Boundedness of projection operators and Ces\`aro means in weighted $L^p$ space on the unit sphere

Abstract

For the weight function $\prod_{i=1}^{d+1}|x_i|^{2\k_i}$ on the unit sphere, sharp local estimates of the orthogonal projection operators are obtained and used to prove the convergence of the Ces\`aro $(C,\delta)$ means in the weighted $L^p$ space for $\delta$ below the critical index. Similar results are also proved for corresponding weight functions on the unit ball and on the simplex.
