Spherical Maximal Operators on Radial Functions

Publication date 20 November 1997

Abstract: Let

A_{t} f (x) = i n t f (x + t y) d s i g m a (y)

denote the spherical means in

B b b R^{d}

(

d s i g m a

is surface measure on

S^{d - 1}

, normalized to

1

). We prove sharp estimates for the maximal function

M_{E} f (x) = s u p_{t i n E} | A_{t} f (x) |

where

E

is a fixed set in

B b b R^{+}

and

f

is a {it radial} function

i n L^{p} (B b b R^{d})

. Let

p_{d} = d / (d - 1)

(the critical exponent of Stein's maximal function). For the cases (i)

p < p_{d}

,

d g e 2

and (ii)

p = p_{d}

,

d g e 3

, and for

p l e q l e i n f t y

we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for

L^{p} o L^{p, q}

boundedness of the operator

M_{E}

.
