Maximal averages over flat radial hypersurfaces (Q1970372)

Consider the operator \[ Af := \sup_{t > 0} f * d\sigma_t \] where \(d\sigma_t\) is a normalized surface measure on some smooth compact hypersurface \(tS\). If this surface has finite type then this operator is bounded on a non-trivial range of \(L^p\). The author studies the infinite type case, in which one can only expect Orlicz space estimates. In the case when the surface is a surface of revolution the author obtains essentially sharp criteria on the Orlicz spaces on which A is bounded.
