Abstract

For every finite family of Euclidean balls in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge2$, and every $0<\delta<1/2$, we select a subfamily whose $(1+\delta)$-dilations cover the original union and whose undilated balls have multiplicity at most $C_n\delta^{-(n-1)/2}$. This proves the covering estimate conjectured by Han and Lu \cite{HL}. As an application, we determine the optimal Solyanik asymptotic \[ \mathcal C_n(\alpha)-1\asymp_n(1-\alpha)^{2/(n+1)} \qquad(\alpha\uparrow1) \] for the uncentered Hardy--Littlewood maximal operator over Euclidean balls, which is Conjecture~1(b) of Hagelstein and Parissis \cite{HP14}. For the modified uncentered maximal operators, we determine the optimal weak $(1,1)$ growth rate $(k-1)^{-(n-1)/2}$ as $k\downarrow1$, uniformly over Radon measures. We also obtain the corresponding $L^p$ and Fefferman--Stein bounds.

The Sharp Dimension Bound in the Johnson--Lindenstrauss Lemma

The Johnson--Lindenstrauss lemma asserts that every set of $n$ points in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space embeds into $O(\varepsilon^{-2}\log n)$-dimensional Euclidean space with distortion at most $1+\varepsilon$. Larsen and Nelson conjectured that the optimal target dimension throughout the full range of the parameter...

The Zygmund conjecture and Rey's exponential integrability conjecture

We prove the Zygmund conjecture in all parameters: the maximal operator associated with products of cubes with side lengths $(s_1,\ldots,s_{m-1},\phi(s_1,\ldots,s_{m-1}))$, where $\phi$ is any positive coordinatewise nondecreasing function, satisfies the weak $L(\log L)^{m-2}$ estimate for every $m\geq3$. The estimate...

Dimension-free estimates for the full discrete Euclidean ball maximal function

Let $M_t$ denote the normalized average over the lattice points in the Euclidean ball of radius $t$ in $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We prove that the full maximal operator $f\mapsto\sup_{t\geq0}\lvert M_t f\rvert$ is bounded on $\ell^p(\mathbb{Z}^d)$, for every $1<p\leq\infty$, with a constant independent of the dimension. In parti...

Sharp Fractional Riesz Estimates on the Hypercube

Let $\Omega_{n}=\{-1,1\}^n$ be the $n$-dimensional hypercube equipped with the normalized uniform measure, let $\nabla$ be the Walsh gradient and let $\Delta$ be the Walsh Laplacian. For every $1<p\leq 2$ we prove the following estimate \[ \|\nabla f\|_{L_p(\Omega_n;\ell_2^n)} \leq c_{{\rm abs}}(p-1)^{-2}\|\Delta^{1/p}...
