On the maximal function for the generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup

Abstract

In this note we consider the maximal function for the generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup in R associated with the generalized Hermite polynomials (Hμn) and prove that it is weak type (1,1) with respect to dλμ(x) = |x|2μ e−|x|2dx, for μ > –1/2 as well as bounded on Lp(dλμ) for p > 1.
