The Nikodym maximal-function conjecture

About 5 years old · traced to

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

Nδf(x)=sup⁡σ∈Gr(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<n−d+11<p<n-d+1,

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

and for p≥n−d+1p\geq n-d+1,

∥Nδ:Lp(Rn)→Lp(Rn)∥≲(log⁡δ−1)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=n−1d=n-1, where the critical exponent is 22; the general statement remains open in the supplied text.
