Asymmetry of maximal functions on the affine group of the line (Q756072)

``In this paper we study weak type (1,1) and strong type (p,p), \(1<p<\infty\), boundedness of certain Hardy-Littlewood maximal function operators. These are generated by taking the maximal averages over left- (resp. right-) translates of various families of neighborhoods of the identity in the \(AX+B\) group of the line, \(A>0.''\) The left- and the right-invariant maximal oprators are quite different as to boundedness and the paper consists in unravelling this difference, or asymmetry.
