Remark on “Maximal functions on the unit n-sphere” by Peter M. Knopf (1987)

Correction to Pacific Journal of Mathematics 129 (1987) 77–84

Abstract

The article in question contains an important result on the behavior of the Hardy–Littlewood maximal function MSn on the unit n-sphere, providing a weak-type linear bound that has not been improved on in the intervening decades. Unfortunately, the proof has a gap, since it relies on an incorrect intermediate result (Lemma 3). We correct the proof by providing a sharper lower bound for a trigonometry integral than the one used by Knopf.
