Abstract
We consider the integrability of ϕ(f*) for various maximal functions f* and various increasing functions ϕ. We show that for some of the standard maximal functions arising in harmonic analysis and ergodic theory, there is never integrability of ϕ(f*) for all Lebesgue integrable functions f except in cases where the growth of ϕ is slow enough so that the integrability follows from the standard weak maximal inequalities.
