review text: The article presents numerous significant advances in the study of maximal directional averages motivated mainly by the Kakeya and Nikodym conjectures. For a finite subset \( \Sigma \) of the Grassmannian \(\mathrm{Gr}(d,n)\) of \(d\)-dimensional subspaces of \(\mathbb{R}^n\) and for \( s \in S \subset (0, \infty)\), consider the maximal operators \[ \mathrm{M}_{\Sigma, \{s\}} f (x) = \sup_{\sigma \in \Sigma} \langle |f| \rangle_{s, \sigma} (x) \text{ and } \mathrm{M}_{\Sigma, S} f (x) = \sup_{s \in S} M_{\Sigma, \{s\}} f (x), \] where \(\displaystyle \langle |f| \rangle_{s, \sigma} (x) = \int_{sB_n \cap \sigma} |f(x-y)| \frac{dy}{s^d} \) and \(f \in \mathcal{C} (\mathbb{R}^n)\), \(B_n\) is the \(n\)-dimensional unit ball centered at the origin, \(sB_n\) is its concentric dilate and \(dy\) denotes the Lebesgue measure on \(\sigma\). The first two main results of this paper state the following. Theorem A. For all \(N > 0\) and \(d < n\), there holds \[ \sup_{s > 0} \; \sup_{\substack{\Sigma \subset \mathrm{Gr}(d,n)\\ \# \Sigma \leq N } } \left\| \mathrm{M}_{\Sigma, \{s\}} \right\|_{L^2 (\mathbb{R}^n)} \lesssim N^{ \frac{ n - d - 1 }{ 2 (n-d) } } (\log N)^{ \frac{n-d}{2} } , \] with an implicit numerical constant depending only upon \(d\), \(n\). This bound is sharp in terms of \(N\) when \(n = d + 1\) and sharp up to the logarithmic factor in general. Theorem B. Let \(\Sigma \subset \mathrm{Gr}(d,d+1)\) be a finite set. Then \[ \left\| \mathrm{M}_{\Sigma, (0,\infty)} : L^2 (\mathbb{R}^{d+1}) \to L^{2,\infty} (\mathbb{R}^{d+1}) \right\| \lesssim ( \log \# \Sigma )^{1/2} \] and \[ \left\| \mathrm{M}_{\Sigma, (0,\infty)} : L^p (\mathbb{R}^{d+1}) \to L^p (\mathbb{R}^{d+1}) \right\| \lesssim \begin{cases} (\log \# \Sigma )^{1/p}, &p > 2, \\ \log \# \Sigma, &p = 2. \end{cases} \] These bounds are best possible in terms of the dependence on the cardinality \(\# \Sigma\). The authors also introduce the \((d,n)\)-Nikodym maximal function by \[ \mathcal{N}_\delta f (x) = \sup_…
