Résumé

Let D be an open subset of a homogeneous space(X,d,μ). Consider the maximal function $M_φ f(x) = sup1/φ(B) ʃ_{B∩∂D} |f|dν$, x∈ D, where the supremum is taken over all balls of the form B = B(a(x),r) with r > t(x) = d(x,∂D), a(x)∈ ∂D is such that d(a(x),x) 3/2 t(x)$ and φ is a nonnegative set function defined for all Borel sets of X satisfying the quasi-monotonicity and doubling properties. We give a necessary and sufficient condition on the weights w and v for the weighted norm inequality (0.1) $(ʃ_D [M_φ(f)]^q wdμ)^{1/q} ≤ c(ʃ_{∂D} |f|^p vdν)^{1/p}$ to hold when 1 p q ∞, $σdν = v^{1-p'}dν$ is a doubling weight, and dν is a doubling measure, and give a sufficient condition for (0.1) when 1 p ≤ q ∞ without assuming that σ is a doubling weight but with an extra assumption on φ. Another characterization for (0.1) is also provided for 1 p ≤ q ∞ and D of the form Y×(0,∞), where Y is a homogeneous space with group structure. These results generalize some known theorems in the case when $M_φ$ is the fractional maximal function in $ℝ^{n+1}_+$, that is, when $M_φ f(x,t) = M_γ f(x,t) = sup_{r>t} 1/(ν(B(x,r))^{1-γ}) ʃ_{B(x,r)} |f|dν$, where $(x,t) ∈ ℝ^{n+1}_+$, 0 γ 1, and ν is a doubling measure in $ℝ^n$.
