Maximal-operator duality for weighted Morrey and block spaces

Let 1<pq<1<p\leq q<\infty, let ww be a weight, and let MM denote the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator. Define the weighted Morrey and block spaces by

fMwp,q(Rd):=fwMp,q(Rd),gBw1p,q(Rd):=gw1Bp,q(Rd).\|f\|_{M_w^{p,q}({\mathbf R}^d)}:=\|fw\|_{M^{p,q}({\mathbf R}^d)},\qquad \|g\|_{B_{w^{-1}}^{p',q'}({\mathbf R}^d)}:=\|gw^{-1}\|_{B^{p',q'}({\mathbf R}^d)}.

Morrey–block duality conjecture. If

M:Bw1p,q(Rd)Bw1p,q(Rd),M:B_{w^{-1}}^{p',q'}({\mathbf R}^d)\to B_{w^{-1}}^{p',q'}({\mathbf R}^d),

then

M:Mwp,q(Rd)Mwp,q(Rd).M:M_w^{p,q}({\mathbf R}^d)\to M_w^{p,q}({\mathbf R}^d).

This is the Morrey-space form of the one-sided maximal-operator duality question, using the Köthe duality between weighted Morrey and block spaces. The source explicitly states that the converse implication is false, so the asserted implication itself remains unresolved.
