On the Ritt property and weak type maximal inequalities for convolution powers on \(\ell ^1(\mathbb {Z})\) (Q2833669)

The author of this paper seeks the additional sufficient conditions besides the Bounded Angular Ratio property that probability measures on \(\mathbb{Z}\) should have in order to satisfy weak-type maximal inequalities. He also addresses the Ritt property in \(l^1(\mathbb{Z})\) for probability measures on \(\mathbb{Z}\). For these reasons, he studies the behavior of convolution powers of probability measures \(\mu\) on \(\mathbb{Z}\) such that the sequence \((\mu(n))_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\) is completely monotone or such that \(\mu\) is centered with a second moment. Moreover, this paper provides many examples of probability measures on \(\mathbb{Z}\) that have the Ritt property and whose convolution powers satisfy weak-type maximal inequalities in \(l^1(\mathbb{Z})\). Several open questions are also examined.
