We study the restriction of the Fourier transform to quadratic surfaces in vector spaces over finite fields. In two dimensions, we obtain the sharp result by considering the sums of arbitrary two elements in the subset of quadratic surfaces on two dimensional vector spaces over finite fields. For higher dimensions, we estimate the decay of the Fourier transform of the characteristic functions on quadratic surfaces so that we obtain the Tomas-Stein exponent. Using incidence theorems, we also study the extension theorems in the restricted settings to sizes of sets in quadratic surfaces. Estimates for Gauss and Kloosterman sums and their variants play an important role.
We mostly survey results concerning the $L^2$ boundedness of oscillatory and Fourier integral operators. This article does not intend to give a broad overview; it mainly focusses on a few topics directly related to the work of the authors.
We prove orthogonality relations for some analogs of trigonometric functions on a $q$-quadratic grid and introduce the corresponding $q$-Fourier series. We also discuss several other properties of this basic trigonometric system and the $q$-Fourier series.
Let $T$ be a Fourier integral operator on $\R^n$ of order $-(n-1)/2$. It was shown by Seeger, Sogge, and Stein that $T$ mapped the Hardy space $H^1$ to $L^1$. In this note we show that $T$ is also of weak-type $(1,1)$. The main ideas are a decomposition of $T$ into non-degenerate and degenerate components, and a factorization of the non-degenerate portion.
This note establishes the full range of $L^p$--$L^q$ Fourier extension estimates for the model $n$-dimensional quadratic submanifold in ${\mathbb R}^{n(n+3)/2}$ parametrized by $γ(x_1,\ldots,x_n) := (x_1,\ldots,x_n, (x_i x_j)_{1 \leq i \leq j \leq n})$. This class of submanifolds is extremal in the sense that an $n$-dimensional quadratic submanifold of ${\mathbb R}^d$ can only satisfy nontrivial Fourier extension inequalities when $d \leq \frac{n(n+3)}{2}$. The proof is via an inflation-type argument, with the unexpected twist that a significant amount of "overinflation" is necessary but in no…

We prove several results about integers represented by positive definite quadratic forms, using a Fourier analysis approach. In particular, for an integer $\ell\geq 1$, we improve the error term in the partial sums of the number of representations of integers that are a multiple of $\ell$. This allows us to obtain unconditional Brun-Titchmarsh-type results in short intervals, and a conditional Cramér-type result on the maximum gap between primes represented by a given positive definite quadratic form.
We prove an exponential integral estimate for the quadratic partial sums of multiple Fourier series on large sets that implies some new properties of Fourier series.
These are notes to accompany four lectures that I gave at the School on Additive Combinatorics, held in Montreal, Quebec between March 30th and April 5th 2006. My aim is to introduce ``quadratic fourier analysis'' in so far as we understand it at the present time. Specifically, we will describe ``quadratic objects'' of various types and their relation to additive structures, particularly four-term arithmetic progressions. I will focus on qualitative results, referring the reader to the literature for the many interesting quantitative questions in this theory. Thus these lectures have a distinc…
We prove $L^p \rightarrow L^q$ Fourier restriction estimates for 3-dimensional quadratic surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^5$. Our results are sharp, up to endpoints, for a few classes of surfaces.
We prove that certain means of the quadratical partial sums of the two-dimensional Vilenkin-Fourier series are uniformly bounded operators from the Hardy space $H_{p}$ to the space $L_{p}$ for $0<p\leq 1.$ We also prove that the sequence in the denominator cannot be improved.
We consider the Fourier restriction operators associated to certain degenerate curves in R^d for which the highest torsion vanishes. We prove estimates with respect to affine arclength and with respect to the Euclidean arclength measure on the curve. The estimates have certain uniform features, and the affine arclength results cover families of flat curves.
In this paper, we investigate the behavior of the Fourier transform on finite dimensional 2-step Lie groups and develop a general theory akin to that of the whole space or the torus. We provide a familiar framework in which computations are made sensibly easier than with the usual representation-theoretic Fourier transform. In addition, we study the 'singular frequencies' of the group, at which the canonical bilinear antisymmetric form degenerates. We also exhibit a specific example for which partial degeneracy of the canonical form occurs, as opposed to the full degeneracy at the origin. We t…
We will extend the Fourier restriction inequality for quadratic hypersurfaces obtained by Strichartz. We will consider the case where the hypersurface is a graph of a certain real polynomial which is a sum of one-dimensional monomials. It is essential to examine the decay of a one-dimensional oscillatory
We study boundary value problems for degenerate elliptic equations and systems with square integrable boundary data. We can allow for degeneracies in the form of an $A_{2}$ weight. We obtain representations and boundary traces for solutions in appropriate classes, perturbation results for solvability and solvability in some situations. The technology of earlier works of the first two authors can be adapted to the weighted setting once the needed quadratic estimate is established and we even improve some results in the unweighted setting. The proof of this quadratic estimate does not follow fro…
We prove that certain mean of the quadratical partial sums of the two-dimensional Walsh-Fourier series are uniformly bounded operators from the Hardy space $H_{p}$ to the space $L_{p}$ for $0<p<1.$
