Understanding the problem

Read the background

For every real f in W¹,¹(R²), the centered-disk maximal function has a globally integrable weak gradient and satisfies ||∇Mf||₁ ≤ C||∇f||₁ for an absolute constant C.

Why it matters

If correct, resolves the planar centered-disk case of a longstanding Sobolev endpoint question.

What counts as progress

Does the centered disk maximal operator preserve an L¹ gradient bound on W¹,¹(R²)?
