Abstract

This thesis is devoted to asymptotic norm estimates for oscillatory integral operators acting on the L^2 space of functions of one real variable. The operators in question have compact support and an oscillatory kernel of the form exp(i Lambda S(x,y)), where S(x,y) is a smooth real phase function, and Lambda is a large real number. I study how the norm of the operator decays as Lambda goes to infinity, and how the rate of this decay can be determined from the properties of the phase function S(x,y). For C^infinity phase functions I prove results formulated in terms of the Newton polygon of S(x,y), improving previously known estimates by Phong and Stein, and Seeger. My estimates are best possible or differ from the best possible ones by at most a power of log Lambda. Main results of the thesis are based on a geometric analysis of the zero set of the Hessian S''_{xy} using Puiseux decompositions, and have appeared before in [math.CA/9911153]. New results obtained by a different method based on a stopping time argument are also included.

On the log-concavity of the composite Bessel function $x^{\alpha}J_{\nu }\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $

For a twice differentiable function $f:\left( a,b\right) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ define $v\left( f\right) =f^{\prime}f^{\prime}-f^{\prime\prime }f.$ It is well known that the positivity of $v\left( f\right) $ implies that the function $\left\vert f\right\vert $ is strictly log-concave on each subinterval which does not contain zeros of $f.$ In this paper we provide criteria for the positivity of $v\left( F\right) $ for the composite Bessel function $F\left( x\right) =J_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\nu}\left( x\right) :=x^{\alpha}J_{\nu}\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $ for positive numbers $\beta$ and $\gamma$ and real numbers $\alpha$ and $\nu.$

Riesz capacity ratios with negative exponents

We investigate sharp inequalities for ratios of Riesz capacities with negative exponents by combining computational experiments with rigorous analysis. For finite subsets of the line, we prove positivity of equilibrium masses when $-1<p<0$, enabling numerical tests of conjectured extremal ratios. In the plane, comparisons of the disk with regular polygon vertex sets reveal a cascade of transitions among the tested competitors and suggest a precise conjecture for the equilibrium measure of odd polygons, for which we give a partial proof. Numerical intersections of equality curves show that the regions where these sets outperform the disk are not simply nested. Similar numerical intersections occur in three dimensions between the regular-simplex equality curve and those of explicit five-point and six-point configurations. Motivated by the dimensional dependence of these comparisons, we prove that for each fixed $p<-2<q<0$, the regular simplex has a larger capacity ratio than the ball in all sufficiently large dimensions. Accompanying Python and Mathematica code supports reproduction and further testing of the conjectures.

Shorter proof of dimension-free $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms

We provide a shorter and more direct proof of $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms (of an arbitrary order) in terms of the corresponding Riesz transforms, with a constant independent of the dimension of the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^d$. This result was originally proved by Mateu, Orobitg, P\'erez and Verdera with a constant depending on the dimension, and improved to a dimension-free inequality by Kucharski, Wr\'obel and Zienkiewicz.
