Abstract

We survey maximal directional averages and directional singular integrals, and their connections with Kakeya--Nikodym phenomena, differentiation theory and the Carleson operator. The exposition is organized by the structure of the set of directions: lacunary and arbitrary finite sets, vector fields as in the conjectures of Zygmund and Stein, and, in higher dimensions, algebraic sets of directions and subspaces. The unifying tool is almost orthogonality, which rests on the ordering of the circle in the plane and on polynomial partitioning in higher dimensions. We explain where it yields sharp or nearly sharp bounds and where new ideas are needed, notably for multiscale averages along algebraic curves and for vector-valued single-annulus estimates, and we collect open problems.

Level sets of prevalent Weierstrass functions

The $α$-Weierstrass function is defined as $W_g^{α,b}(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} b^{-αk} g(b^k x)$, where $g$ is a Lipschitz function on the unit circle. For a prevalent $α$-Weierstrass function, we prove that the upper Minkowski dimension of every level set is at most $1-α$, and the Hausdorff dimension of almost every level set equals $1-α$ with respect to its occupation measure. We further demonstrate that the occupation measure of a prevalent $α$-Weierstrass function is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Consequently, the result on the Hausdorff dimension of level sets applies to a set of level sets with positive Lebesgue measure. A central tool in our analysis is the Weierstrass embedding. For a sufficiently large dimension $d$, we construct Lipschitz functions $g_0, g_1, \ldots, g_{d-1}$ such that the mapping $x \mapsto \big(W_{g_0}^{α,b}(x), W_{g_1}^{α,b}(x), \ldots, W_{g_{d-1}}^{α,b}(x)\big)$ is $α$-bi-Hölder. We also prove that such an embedding requires at least $1/α$ coordinate functions.

Weighted wave envelope estimates for the parabola

In this paper, we extend the Córdoba-Fefferman square function estimate for the parabola to a weighted setting. Our weighted square function estimate is derived from a weighted wave envelope estimate for the parabola. The bounds are formulated in terms of families of multiscale tubes together with weight parameters that quantify the distribution of the weight. As applications, we obtain weighted $L^p$-estimates for a class of Fourier multiplier operators and for solutions to the free Schrödinger equation.

The paper "On the constant in a transference inequality for the vector-valued Fourier transform" revisited

The standard proof of the equivalence of Fourier type on $\mathbb R^d$ and on the torus $\mathbb T^d$ is usually stated in terms of an implicit constant which can be expressed in terms of the global minimiser of the functions \[f_r(x)=\sum_{m\in\mathbb{Z}}\left|\frac{\sin(π(x+m))}{π(x+m)}\right|^{2r},\qquad x\in [0,1], \ r\ge 1.\] The aim of this note is to provide a short proof of a result of the authors which states that each $f_r$ takes a global minimum at the point $x = \frac12$.
