Fractional maximal operators with weighted Hausdorff content

Abstract

Let $n\ge 2$ be the spatial dimension. The purpose of this note is to obtain some weighted estimates for the fractional maximal operator ${\mathfrak M}{\alpha}$ of order $\alpha$, $0\le\alpha<n$, on the weighted Choquet-Lorentz space $L^{p,q}(H_{w}^{d})$, where the weight $w$ is arbitrary and the underlying measure is the weighted $d$-dimensional Hausdorff content $H^{d}_{w}$, $0<d\le n$. Concerning a dependence of two parameters $\alpha$ and $d$, we establish a general form of the Fefferman-Stein type inequalities for ${\mathfrak M}_{\alpha}$. Our results contain the works of Adams, \cite{Ad} and of Orobitg and Verdera \cite{OV} as the special cases. Our results also imply the Tang result \cite{Ta}, if we assume the weight $w$ is in the Muckenhoupt $A_{1}$-class.
