for the quantity \(\sum_ r \max_{k\leq N} | \sum^{M+k}_{n=M+1} a_ n e(\alpha_ r n) |^ 2\). In the present paper the authors reformulate these inequalities in the language of abstract harmonic analysis. They also generalize it to higher dimensions.
