Spector and Stockdale (2020), the reduction to Dirac masses this paper grew out of evidence for this event

The theorem is the vector-valued endpoint bound $\|Rf\|_{L^{1,\infty}} \le 2\|f\|_{L^1}$ for $R = (R_1,\ldots,R_n)$, so the constant 2 also serves each component $R_j$ uniformly in the dimension; the best previously known component bound grew like $c\log n$. The mechanism is a decomposition theorem stated as Theorem 1.2: for every nonnegative $f \in L^1 \cap L^2$ and every $\lambda > 0$, write $f = \mu + (-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}u$ with $\mu \le \lambda$ and $u$ in the fractional Sobolev space $H^\alpha$, obtained from an obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian together with a Lewy-Stampacchia type estimate on an unbounded domain. That replaces the Calderon-Zygmund decomposition, whose cube geometry is where the dimensional loss enters. parent of this event
