$L^{p} \rightarrow L^{q}$ estimates for maximal functions associated with nonisotropic dilations of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$

The goal of this article is to establish $L^{p} \rightarrow L^{q}$ estimates for maximal functions associated with nonisotropic dilations $δ_t(x)=(t^{a_1}x_1,t^{a_2}x_2,t^{a_3}x_3)$ of hypersurfaces $(x_{1}, x_{2},Φ(x_1,x_2))$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$, where the Gaussian curvatures of the hypersurfaces are allowed to vanish. When $2 α_{2} = α_{3}$, this problem is reduced to study of the $L^{p} \rightarrow L^{q}$ estimates for maximal functions along the curve $γ(x)=(x,x^2(1+ϕ(x)))$ and associated dilations $δ_t(x)=(tx_1,t^2x_2)$. The corresponding maximal function shows features related to the Bourgain circular maximal function, whose $L^{p} \rightarrow L^{q}$ estimate has been considered by [Schlag, JAMS, 1997], [Schlag-Sogge, MRL, 1997] and [Lee, PAMS, 2003]. However, in the study of the maximal function related to the mentioned curve $γ(x)$ and associated dilations, we get the $L^{p} \rightarrow L^{q}$ regularity properties for a family of corresponding Fourier integral operators which fail to satisfy the "cinematic curvature condition" uniformly, which means that classical local smoothing estimates could not be directly applied to our problem. What's more, the $L^{p} \rightarrow L^{q}$ estimates are also new for maximal functions associated with isotropic dilations of hypersurfaces $(x_{1}, x_{2},Φ(x_1,x_2))$ mentioned before.
