Maximal functions and singular integrals associated to polynomial mappings of \(\mathbb R^ n\). (Q1413716)

The authors consider convolution operators on \(\mathbb R^n\) of the form \[ T_Pf(x)=\int_{\mathbb R^m} f(x-P(y)) K(y)\, dy, \] where \(P\) is a polynomial defined on \(\mathbb R^m\) with values in \(\mathbb R^n\) and \(K\) is a smooth Calderón-Zygmund kernel on \(\mathbb R^m\). Their main concern is to study the weak type 1-1 for this kind of operators and other related ones. They prove that under certain conditions on \(P\) and \(K\), the above operator can be written as a classical convolution operator associated to a ``rough'' Calderón-Zygmund kernel on \(\mathbb R^n\). This approach allows the authors to study the weak type 1-1 estimate and the strong type \(p\). They also study the weak type 1-1 for related maximal operators and what they call super maximal operators, defined by taking the suprema over \(P\) ranging in certain classes of polynomials of bounded degree.
