We provide an alternative and self contained proof of the main result of Bennett, Carbery, Tao regarding the multilinear restriction estimate. The approach is inspired by the recent result of Guth about the Kakeya version of multilinear restriction estimate. At lower levels of multilinearity we provide a refined estimate in the context of small support for one of the terms involved.
The first result in this paper provides a very general $ε$-removal argument for the multilinear restriction estimate. The second result provides a refinement of the multilinear restriction estimate in the case when some terms have appropriate localization properties; this generalizes a prior result of the author.
In this paper we establish the optimal multilinear restriction estimate for n-1 hypersurfaces with some curvature, where $n$ is the dimension of the underlying space. The result is sharp up to the endpoint and the role of curvature is made precise in terms of the shape operator.
We revisit the multilinear Kakeya, curved Kakeya, restriction, and oscillatory integral estimates that were obtained in paper of Bennett, Carbery, and the author using a heat flow monotonicity method applied to a fractional Cartesian product, together with induction on scales arguments. Many of these estimates contained losses of the form $R^\varepsilon$ (or $\log^{O(1)} R$) for some scale factor $R$. By further developing the heat flow method, and applying it directly for the first time to the multilinear curved Kakeya and restriction settings, we are able to eliminate these losses, as long a…
Bennett, Carbery and Tao considered the $k$-linear restriction estimate in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ and established the near optimal $L^\frac2{k-1}$ estimate under transversality assumptions only. We have shown that the trilinear restriction estimate improves its range of exponents under some curvature assumptions. In this paper we establish almost sharp multilinear estimates for a class of hypersurfaces with curvature for $4 \leq k \leq n$. Together with previous results in the literature, this shows that curvature improves the range of exponents in the multilinear restriction estimate at all level…
We prove $d$-linear analogues of the classical restriction and Kakeya conjectures in $\R^d$. Our approach involves obtaining monotonicity formulae pertaining to a certain evolution of families of gaussians, closely related to heat flow. We conclude by giving some applications to the corresponding variable-coefficient problems and the so-called "joints" problem, as well as presenting some $n$-linear analogues for $n<d$.
Christ, Li, Tao, and Thiele have established multilinear oscillatory integral operator inequalities under severe dimensional restrictions. These restrictions are relaxed substantially in the present paper, but are by no means eliminated. The simple method used here has the advantage of yielding power type bounds, but cannot be expected to extend to the general case.
The restriction problem is better understood for hypersurfaces and recent progresses have been made by bilinear and multilinear approaches and most recently polynomial partitioning method which is combined with those estimates. However, for surfaces with codimension bigger than 1, bilinear and multilinear generalization of restriction estimates are more involved and effectiveness of these multilinear estimates is not so well understood yet. Regarding the restriction problem for the surfaces with codimensions bigger than 1, the current state of the art is still at the level of $TT^*$ method whi…
We apply the Bennett-Carbery-Tao multilinear restriction estimate in order to bound restriction operators and more general oscillatory integral operators. We get improved L^p estimates in the Stein restriction problem for dimension at least 5 and a small improvement in dimension 3. We prove similar estimates for Hormander-type oscillatory integral operators when the quadratic term in the phase function is positive definite, getting improvements in dimension at least 5. We also prove estimates for Hormander-type oscillatory integral operators in even dimensions. These last oscillatory estimates…
This paper considers the problem of $L^p$-estimates for a certain multilinear functional involving integration against a kernel with the structure of a determinant. Examples of such objects are ubiquitous in the study of Fourier restriction and geometric averaging operators. It is shown that, under very general circumstances, the boundedness of such functionals is equivalent to a geometric inequality for measures which has recently appeared in work by D. Oberlin (Math Proc. Cambridge. Philos. Soc., 129, 2000) and Bak, Oberlin, and Seeger (J. Aust. Math. Soc., 85, 2008).
In this paper we consider adjoint restriction estimates for space curves with respect to general measures and obtain optimal estimates when the curves satisfy a finite type condition. The argument here is new in that it doesn't rely on the \emph{offspring curve} method, which has been extensively used in the previous works. Our work was inspired by the recent argument due to Bourgain and Guth which was used to deduce linear restriction estimates from multilinear estimates for hypersurfaces.
In this paper, we present a different proof on the discrete Fourier restriction. The proof recovers Bourgain's level set result on Strichartz estimates associated with Schrödinger equations on torus. Some sharp estimates on $L^{\frac{2(d+2)}{d}}$ norm of certain exponential sums in higher dimensional cases are established. As an application, we show that some discrete multilinear maximal functions are bounded on $L^2(\mathbb Z)$.
Consider the Fourier restriction operator associated to a curve in $R^d$, $d\ge 3$. We prove for various classes of curves the endpoint restricted strong type estimate with respect to affine arclength measure on the curve. An essential ingredient is an interpolation result for multilinear operators with symmetries acting on sequences of vector-valued functions.
We provide $L^p \to L^q$ refinements on some Fourier restriction estimates obtained using polynomial partitioning. Let $S\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ be a compact $C^\infty$ surface with strictly positive second fundamental form. We derive sharp $L^p(S) \to L^q(\mathbb{R}^3)$ estimates for the associated Fourier extension operator for $q> 3.25$ and $q\geq 2p'$ from an estimate of Guth that was used to obtain $L^\infty(S) \to L^q(\mathbb{R}^3)$ bounds for $q>3.25$. We present a slightly weaker result when $S$ is the hyperbolic paraboloid in $\mathbb{R}^3$ based on the work of Cho and Lee. Finally, we …
Uniqueness in the Calderón problem in dimension bigger than two was usually studied under the assumption that conductivity has bounded gradient. For conductivities with unbounded gradients uniqueness results have not been known until recent years. The latest result due to Haberman basically relies on the optimal $L^2$ restriction estimate for hypersurface which is known as the Tomas-Stein restriction theorem. In the course of developments of the Fourier restriction problem bilinear and multilinear generalizations of the (adjoint) restriction estimates under suitable transversality condition be…
For $ 1\le k <n$, we prove that for functions $F,G$ on $ {\Bbb R}^{n}$, any $k$-dimensional affine subspace $H \subset {\Bbb R}^{n}$, and $p,q,r \ge 2$ with $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}+\frac{1}{r}=1$, one has the estimate $$ {||(F*G)|_H||}_{L^{r}(H)} \leq {||F||}_{Λ^H_{2, p}({\Bbb R}^{n})} \cdot {||G||}_{Λ^H_{2, q}({\Bbb R}^{n})},$$ where the mixed norms on the right are defined by $$ {||F||}_{Λ^H_{2,p}({\Bbb R}^{n})}={(\int_{H^*} {(\int {|\hat{F}|}^2 dH_ξ^{\perp})}^{\frac{p}{2}} dξ)}^{\frac{1}{p}},$$ with $dH_ξ^{\perp}$ the $(n-k)$-dimensional Lebesgue measure on the affine subspace $H_ξ^{\perp}…
We prove the $l^2$ Decoupling Conjecture for compact hypersurfaces with positive definite second fundamental form and also for the cone. This has a wide range of important consequences. One of them is the validity of the Discrete Restriction Conjecture, which (up to $N^ε$ losses) implies the full range of expected $L^p_{x,t}$ Strichartz estimates for both classical and irrational tori. Another one is an improvement in the range for the discrete restriction theory for lattice points on the sphere. Various applications in Additive Combinatorics, Incidence Geometry and Number Theory are also disc…
We investigate the interplay between the discrete restriction phenomenon and incidence theory. Two angles are explored. One is a refinement of the machinery developed by Thomas Wolff, which when combined with a recent subcritical estimate of Bourgain leads to new Strichartz estimates for irrational tori. The other one connects various additive energies with the Szemerédi-Trotter Theorem. The combination of the two approaches recovers the best known Strichartz estimates for the classical torus in dimensions $n\ge 3$, without any appeal to number theory.
We consider bilinear restriction estimates for wave-Schrödinger interactions and provided a sharp condition to ensure that the product belongs to $L^q_t L^r_x$ in the full bilinear range $\frac{2}{q} + \frac{d+1}{r} < d+1$, $1 \leqslant q, r \leqslant 2$. Moreover, we give a counter-example which shows that the bilinear restriction estimate can fail, even in the transverse setting. This failure is closely related to the lack of curvature of the cone. Finally we mention extensions of these estimates to adapted function spaces. In particular we give a general transference type principle for $U^2…
