Improved weighted bounds for the strong maximal function

RESUMO

We improve the exponents of the $A_p$ constant in the strong and weak-type weighted bounds for the strong maximal function, for every $1 < p <\infty$ and every dimension $d \geq 2$. In dimension two, the strong and weak $L^2(w)$ exponents improve from $2$ to $7/4$ and from $3/2$ to $5/4$, respectively. The proof exploits the geometry of pairwise intersections of antichains of dyadic rectangles.
