Estimates for the full maximal function on graded Lie groups

Abstract

On ${\mathbb{R}}^n,$ a classical result due to Bourgain establishes the restricted weak $(\frac{n}{n-1},1)$ inequality for the full maximal function $M_F^{d\sigma }$ associated to the spherical averages. In this work we present an extension to Bourgain's result on graded Lie groups for a family of full maximal operators. We formulate this extension using the group Fourier transform of the measures under consideration and the symbols of (positive Rockland operators which are) positive left-invariant hypoelliptic partial differential operators on graded Lie groups.
