How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Truncated maximal functions: finiteness, comparison estimates and the good-set bound
Statement
Assume Countable Choice. Let , and let with . For , , and define the truncated maximal functions where , and are those of Radial and nontangential maximal functions of a tempered distribution and Grand maximal test class of order N and the grand maximal function. The displayed radial and aperture-one truncation formulas also apply to every Schwartz test , including tests of zero integral; the nonzero-integral hypothesis is needed only for estimates involving the fixed comparison kernel . Then:
For a nonnegative Borel function , write for the supremum of its centered ball averages, with the nonnegative Lebesgue integral allowed to equal . If , then for the centered maximal operator of The centered and uncentered Hardy-Littlewood maximal functions.
- For every and every there is such that for every and every the function belongs to and satisfies with some finite depending on (so the quantity is finite).
- For every and there is such that for every , every , every and every , with independent of and .
- For every , setting and assuming , one has for every , and where is the extended centered average defined above and . The norm inequality is interpreted in the extended sense if its right-hand side is infinite.
- For every , , and there is such that for every there is with the property that for every , every and every satisfying ,
- (Untruncated good-set estimate.) For every and there is such that for every there is with the property that for every and every with , The finiteness is part of the hypothesis: no claim is made at points where . For every with finite a.e. the estimate therefore holds a.e. on the set .
The point of the truncation is that is finite and integrable, so the good-set argument of the last item can be run without an a priori finiteness assumption on ; as the truncated functions increase pointwise to the untruncated ones. Countable Choice is assumed through dyadic deconvolution and the measure-theoretic estimates used below.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice, , , with , , , ; the maximal functions of Radial and nontangential maximal functions of a tempered distribution and Grand maximal test class of order N and the grand maximal function.
Finite-seminorm bound: there are integers and with for all . Applying this to gives when and when : for small scales the largest derivative seminorm is bounded by , while for large scales it is bounded by and the polynomial weight contributes at most (Finite seminorm bound characterizes tempered distributions, Schwartz space and its seminorms).
The centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is defined for inputs and satisfies for ; also (The centered and uncentered Hardy-Littlewood maximal functions, The centered maximal operator is bounded on for ).
The deconvolution lemma: for with and every pair of positive integers , there are such that for every there are with in and Any smaller positive value of also works, with constants depending on that value (Deconvolution of a Schwartz function along the dyadic dilates of a fixed kernel).
For every and , with ; this follows from the centred-ball formula and translation invariance. Consequently, and (Sphere and ball measures scale in Rn, Lebesgue outer measure, Lebesgue measurability and Lebesgue measure are unchanged by translation, Open ball, closed ball and sphere in a metric space).
Translate bound for the test seminorm: for and one has , because pointwise; hence for the translated derivative kernel and with one has . Combining the componentwise bounds for gives times this bound after applying the grand maximal estimate; write for the resulting gradient constant (Grand maximal test class of order N and the grand maximal function, Schwartz space and its seminorms).
For every , : if is compact, it is bounded and has finite measure, and Holder gives (Holder's inequality for integrals, including the endpoint cases, Lebesgue measure is sigma-finite, and every metrically bounded subset of has finite outer measure).
The radial and aperture-one nontangential maximal functions are Borel measurable for every (Measurability and lower semicontinuity of the smooth maximal functions). For fixed , the truncated aperture-one function is Borel: each strict superlevel set is the union of the open balls indexed by the admissible witnesses whose weighted convolution value exceeds that level. The truncated grand maximal function is Borel by the same open-ball superlevel argument, with tests also indexed over . The tangential function is Borel because it is a supremum, over fixed witnesses, of continuous functions of ; smoothness of each convolution is Tempered convolution is smooth with polynomial growth.
Proof technique: weighted distance estimates, the dyadic deconvolution comparison and a mean-value argument on the good set.
Proof
Finiteness bound. Let be as in [F1], and choose so large that and . Fix . For a witness with and , write . If , [F1] and give because . If , the large-scale bound in [F1] gives because when one has , while when the factor is at most . Thus in both cases for some finite . If , then , so this is at most . If , then ; absorbing the resulting factor gives the same spatial-decay form with a possibly larger finite power of . Taking the supremum over witnesses yields Because , this bound belongs to , uniformly for each fixed . By [F7] the maximal function is Borel, so its norm is defined.
Tangential dominated by aperture one. Fix and , and put and , which is nonnegative Borel by [F7]. For every the definition gives . Raising to the -th power, averaging with the integral allowed to be infinite, and enlarging the ball using [F4] gives Since , division by and taking the supremum over proves the pointwise estimate for every . For the norm estimate assume . If , the extended norm inequality is trivial. Otherwise , and [F6] gives , so . Applying [F2] with yields Taking -th roots and renaming the constant proves assertion 3.
Truncated grand maximal dominated by the truncated tangential maximal function. Fix , and choose integers and , for example and . Apply [F3] with these parameters, obtaining ; by the scaling clause of [F3] we may assume , and we take an integer so that for every and for . Write . For , and write the deconvolution and set . If , assertion 2 is immediate. Otherwise associativity follows from Schwartz parameter pairing and integral interchange applied to : each seminorm is bounded by an integrable polynomial weight times . Continuity of passes the Schwartz deconvolution partial sums to the scalar limit. Thus, with the integration variable, By definition of , for every and with , Multiplying by and using the triangle inequality , together with (valid since and ), gives Therefore, substituting and using so is integrable, since , [F3] gives , and makes the geometric series converge. The constants are independent of , , , and ; the constant is independent of because no weight with remains. The same calculation for an arbitrary Schwartz test retains the factor on the right. For a cone witness and , put and , so . Since and , the weighted derivative inequality gives , independently of . Also since and . Thus Taking the supremum over these cone witnesses and tests proves assertion 2, with independent of and .
Good-set bound. Fix , , large enough for the estimate below, , and with . This condition forces : put and . For every aperture-one witness at , has , and the translated kernel satisfies by [F5]. Thus , , and the denominator comparison gives In particular an infinite right-hand side would force an infinite left-hand side, contrary to the strict good-set inequality. If the aperture-one quantity is positive, its finiteness lets us choose and with such that If the aperture-one quantity is zero, the strict good-set inequality is impossible because . With , [F5] gives Indeed, for the translated derivative test function , whose translation length is at most ; its seminorm is at most . Also because and . The mean value theorem and the good-set hypothesis now give Choose so . The saturation estimate yields on , and . Thus, using the ball inclusion and [F4], By [F7], is Borel, so the extended average defined before assertion 1 applies even if it is not locally integrable. The displayed average is at most , so assertion 4 follows with .
Removing truncation. For fixed and every fixed admissible witness, the weight increases to as , and the permitted scale range increases to all . Hence the radial, aperture-one and tangential truncated functions increase to their corresponding untruncated suprema. The same argument, also taking the supremum over , gives . The strict cone has the same supremum as the closed cone , because each convolution is continuous and every boundary point is a limit of interior points at fixed ; therefore this limit is precisely the supplied nontangential .
Untruncated good-set estimate. Let satisfy , with . If , the asserted bound is immediate; otherwise, by definition of the supremum choose with and , where . As in step 1.4 but without truncation weights, by [F5]. Choose so . The mean value theorem gives on , and . Using [F4], the ball inclusion and the extended average defined in step 1.4 yields This is assertion 5 with and .
Conclusion. Step 1.1 gives the finiteness and pointwise decay of the aperture-one truncated function; step 1.3 gives the pointwise comparison of the truncated grand maximal function with the truncated tangential one, with constants independent of ; step 1.2 gives the tangential-to-aperture-one comparison via the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator; step 1.4 gives the truncated good-set bound and step 2.1 the untruncated one. Step 1.5 proves the stated monotone limits.
