Abstract

In this article, we continue the study of $L^p$-boundedness of the maximal operator $\mathcal M_S$ associated to averages along isotropic dilates of a given, smooth hypersurface $S$ in 3-dimensional Euclidean space. We focus here on small surface-patches near a given point $x^0$ exhibiting singularities of type $\mathcal A$ in the sense of Arnol'd at this point; this is the situation which had yet been left open. Denoting by $p_c$ the minimal Lebesgue exponent such that $\mathcal M_S$ is $L^p$-bounded for $p>p_c,$ we are able to identify $p_c$ for all analytic surfaces of type $\mathcal A$ (with the exception of a small subclass), by means of quantities which can be determined from associated Newton polyhedra. Besides the well-known notion of height at $x^0,$ a new quantity, which we call the effective multiplicity, turns out to play a crucial role here. We also state a conjecture on how the critical exponent $p_c$ might be determined by means of a geometric measure theoretic condition, which measures in some way the order of contact of arbitrary ellipsoids with $S,$ even for hypersurfaces in arbitrary dimension, and show that this conjecture holds indeed true for all classes of 2-hypersurfaces $S$ for which we have gained an essentially complete understanding of $\mathcal M_S$ so far. Our results lead in particular to a proof of a conjecture by Iosevich-Sawyer-Seeger for arbitrary analytic 2-surfaces.

On the log-concavity of the composite Bessel function $x^{\alpha}J_{\nu }\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $

For a twice differentiable function $f:\left( a,b\right) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ define $v\left( f\right) =f^{\prime}f^{\prime}-f^{\prime\prime }f.$ It is well known that the positivity of $v\left( f\right) $ implies that the function $\left\vert f\right\vert $ is strictly log-concave on each subinterval which does not contain zeros of $f.$ In this paper we provide criteria for the positivity of $v\left( F\right) $ for the composite Bessel function $F\left( x\right) =J_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\nu}\left( x\right) :=x^{\alpha}J_{\nu}\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $ for positive numbers $\beta$ and $\gamma$ and real numbers $\alpha$ and $\nu.$

Riesz capacity ratios with negative exponents

We investigate sharp inequalities for ratios of Riesz capacities with negative exponents by combining computational experiments with rigorous analysis. For finite subsets of the line, we prove positivity of equilibrium masses when $-1<p<0$, enabling numerical tests of conjectured extremal ratios. In the plane, comparisons of the disk with regular polygon vertex sets reveal a cascade of transitions among the tested competitors and suggest a precise conjecture for the equilibrium measure of odd polygons, for which we give a partial proof. Numerical intersections of equality curves show that the regions where these sets outperform the disk are not simply nested. Similar numerical intersections occur in three dimensions between the regular-simplex equality curve and those of explicit five-point and six-point configurations. Motivated by the dimensional dependence of these comparisons, we prove that for each fixed $p<-2<q<0$, the regular simplex has a larger capacity ratio than the ball in all sufficiently large dimensions. Accompanying Python and Mathematica code supports reproduction and further testing of the conjectures.

Shorter proof of dimension-free $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms

We provide a shorter and more direct proof of $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms (of an arbitrary order) in terms of the corresponding Riesz transforms, with a constant independent of the dimension of the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^d$. This result was originally proved by Mateu, Orobitg, P\'erez and Verdera with a constant depending on the dimension, and improved to a dimension-free inequality by Kucharski, Wr\'obel and Zienkiewicz.
