Weighted estimates for maximal functions associated with finite type curves in \(\mathbb{R}^2\) (Q2227852)

The authors obtain weighted boundedness on Lebesgue spaces \(L^p (w)\) for the maximal functions \(\mathcal{M}_{lac}\) and \(\mathcal{M}\) associated with a finite type curve \(\mathcal{C}\) with type \(m\) on the plane (Theorem 2.1). The exponent \(p\) is within the expected range, and \(w\) belongs to a specific class of Muckenhoupt weights and satisfies a precise reverse Hölder condition. From this they characterize the power weights for which the corresponding weighted \(L^p\) boundedness of \(\mathcal{M}_{lac}\) and \(\mathcal{M}\) hold (Theorem 2.2). They also obtain a suitable sparse dominations for both \(\mathcal{M}_{lac}\) and \(\mathcal{M}\) (Theorem 2.4). This result is key in the proof of Theorem 2.1. Additionally, the article contains several consequences of Theorem 2.1 (Section 5) and some further generalisation and applications of the main results (Section 7).
