Iosevich–Sawyer–Stein conjecture for maximal operators

Let ρ>0\rho>0 and let ρ\rho-Fourier decay mean that a measure u u satisfies the decay inequality

ν^(ξ)(1+ξ)ρ.|\widehat{\nu}(\xi)|\lesssim (1+|\xi|)^{-\rho}.

Suppose Γ\Gamma is a smooth hypersurface and a measure mumu defined on Γ\Gamma satisfies this inequality for some 0<ρ1/20<\rho\le 1/2. Iosevich–Sawyer–Stein conjecture. The associated maximal operator is bounded on LpL^p for p>1/ρp>1/\rho. This conjecture concerns the sharp relationship between Fourier decay and maximal-operator bounds; the source states that the general problem remains widely open, while several important cases are known.
