Maximal operators and Hilbert transforms along variable non-flat   homogeneous curves
  We prove that the maximal operator associated with variable homogeneous planar curves $(t, u t^{\alpha})_{t\in \mathbb{R}}$, $\alpha\not=1$ positive, is bounded on $L^p(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for each $p>1$, under the assumption that $u:\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$ is a Lipschitz function. Furthermore, we prove that the Hilbert transform associated with $(t, ut^{\alpha})_{t\in \mathbb{R}}$, $\alpha\not=1$ positive, is bounded on $L^p(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for each $p>1$, under the assumption that $u:\mathbb{R}^2\to \mathbb{R}$ is a measurable function and is constant in the second variable. Our proofs rely on stationary phase methods, $TT^*$ arguments, local smoothing estimates and a pointwise estimate for taking averages along curves.
