Maximal Marcinkiewicz multipliers

Let \(\mathcal{M} =\{m_{j}\}_{j=1}^{\infty}\) be a family of Marcinkiewicz multipliers of sufficient uniform smoothness in \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\). We show that the L ^p norm, 1<p<∞, of the related maximal operator

$$M_Nf(x)= \sup_{1\leq j \leq N} |\mathcal{F}^{-1} ( m_j \mathcal{F} f)|(x) $$

is at most C(log(N+2)) ^n/2. We show that this bound is sharp.
