WEKGHTED WEAK TYPE ESTIMATES FOR CERTAIN MAXIMAL OPERATORS IN SPACES OF HOMOGENEOUS TYPE

Let $\nu$ be a positive Borel measure on a space of homogeneous type (X, d, $\mu$), satisfying the doubling property. A condition on a weight $\omega$ for whixh a maximal operator $M\nu f$(x) defined by M$mu$f(x)=supr>0{{{{ { 1} over {ν(B(x,r)) } INT _{ B(x,r)} │f(y)│d mu (y)}}}}, is of weak type (p,p) with respect to (ν, $omega$), is that there exists a constant C such that C $omega$(y) for a.e. y$\in$B(x, r) if p=1, and {{{{( { 1} over { upsilon (B(x,r) } INT _{ B(x,r)}omega(y) ^ (-1/p-1) d mu (y))^(p-1)}}}} C, if 1$infty$.
