The purpose of this paper is to prove an essentially sharp L^2 Fourier restriction estimate for light cones, of the type which is called bilinear in the recent literature.
We prove an $L^2 \times L^2 \rightarrow L_t^qL_x^p $ bilinear Fourier extension estimate for the cone when $p,q$ are on the critical line $1/q=(\frac{n+1}{2})(1-1/p)$. This extends previous results by Wolff, Tao and Lee-Vargas.
We provide a general scheme for proving $L^p$ estimates for certain bilinear Fourier restrictions outside the locally $L^2$ setting. As an application, we show how such estimates follow for the lacunary polygon. In contrast with prior approaches, our argument avoids any use of the Rubio de Francia Littlewood--Paley inequality.
Conditional on Fourier restriction estimates for elliptic hypersurfaces, we prove optimal restriction estimates for polynomial hypersurfaces of revolution for which the defining polynomial has non-negative coefficients. In particular, we obtain uniform--depending only on the dimension and polynomial degree--estimates for restriction with affine surface measure, slightly beyond the bilinear range. The main step in the proof of our linear result is an (unconditional) bilinear adjoint restriction estimate for pieces at different scales.
In connection with the restriction problem in $\mathbb R^n$ for hypersurfaces including the sphere and paraboloid, the bilinear (adjoint) restriction estimates have been extensively studied. However, not much is known about such estimates for surfaces with codimension (and dimension) larger than one. In this paper we show sharp bilinear $L^2 \times L^2 \to L^q$ restriction estimates for general surfaces of higher codimension. In some special cases, we can apply these results to obtain the corresponding linear estimates.
Bilinear restriction estimates have been appeared in work of Bourgain, Klainerman, and Machedon. In this paper we develop the theory of these estimates (together with the analogues for Kakeya estimates). As a consequence we improve the $(L^p,L^p)$ spherical restriction theorem of Wolff from $p > 42/11$ to $p > 34/9$, and also obtain a sharp $(L^p,L^q)$ spherical restriction theorem for $q > 4 - 5/27$.
Recently Wolff obtained a sharp $L^2$ bilinear restriction theorem for bounded subsets of the cone in general dimension. Here we adapt the argument of Wolff to also handle subsets of ``elliptic surfaces'' such as paraboloids and spheres. Except for an endpoint, this answers a conjecture of Machedon and Klainerman, and also improves upon the known restriction theory for the paraboloid and sphere.
Let $\mathbb{H}$ be a $(d-1)$-dimensonal hyperbolic paraboloid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and let $Ef$ be the Fourier extension operator associated to $\mathbb{H},$ with $f$ supported in $B^{d-1}(0,2)$. We prove that $\|Ef\|_{L^p (B(0,R))} \leq C_εR^ε\|f\|_{L^p}$ for all $p \geq \frac{2(d+2)}{d}$ whenever $ \frac{d}{2} \geq m + 1$, where $m$ is the minimum between the number of positive and negative principal curvatures of $\mathbb{H}$. Bilinear restriction estimates for $\mathbb{H}$ proved by S. Lee and Vargas play an important role in our argument.
Using a bilinear restriction theorem of Lee and a bilinear-to-linear argument of Stovall, we obtain the conjectured range of Fourier restriction estimates for a conical hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^4$ with hyperbolic cross sections.
In Fourier restriction problems, a cone and a paraboloid are model surfaces. The sharp bilinear cone restriction estimate was first shown by Wolff, and later the endpoint was obtained by Tao. For a paraboloid, the sharp $L^2$ bilinear restriction estimate was obtained by Tao, but the endpoint was remained open. In this paper we prove the endpoint $L^2$ bilinear restriction estimate for a paraboloid.
For cylindrically symmetric functions dyadically supported on the paraboloid, we obtain a family of sharp linear and bilinear adjoint restriction estimates. As corollaries, we first extend the ranges of exponents for the classical \textit{linear or bilinear adjoint restriction conjectures} for such functions and verify the \textit{linear adjoint restriction conjecture} for the paraboloid. We also interpret the restriction estimates in terms of solutions to the Schrödinger equation and establish the analogous results when the paraboloid is replaced by the lower third of the sphere.
We prove (adjoint) bilinear restriction estimates for general phases at different scales in the full non-endpoint mixed norm range, and give bounds with a sharp and explicit dependence on the phases. These estimates have applications to high-low frequency interactions for solutions to partial differential equations, as well as to the linear restriction problem for surfaces with degenerate curvature. As a consequence, we obtain new bilinear restriction estimates for elliptic phases and wave/Klein-Gordon interactions in the full bilinear range, and give a refined Strichartz inequality for the Kl…
We obtain improved Fourier restriction estimate for the truncated cone using the method of polynomial partitioning in dimension $n\geq 3$, which in particular solves the cone restriction conjecture for $n=5$, and recovers the sharp range for $3\leq n\leq 4$. The main ingredient of the proof is a $k$-broad estimate for the cone extension operator, which is a weak version of the $k$-linear cone restriction estimate for $2\leq k\leq n$.
Recently Wolff obtained a nearly sharp $L^2$ bilinear restriction theorem for bounded subsets of the cone in general dimension. We obtain the endpoint of Wolff's estimate and generalize to the case when one of the subsets is large. As a consequence, we are able to deduce some nearly-sharp $L^p$ null form estimates.
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…
The first purpose of this paper is to solve completely the finite field cone restriction conjecture in four dimensions with $-1$ non-square. The second is to introduce a new approach to study incidence problems via restriction theory. More precisely, using the cone restriction estimates, we will prove sharp point-sphere incidence bounds associated with complex-valued functions for sphere sets of small size. Our incidence bounds with a specific function improve significantly a result given by Cilleruelo, Iosevich, Lund, Roche-Newton, and Rudnev.
It is known that under some transversality and curvature assumptions on the hypersurfaces involved, the bilinear restriction estimate holds true with better exponents than what would trivially follow from the corresponding linear estimates. This subject was extensively studied for conic and parabolic surfaces with sharp results proved by Wolff and Tao, and with later generalizations by Lee. In this paper we provide a unified theory for general hypersurfaces and clarify the role of curvature in this problem, by making statements in terms of the shape operators of the hypersurfaces involved.
Firstly, bilinear Fourier Restriction estimates --which are well-known for free waves-- are extended to adapted spaces of functions of bounded quadratic variation, under quantitative assumptions on the phase functions. This has applications to nonlinear dispersive equations, in particular in the presence of resonances. Secondly, critical global well-posedness and scattering results for massive Dirac-Klein-Gordon systems in dimension three are obtained, in resonant as well as in non-resonant regimes. The results apply to small initial data in scale-invariant Sobolev spaces exhibiting a small am…
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 prove global Fourier restriction estimates for elliptic, or two-sheeted, hyperboloids of arbitrary dimension $d \geq 2$, extending recent joint work with Oliveira e Silva and Stovall. Our results are unconditional in the (adjoint) bilinear range, $q > \frac{2(d+3)}{d+1}$, and extend conditionally upon further progress toward the local restriction conjecture for elliptic surfaces.
The bilinear estimtate in proposition 7.15 [J. Bourgain, Fourier restriction phenomena for certain lattice subsets and applications to nonlinear evolution equations, Parts II, Geometric Funct. Anal. 3(3) (1993) 209-262.] plays an essential role in the study of the nonlinear term of KdV equation. In this paper, this estimate is extended to the a more general water-vave equations. We hope this result could shed some light on the estimates of nonlinear terms of water-vave equations.
This result sharpens the bilinear to linear deduction of Lee and Vargas for extension estimates on the hyperbolic paraboloid in $\mathbb R^3$ to the sharp line, leading to the first scale-invariant restriction estimates, beyond the Stein--Tomas range, for a hypersurface on which the principal curvatures have different signs.
In this note, we present two arguments showing that the classical \textit{linear adjoint cone restriction conjecture} holds for the class of functions supported on the cone and invariant under the spatial rotation in all dimensions. The first is based on a dyadic restriction estimate, while the second follows from a strengthening version of the Hausdorff-Young inequality and the Hölder inequality in the Lorentz spaces.
It is known that extremizers for the $L^2$ to $L^6$ adjoint Fourier restriction inequality on the cone in $\mathbb{R}^3$ exist. Here we show that nonnegative extremizing sequences are precompact, after the application of symmetries of the cone. If we use the knowledge of the exact form of the extremizers, as found by Carneiro, then we can show that nonnegative extremizing sequences converge, after the application of symmetries.
In this article, we define the Fourier-Dunkl transform, which generalizes the Fourier transform. We prove Strichartz's restriction theorem for the Fourier-Dunkl transform for a cone-hyper-surface and its generalisation to the family of orthonormal functions. As an application of this restriction theorem, we derive the Strichartz inequality associated with the square root of Dunkl Laplacian for the family of orthonormal functions.
Motivated by the problem of spherical summability of products of Fourier series, we study the boundedness of the bilinear Bochner-Riesz multipliers $(1-|ξ|^2-|η|^2)^δ_+$ and we make some advances in this investigation. We obtain an optimal result concerning the boundedness of these means from $L^2\times L^2 $ into $L^1$ with minimal smoothness, i.e., any $δ>0$, and we obtain estimates for other pairs of spaces for larger values of $δ$. Our study is broad enough to encompass general bilinear multipliers $m(ξ,η)$ radial in $ξ$ and $η$ with minimal smoothness, measured in Sobolev space norms. Our…
We discuss bilinear estimates of tempered distributions in the Fourier restriction spaces for the two-dimensional Schödinger equation whose principal part is the d'Alembertian. We prove that the bilinear estimates hold if and only if the tempered distributions are functions.
We show that, possibly after a compactification of spacetime, constant functions are local maximizers of the Tomas-Stein adjoint Fourier restriction inequality for the cone and paraboloid in every dimension, and for the sphere in dimension up to 60. For the cone and paraboloid we work from the PDE framework, which enables the use of the Penrose and the Lens transformations, which map the conjectured optimal functions into constants.
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…
In contrast to elliptic surfaces, the Fourier restriction problem for hypersurfaces of non-vanishing Gaussian curvature which admit principal curvatures of opposite signs is still hardly understood. In fact, even for 2-surfaces, the only case of a hyperbolic surface for which Fourier restriction estimates could be established that are analogous to the ones known for elliptic surfaces is the hyperbolic paraboloid or "saddle" z = xy. The bilinear method gave here sharp results for p > 10/3 (Lee 05, Vargas 05, Stovall 17), and this result was recently improved to p > 3.25 (Cho-Lee 17, Kim 17). Th…
We prove that in dimensions $d \geq 3$, the non-endpoint, Lorentz-invariant $L^2 \to L^p$ adjoint Fourier restriction inequality on the $d$-dimensional hyperboloid $\mathbb{H}^d \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ possesses maximizers. The analogous result had been previously established in dimensions $d=1,2$ using the convolution structure of the inequality at the lower endpoint (an even integer); we obtain the generalization by using tools from bilinear restriction theory.
We prove certain endpoint restriction estimates for the paraboloid over finite fields in three and higher dimensions. Working in the bilinear setting, we are able to pass from estimates for characteristic functions to estimates for general functions while avoiding the extra logarithmic power of the field size which is introduced by the dyadic pigeonhole approach. This allows us to remove logarithmic factors from the estimates obtained by Mockenhaupt and Tao in three dimensions and those obtained by Iosevich and Koh in higher dimensions.
The problem of $L^p(R^3)\to L^2(S)$ Fourier restriction estimates for smooth hypersurfaces S of finite type in R^3 is by now very well understood for a large class of hypersurfaces, including all analytic ones. In this article, we take up the study of more general $L^p(R^3)\to L^q(S)$ Fourier restriction estimates, by studying a prototypical class of two-dimensional surfaces with strongly varying curvature conditions. Our approach is based on an adaptation of the so-called bilinear method. We discuss several new features arising in the study of this problem.
In this note, we continue our research on Fourier restriction for hyperbolic surfaces, by studying local perturbations of the hyperbolic paraboloid $z=xy,$ which are of the form $z=xy+h(y),$ where $h(y)$ is a smooth function of finite type. Our results build on previous joint work in which we have studied the case $h(y)=y^3/3$ by means of the bilinear method. As it turns out, the understanding of that special case becomes also crucial for the treatment of arbitrary finite type perturbation terms $h(y).$
We study $L^p\to L^r$ estimates for restricted averaging operators related to algebraic varieties $V$ of $d$-dimensional vector spaces over finite fields $\mathbb F_q$ with $q$ elements. We observe properties of both the Fourier restriction operator and the averaging operator over $V\subset \mathbb F_q^d.$ As a consequence, we obtain optimal results on the restricted averaging problems for spheres and paraboloids in dimensions $d\ge2,$ and cones in odd dimensions $d\ge 3.$ In addition, when the variety $V$ is a cone lying in an even dimensional vector space over $\mathbb F_q$ and $-1$ is a squ…
We continue our research on Fourier restriction for hyperbolic surfaces, by studying local perturbations of the hyperbolic paraboloid $z=xy$ which are of the form $z=xy+h(y),$ where $h(y)$ is a smooth function which is flat at the origin. The case of perturbations of finite type had already been handled before, but the flat case imposes several new obstacles. By means of a decomposition into intervals on which $|h'''|$ is of a fixed size $λ,$ we can apply methods devised in preceding papers, but since we loose control on higher order derivatives of $h$ we are forced to rework the bilinear meth…

We deal with the restriction phenomenon for the Fourier transform. We prove that each of the restriction conjectures for the sphere, the paraboloid, the elliptic hyperboloid in $\mathbb{R}^n$ implies that for the cone in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. We also prove a new restriction estimate for any surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ locally isometric to the plane and of finite type.
We study the behavior of the bilinear Hilbert transform $\mathrm{BHT}$ at the boundary of the known boundedness region $\mathcal H$. A sample of our results is the estimate $| \langle\mathrm{BHT}(f_1,f_2),f_3 \rangle | \leq C |F_1|^{\frac34}|F_2| ^{\frac34} |F_3|^{-\frac12} \log\log \Big(\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{e}} + \frac{|F_3|}{\min\{|F_1|,|F_2|\}} \Big) $ valid for all tuples of sets $F_j \subset \mathbb R $ of finite measure and functions $f_j$ such that $|f_j| \leq \mathbf{1}_{F_j}$, $j=1,2,3$, with the additional restriction that $f_3$ be supported on a major subset $F_3'$ of $F_3$ that depe…
The purpose of this note is to discuss how various Sobolev spaces defined on multiple cones behave with respect to density of smooth functions, interpolation and extension/restriction to/from $\RR^n$. The analysis interestingly combines use of Poincaré inequalities and of some Hardy type inequalities.
We consider several problems related to the restriction of $(\nabla^k) \hat{f}$ to a surface $Σ\subset \mathbb R^d$ with nonvanishing Gauss curvature. While such restrictions clearly exist if $f$ is a Schwartz function, there are few bounds available that enable one to take limits with respect to the $L_p(\mathbb R^d)$ norm of $f$. We establish three scenarios where it is possible to do so: $\bullet$ When the restriction is measured according to a Sobolev space $H^{-s}(Σ)$ of negative index. We determine the complete range of indices $(k, s, p)$ for which such a bound exists. $\bullet$ Among f…
This is a continuation of the paper "Restriction theorem for Fourier-Dunkl transform I: Cone surface, J. Pseudo-Differ. Oper. Appl. 14(1), Paper No. 5 (2023)", where the authors introduced and studied the Fourier-Dunkl transform on $\mathbb{R}^{n}\times\mathbb{R}^{d}$. The main novelty of this paper is that we here prove Strichartz's restriction theorem for the Fourier-Dunkl transform for certain surfaces, namely, paraboloid, sphere, and hyperboloid and its generalisation to the family of orthonormal functions. Finally, as an application of these restriction theorems, we establish versions of …
An improved lower bound is given for the decay of conical averages of Fourier transforms of measures, for cones of dimension $d \geq 4$. The proof uses a weighted version of the broad restriction inequality, a narrow decoupling inequality for the cone, and some techniques of Du and Zhang originally developed for the Schrödinger equation.
In the past decade, much effort has gone into understanding maximizers for Fourier restriction and extension inequalities. Nearly all of the cases in which maximizers for inequalities involving the restriction or extension operator have been successfully identified can be seen as partial answers to the question in the title. In this survey, we focus on recent developments in sharp restriction theory relevant to this question. We present results in the algebraic case for spherical and hyperbolic extension inequalities. We also discuss the use of the Penrose transform leading to some negative an…
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…
