TL;DR
This work addresses obtaining $L^p$ bounds for maximal operators $\mathcal{M}_m^E$ formed from dilated Fourier multipliers $m(t\cdot)$ when the dilation set $E\subset(0,\infty)$ has fractional Minkowski dimension $\kappa(E)<1$. The authors develop a $\Sigma^2$-Besov regularity framework, proving $L^p$ boundedness for multipliers in $\Sigma^2(B_{p_0}^{d/p_0+s})$ with $\frac{1}{p_0}=\big|\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{p}\big|$ and $s>\frac{d}{p_0}+\frac{\kappa(E)}{2}$, via a vector-valued multiplier approach, fractional calculus, and bilinear interpolation. The results unify and extend existing criteria (including Mikhlin-type, limited decay, and slow decay multipliers) and provide a dimension-dependent mechanism linking the geometry of $E$ to the $p$-range of boundedness. This framework advances maximal Fourier multiplier theory in fractal-dilation settings and has potential applications to spherical-type averages and other fractal-dilation phenomena, where the dilation set's geometry critically governs $L^p$ behavior.
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate $L^p$ bounds of maximal Fourier multiplier operators with dilation of fractional dimensions. For Fourier multipliers, we suggest a criterion related to dimensions of dilation sets which guarantees $L^p$ bounds of the maximal operators for each $p$. Our criterion covers Mikhlin-type multipliers, multipliers with limited decay, and multipliers with slow decay.
