Hilbert transforms and maximal functions along flat curves on the Heisenberg group

We establish the Lᵖ boundedness of Hilbert transforms and maximal functions along flat curves in the Heisenberg group. This generalizes the Rⁿ result by Carbery, Christ, Vance, Wainger, and Watson. What is new about our result compared to the Heisenberg group generalization by Carbery, Wainger, and Wright is that we allow all three components of the curves to vary independently, we keep the original form of the conditions required in the Rⁿ case, and our method is likely to be generalized to other stratified nilpotent groups.
