The Nikodym maximal-function conjecture

For 1d<n1\leq d<n, let Tδ(σ)T_\delta(\sigma) be a δ\delta-plate oriented along σGr(d,n)\sigma\in\mathrm{Gr}(d,n), and define the Nikodym maximal function

Nδf(x)=supσGr(d,n)\fintx+Tδ(σ)f.\mathcal N_\delta f(x)=\sup_{\sigma\in\mathrm{Gr}(d,n)}\fint_{x+T_\delta(\sigma)}|f|.

Nikodym maximal-function conjecture. For 1<p<nd+11<p<n-d+1,

Nδ:Lp(Rn)Lp(Rn)δnd+1pp,\|\mathcal N_\delta:L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)\to L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)\|\lesssim \delta^{-\frac{n-d+1-p}{p}},

and for pnd+1p\geq n-d+1,

Nδ:Lp(Rn)Lp(Rn)(logδ1)1p.\|\mathcal N_\delta:L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)\to L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)\|\lesssim (\log\delta^{-1})^{\frac1p}.

The conjecture is proposed as the sharp range of boundedness. The source says it is verified when d=n1d=n-1, where the critical exponent is 22; the general statement remains open in the supplied text.
