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.

Attainable forms of lower spectra

Let $d\in\mathbb{N}$ and $φ\colon(0,1)\to[0,d]$. We prove there exists a set $F\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ whose lower spectrum $\operatorname{dim}^θ_{\mathrm{L}} F$ satisfies $(1-θ)\operatorname{dim}^θ_{\mathrm{L}} F = φ(θ)$ for all $θ\in(0,1)$ if and only if for all $λ,θ\in(0,1)$, \begin{equation*} φ(θ) \leq φ(λθ) - θφ(λ) \leq (1-θ) d. \end{equation*} We also obtain a similar classification result for $\underline{\operatorname{dim}}^θ_{\mathrm{L}} F$. In contrast to the case for Assouad spectra, it is insufficient to consider homogeneous (or uniform) sets. Instead, we follow the approach introduced by Orgoványi--Rutar in arXiv:2510.07013 and proceed via a more general classification result for appropriate two-scale branching functions.

A $Tb$ type theorem for suppressed kernels

In this article, a non-homogeneous $Tb$ type theorem for arbitrary dimensional Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operators is proved. This is an extension of an analogous non-homogeneous $Tb$ theorem for the Cauchy transform, in the planar setting, due to Nazarov, Treil and Volberg. The novelties of the present work are the change of dimension and the fact that the operators to which the theorem applies are not necessarily antisymmetric. The techniques used in the proof include, among others, suppressed kernels, decompositions in $L^2(μ)$, where $μ$ is a Radon measure in $\mathbb{R}^d$, and a probabilistic argument resulting from taking averages of the operators involved.

Sparse domination modulo polynomials

We develop a sparse domination theory that captures both local polynomial approximation and cancellation of the input below the scale of each sparse cube. Its coefficients are percentiles of localized smooth maximal functions of the input minus its local polynomial approximation, combining features of mean-oscillation sparse bounds and of the cancellative sparse bounds of Conde-Alonso, Lorist and Rey. Using wavelet representations, we characterize the Calderón-Zygmund operators whose derivatives admit these bounds by explicit polynomial testing conditions. In the homogeneous setting, the same conditions characterize weighted Hardy-Sobolev inequalities with linear dependence on the $A_\infty$ characteristic. This quantitative dependence detects the transition from BMO to $L^\infty$ testing conditions that Lerner found for pointwise bounds by Riesz potentials, a distinction that qualitative weighted estimates cannot recover. In the inhomogeneous setting, we prove corresponding weighted inequalities and show that they are strictly weaker than pointwise sparse domination from the second derivative order onward. Consequences include Hardy-Sobolev estimates below the Banach range, sharp weighted Sobolev inequalities, and pointwise bounds by Riesz potentials.
