\(L^ p\) estimates for certain generalization of k-plane transforms (Q1824808)

Let \(M_{n,k}\) be the manifold of affine k-planes in \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\) and \(G_{n,k}\) the space of linear k-planes, i.e. k-planes passing through the origin. On \(G_{n,k}\) and \(M_{n,k}\) there are natural measures which are invariant under rigid motions on \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\). Consider the corresponding \(L^ p\)- and mixed norm spaces. For functions \(f\in L^ p({\mathbb{R}}^ n)\) estimates of the k-plane transform in such spaces were given earlier. Here the author considers the \(\ell\)-plane to k-plane transform \(T_{\ell,k}\). For this let \(0\leq \ell \leq k\leq n.\) For \(\Pi \in M_{n,k}\) consider the space \(M_{k,\ell}(\Pi)\) of \(\ell\)-planes contained in \(\Pi\). There is a natural measure \(\mu_{\Pi}\) on \(M_{k,\ell}(\Pi)\) invariant under rigid transformations of \(\Pi\) and suitably normalized. Put \((T_{\ell,k}f)(\Pi)=\int_{M_{k,\ell}(\Pi)}f(\theta)d\mu_{\Pi}(\theta).\) Analogously, for \(G_{n,\ell}\) the transform \(S_{\ell,k}\) is defined. Estimates for this transforms in suitable \(L^ p\) or mixed norm spaces are given. For particular cases of \(\ell\) and k the result was known earlier.
