Abstract: We show that for any dimension dge3, one can obtain Wolff's L(d+2)/2 bound on Kakeya-Nikodym maximal function in mathbbRd for dge3 without the induction on scales argument. The key ingredient is to reduce to a 2-dimensional L2 estimate with an auxiliary maximal function. We also prove that the same L(d+2)/2 bound holds for Nikodym maximal function for any manifold (Md,g) with constant curvature, which generalizes Sogge's results for d=3 to any dge3. As in the 3-dimensional case, we can handle manifolds of constant curvature due to the fact that, in this case, two intersecting geodesics uniquely determine a 2-dimensional totally geodesic submanifold, which allows the use of the auxiliary maximal function.
