Tauberian constants associated to centered translation invariant density bases

Abstract

This paper provides a necessary and sufficient condition on Tauberian constants associated to a centered translation invariant differentiation basis so that the basis is a density basis. More precisely, given $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$, let $\mathcal{B} = \cup_{x \in \mathbb{R}^n} \mathcal{B}(x)$ be a collection of bounded open sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$ containing $x$. Suppose moreover that these collections are translation invariant in the sense that, for any two points $x$ and $y$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ we have that $\mathcal{B}(x + y) = \{R + y : R \in \mathcal{B}(x)\}.$ Associated to these collections is a maximal operator $M_{\mathcal{B}}$ given by $$M_{\mathcal{B}}f(x) :=\sup_{R \in \mathcal{B}(x)} \frac{1}{|R|} \int_R |f|.$$ The Tauberian constants $C_{\mathcal{B}}(α)$ associated to $M_{\mathcal{B}}$ are given by $$C_{\mathcal{B}}(α) :=\sup_{E \subset \mathbb{R}^n \atop 0 < |E| < \infty} \frac{1}{|E|}|\{x \in \mathbb{R}^n :\, M_{\mathcal{B}}χ_E(x) > α\}|.$$ Given $0 < r < \infty$, we set $\mathcal{B}_r(x) :=\{R \in \mathcal{B}(x) : \mathrm{diam } R < r\}$, and let $\mathcal{B}_r :=\cup_{x \in \mathbb{R}^n} \mathcal{B}_r (x).$ We prove that $\mathcal{B}$ is a density basis if and only if, given $0 < α< \infty$, there exists $ r = r(α) >0$ such that $C_{\mathcal{B}_r}(α) < \infty$. Subsequently, we construct a centered translation invariant density basis $\mathcal{B} = \cup_{x \in \mathbb{R}^n} \mathcal{B}(x)$ such that there does not exist any $0 < r$ satisfying $C_{\mathcal{B}_{r}}(α) < \infty$ for all $0 < α< 1$.
