We consider the multiplier $m_{\mu }$ defined for ξ ∈ ℝ by $m_{\mu }\left(\xi \right)\doteq {((1-\xi ₁²-\xi ₂²)/(1-\xi ₁))}^{\mu }{1}_D\left(\xi \right)$, D denoting the open unit disk in ℝ. Given p ∈ ]1,∞[, we show that the optimal range of μ’s for which $m_{\mu }$ is a Fourier multiplier on $L^p$ is the same as for Bochner-Riesz means. The key ingredient is a lemma about some modifications of Bochner-Riesz means inside convex regions with smooth boundary and non-vanishing curvature, providing a more flexible version of a result by Iosevich et al. [Publ. Mat. 46 (2002)]. As an application, we show that the...

Some results of Bourgain on the radial variation of harmonic functions in the disk are extended to the setting of harmonic functions in upper half-spaces.
