Abstract In this paper, we establish L p estimates for certain class of maximal functions on product domains with rough kernels in L q (Sn−1 × Sm−1 ) (n, m ≥ 2). These estimates are used in an extrapolation argument to obtain some new improved and extended results on maximal functions.

1 Introduction Let n, m ≥ 2, and let S N −1 (N = n or m) be the unit sphere in R N equipped with the normalized Lebesgue surface measure dσ = dσ (·). Also, let x  = x/|x| for x ∈ Rn \{0}, y  = y/|y| for y ∈ Rm \{0}. Let p  denote to the exponent conjugate to p.

Let K ,h (x, y) = (x  , y  )|x|−n |y|−m h(|x|, |y|), where h is a measurable function on R+ × R+ and  is a homogeneous function of degree zero on Rn × Rm with  ∈ L 1 (Sn−1 × Sm−1 ) satisfying the cancellation conditions:  Sn−1
(x  , .)dσ (x  ) =

Let P : Rn → R, Q : Rm → R be real valued polynomials, for f ∈ S(Rn × Rm ). Define the maximal function M,P,Q by        i P(u) i Q(v)  M,P,Q ( f )(x, y) = sup  e e f (x − u, y − v)K ,h (u, v)dudv  , h∈U   n m R ×R
(1.2) where U is the class of all h ∈ L 2 (R+ × R+ , drr ds ) with h dr ds ≤ 1. + + 2 L (R ×R , r s ) s When P(u) = 0 = Q(v), then the operator M,P,Q is the classical maximal integral operator on product domains, denoted by M,c , which was studied by many mathematicians. For example, Ding in [9] gave the L 2 boundedness of M,c provided that  ∈ L(log L)2 (Sn−1 × Sm−1 ). This result was improved in [6] in which the author showed that M,c is bounded on L p for all 2 ≤ p < ∞ when the function  ∈ L(log L)(Sn−1 × Sm−1 ). He also proved the optimality of the condition in the sense that the space L(log L)(Sn−1 × Sm−1 ) cannot be replaced by L(log L)1−ε (Sn−1 × Sm−1 ) for any 0 < ε < 1. For more information about the importance and the recent advances on the study of such operators, the readers are refereed to [5], and for the corresponding results in the one parameter cases, see for instance [3,7,8,10] and references therein. The primary focus of this paper is to establish the L p estimates of M,P,Q for p ≥ 2 with rough kernels in L q (Sn−1 × Sm−1 ) for some q > 1; then apply the extrapolation argument used in [2] to obtain new improved results. Our main result is formulated as follows: Theorem 1.1 Let  ∈ L q (Sn−1 ×Sm−1 ) for some q > 1 be a homogeneous function of degree zero on Rn ×Rm satisfies the condition (1.1) with 1 ≤ 1. Let P : Rn → R, Q : Rm → R be two real valued polynomials of degree d1 , d2 , respectively. Then     M,P,Q ( f ) ≤ C p Aq 1 + wq ()  f  p p for all p ≥ 2, where Aq = (
1  2 /q )2 1/q  2 −1
(1.3)
and ωq () = log(e + q ).
The power of our theorem lies in using its conclusion and an extrapolation argument (see [2]) to obtain improved results. In particular, Theorem 1.1 and extrapolation lead to the following theorem. Theorem 1.2 Suppose that  is a homogeneous function of degree zero on Rn × Rm satisfies the condition (1.1). Let f ∈ L p (Rn × Rm ) with p ≥ 2.

2 Preliminary results In this section, we give some auxiliary lemmas used in the sequel. In order to prove Theorem 1.1, we need to the following lemmas. Lemma 2.1 Suppose that  ∈ L 1 (Sn−1 × Sm−1 ) satisfying the condition (1.1). Let M : Rn × Rm → R be given by  M f (x, y) = sup
i, j∈Z
  | f (x − u, y − v)| |u|−n |v|−m (u  , v  ) dudv,
i, j
(2.1)
where i, j = {(u, v) ∈ Rn × Rm : 2i ≤ |u| < 2i+1 , 2 j ≤ |v| < 2 j+1 }. Then for p ∈ (1, ∞), there exists a constant C p > 0 such that M f  p ≤ C p 1  f  p
(2.2)
for every f ∈ L p (Rn × Rm ). Proof It is trivial to obtain  M f (x, y) ≤ C

Hence, Minkowski’s inequality for integrals yields that M f  p ≤ C p 1 Mv Mu (| f |) p , t where Mu f (x) = supt∈R 1t 0 f (x − tu)dt is the Hardy–Littlewood maximal function of f in the direction u, Mu f (x, y) = Mu f (·, y)(x), Mv f (x, y) =

Mv f (x, ·)(y), and denotes the composition of operators. Therefore, since the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function is bounded on L p (Rn ) for p > 1, then by the latter inequality we immediately get (2.2).

The following lemma can be obtained by applying similar arguments used in [4]. Lemma 2.3 Let q > 1, and let  ∈ L q (Sn−1 × Sm−1 ) be a homogenous function of degree zero on Rn × Rm that satisfies the condition (1.1) with 1 ≤ 1. Then there exists a constant C p (independent of the function  and the index q) such that   M,c ( f ) ≤ C p wq ()Aq  f  p p
(2.9)
holds for all p ≥ 2. Proof Let {wk,ωq () }k∈Z be a smooth partition of unity on (0, ∞) adapted to the intervals Ik,ωq () = [2−(k+1)ωq () , 2−(k−1)ωq () ]. More precisely, we require the following: wk,ωq () ∈ C ∞ , 0 ≤ wk,ωq () ≤ 1,

Let us first compute the L 2 -norm of E i, j . The same arguments used in [1] and [8] lead to    E i, j ( f ) ≤ C2−δ(|i|+| j|)/q  wq () f 2 , (2.11) 2 and

for some 0 < ε < 1 and for all 2 ≤ p < ∞. Consequently, the inequality (2.9) follows immediately by (2.10) and (2.13). This completes the proof of Lemma 2.3. 
3 Proof of Theorem 1.1 We prove Theorem 1.1 by using the mathematical induction on the degrees of the polynomials P and Q. If d1 = d2 = 0, then it is easy to see M,P,Q ( f )(x, y) ≤ CM,c ( f )(x, y).
(3.1)
Thus, by Lemma 2.3 we get that   M,P,Q ( f ) ≤ C p Aq wq () f  p p   ≤ C p Aq 1 + wq ()  f  p
(3.2)
for any p ≥ 2. The inequality (1.5) is directly obtained, for the cases d1 = 0 or d2 = 0, by following the same approach used in [4]. Let us prove (1.5) for the cases d1 = 1 or d2 = 1, so we can write P(x) = a.x for some a ∈ Rn and Q(y) = b.y for some b ∈ Rm . Hence by the latter inequality, we have   M,P,Q ( f ) ≤ C p Aq wq ()W  p p   ≤ C p Aq 1 + wq ()  f  p ,
(3.3)
where W (x, y) = ei P(x) ei Q(y) f (x, y). Next, assume that (1.5) holds for all polynomials G and 
Q such that degr ee(G) < d1 +1 and degr ee(Q) = d2 where d1 , d2 > 1. Let P(x) = |α|≤d1 +1 aα x α be polynomials of degree d1 + 1 and let ⎛∞∞ ⎞1 2   2 dr1 dr2    ⎝ ⎠ E P,Q,, f (r1 , r2 , x, y) , M,P,Q ( f )(x, y) = r1 r2 0
