  • Strong type inequalities and an almost-orthogonality principle for families of maximal operators along directions in R2, J. London Math. Soc. (2) 67 (2003), 208-218.

    Abstract: The paper proves an almost-orthogonality principle for maximal operators over arbitrary sets of directions in R2. Namely, the Lp-bounds for an operator of this type are obtained from the corresponding Lp-bounds of the maximal functions associated to a certain partition of the set of directions, and from the particular structure of this partition. Applications to several types of maximal operators are provided.

  • A remark on maximal operators along directions in R2, (with F. Soria and A. Vargas) Math. Res. Lett. 10 (2003), no. 1, 41-49.

    Abstract: In this paper we give a simple proof of a long-standing conjecture, recently proved by N. Katz, on the weak-type norm of a maximal operator associated with an arbitrary collection of directions in the plane. The proof relies upon a geometric argument (a weak-type almost-orthogonality principle) and on induction with respect to the number of directions. Applications are given to estimate the behavior of several types of maximal operators.

  • An almost-orthogonality principle in L2 for directional maximal functions (with F. Soria and A. Vargas), Harmonic Analysis at Mount Holyoke, 1-7, Contemp. Math, 320 Amer. Math. Soc. 2003.

    Abstract: In this work we improve our result in the previous paper. We prove a strong-type almost-orthogonality principle in L2 for maximal functions along several directions. We use geometric methods and a covering lemma.
