Bounds for maximal functions associated to rotational invariant measures in high dimensions

In recent articles it was proved that when $μ$ is a finite, radial measure in $\real^n$ with a bounded, radially decreasing density, the $L^p(μ)$ norm of the associated maximal operator $M_μ$ grows to infinity with the dimension for a small range of values of $p$ near 1. We prove that when $μ$ is Lebesgue measure restricted to the unit ball and $p<2$, the $L^p$ operator norms of the maximal operator are unbounded in dimension, even when the action is restricted to radially decreasing functions. In spite of this, this maximal operator admits dimension-free $L^p$ bounds for every $p>2$, when restricted to radially decreasing functions. On the other hand, when $μ$ is the Gaussian measure, the $L^p$ operator norms of the maximal operator grow to infinity with the dimension for any finite $p> 1$, even in the subspace of radially decreasing functions.
