Bounds on the maximal Bochner-Riesz means for elliptic operators

Abstract

We investigate $L^p$ boundedness of the maximal Bochner-Riesz means for self-adjoint operators of elliptic type. Assuming the finite speed of propagation for the associated wave operator, from the restriction type estimates we establish the sharp $L^p$ boundedness of the maximal Bochner-Riesz means for the elliptic operators. As applications, we obtain the sharp $L^p$ maximal bounds for the Schrödinger operators on asymptotically conic manifolds, the harmonic oscillator and its perturbations or elliptic operators on compact manifolds.
