A note on almost everywhere convergence of Bochner-Riesz operator

Abstract: We study the problem of finding the value of

p

and the summability index

d e l t a

for which the Bochner-Riesz operator

S_{t}^{d} e l t a f (x) := (1 + t^{- 2} D e l t a)_{+}^{d} e l t a f (x)

converges to

f (x)

almost everywhere for all

f i n L^{p} (m a t h b b R^{d})

in the range

2 l e p l e i n f t y

. Although the convolution kernel

K_{t}^{d} e l t a

of

S_{t}^{d} e l t a

is not in

L^{p^{'}}

if

d e l t a l e d e l t a (d, p) := m a x (0, - 1 / 2 + d, | 1 / 2 - 1 / p |)

,

S_{t}^{d} e l t a f

can be defined for some

f i n L^{p}

in such a case by interpreting the convolution

K_{t}^{d} e l t a a s t f

as an improper integral. Using this alternative definition, we prove that the almost everywhere convergence holds only if

d e l t a g e d e l t a (d, p)

.
