We prove a weighted norm inequality for the maximal Bochner--Riesz operator and the associated square-function. This yields new $L^p(R^d)$ bounds on classes of radial Fourier multipliers for $p\ge 2+4/d$ with $d\ge 2$, as well as space-time regularity results for the wave and Schrödinger equations.
We strengthen the Carleson-Hunt theorem by proving $L^p$ estimates for the $r$-variation of the partial sum operators for Fourier series and integrals, for $p>\max\{r',2\}$. Four appendices are concerned with transference, a variation norm Menshov-Paley-Zygmund theorem, and applications to nonlinear Fourier transforms and ergodic theory.
We prove a Calderón-Zygmund type estimate which can be applied to sharpen known regularity results on spherical means, Fourier integral operators and generalized Radon transforms.
We prove an endpoint version of the Stein-Tomas restriction theorem, for a general class of measures, and with a strengthened Lorentz space estimate. A similar improvement is obtained for Stein's estimate on oscillatory integrals of Carleson-Sjölin-Hörmander type and some spectral projection operators on compact manifolds, and for classes of oscillatory integral operators with one-sided fold singularities.
We investigate connections between radial Fourier multipliers on $R^d$ and certain conical Fourier multipliers on $R^{d+1}$. As an application we obtain a new weak type endpoint bound for the Bochner-Riesz multipliers associated to the light cone in $R^{d+1}$, where $d\ge 4$, and results on characterizations of $L^p\to L^{p,ν}$ inequalities for convolutions with radial kernels.
For $α>1$ we consider the initial value problem for the dispersive equation $i\partial_t u +(-Δ)^{α/2} u= 0$. We prove an endpoint $L^p$ inequality for the maximal function $\sup_{t\in[0,1]}|u(\cdot,t)|$ with initial values in $L^p$-Sobolev spaces, for $p\in(2+4/(d+1),\infty)$. This strengthens the fixed time estimates due to Fefferman and Stein, and Miyachi. As an essential tool we establish sharp $L^p$ space-time estimates (local in time) for the same range of $p$.
Given a fixed $p\neq 2$, we prove a simple and effective characterization of all radial multipliers of $\cF L^p(\Bbb R^d)$, provided that the dimension $d$ is sufficiently large. The method also yields new $L^q$ space-time regularity results for solutions of the wave equation in high dimensions.
An important inequality due to Wolff on plate decompositions of cone multipliers is known to have consequences for a variety of problems in harmonic analysis. We observe that the range in Wolff's inequality, for the conic and the spherical versions, can be improved by using bilinear restriction results. We also use this inequality to give some improved estimates on square functions associated to decompositions of cone multipliers in low dimensions. This gives a new L^4 bound for the cone multiplier operator in three dimensions.
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.
We prove sharp endpoint results for the Fourier restriction operator associated to nondegenerate curves in $\Bbb R^d$, $d\ge 3$, and related estimates for oscillatory integral operators. Moreover, for some larger classes of curves in $\Bbb R^d$ we obtain sharp uniform $L^p\to L^q$ bounds with respect to affine arclength measure, thereby resolving a problem of Drury and Marshall.
We give characterizations of radial Fourier multipliers as acting on radial L^p-functions, 1<p<2d/(d+1), in terms of Lebesgue space norms for Fourier localized pieces of the convolution kernel. This is a special case of corresponding results for general Hankel multipliers. Besides L^p-L^q bounds we also characterize weak type inequalities and intermediate inequalities involving Lorentz spaces. Applications include results on interpolation of multiplier spaces.
We note a sharp embedding of the Besov space $B^\infty_{0,q}(\bbT)$ into exponential classes and prove entropy estimates for the compact embedding of subclasses with logarithmic smoothness, considered by Kashin and Temlyakov.
We consider planar curved strictly convex domains with no or very weak smoothness assumptions and prove sharp bounds for square-functions associated to the lattice point discrepancy.
We obtain new estimates for a class of oscillatory integral operators with folding canonical relations satisfying a curvature condition. The main lower bounds showing sharpness are proved using Kakeya set constructions. As a special case of the upper bounds we deduce optimal $L^p(mathbb{S}^2)\to L^q(R \mathbb{S}^2)$ estimates for the Fourier extension operator on large spheres in $\mathbb{R}^3$, which are uniform in the radius $R$. Two appendices are included, one concerning an application to Lorentz space bounds for averaging operators along curves in $R^3$, and one on bilinear estimates.
We consider Fourier transforms of densities supported on curves in R^d. We obtain sharp lower and close to sharp upper bounds for the L^q decay rates.
Via a random construction we establish necessary conditions for $L^p(\ell^q)$ inequalities for certain families of operators arising in harmonic analysis. In particular we consider dilates of a convolution kernel with compactly supported Fourier transform, vector maximal functions acting on classes of entire functions of exponential type, and a characterization of Sobolev spaces by square functions and pointwise moduli of smoothness.
We prove that for a finite type curve in $\mathbb R^3$ the maximal operator generated by dilations is bounded on $L^p$ for sufficiently large $p$. We also show the endpoint $L^p \to L^{p}_{1/p}$ regularity result for the averaging operators for large $p$. The proofs make use of a deep result of Thomas Wolff about decompositions of cone multipliers.
Given Mikhlin-Hörmander multipliers $m_i$, $i=1,..., N$, with uniform estimates we prove an optimal $\sqrt{\log(N+1)}$ bound in $L^p$ for the maximal function $\sup_i|\cF^{-1}[m_i\hat f]|$ and related bounds for maximal functions generated by dilations.
