Sharp local smoothing estimates for curve averages

We prove sharp local smoothing estimates for curve averages in all dimensions. As a corollary, we prove the sharp $L^p$ boundedness of the helical maximal operator in $\mathbb{R}^4$, which was previously known only for $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $\mathbb{R}^3$. We also improve previously known results in higher dimensions. The main new ingredient is a novel wave envelope estimate adapted to moment curves, which is a powerful tool in the proof of the local smoothing estimate.

An extended Vinogradov's mean value theorem

In this paper, we provide novel mean value estimates for exponential sums related to the extended main conjecture of Vinogradov's mean value theorem, by developing the Hardy-Littlewood circle method together with a refined shifting variables argument. Let $d\geq 2$ be a natural number and $\boldsymbol{\alpha}=(\alpha_d,\ldots, \alpha_1)\in \mathbb{R}^d.$ Define the exponential sum \begin{equation*} f_d(\boldsymbol{\alpha};N):=\sum_{1 \leq n \leq N}e(\alpha_d n^d + \cdots+ \alpha_1 n). \end{equation*} For $p>0$, consider mean values of the exponential sums \begin{equation*} \mathcal{I}_{p,d}(u;N):=\int_{[0,1)\times [0,N^{-u})\times [0,1)^{d-2}}|f_d(\boldsymbol{\alpha};N)|^pd\boldsymbol{\alpha}, \end{equation*} where we wrote $d\boldsymbol{\alpha}=d\alpha_1 d\alpha_2\cdots d\alpha_{d-1}d\alpha_d.$ By making use of the aforementioned tools, we obtain the sharp upper bound for $\mathcal{I}_{p,d}(u;N)$, for $d=2,3$ and $0<u\leq 1$. Furthermore, for $d \geq 4$, we obtain analogous results depending on a small cap decoupling inequality for the moment curves in $\mathbb{R}^d.$

On decoupling and restriction estimates

In this short note, we prove that the restriction conjecture for the (hyperbolic) paraboloid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ implies the $l^p$-decoupling theorem for the (hyperbolic) paraboloid in $\mathbb{R}^{2d-1}$. In particular, this gives a simple proof of the $l^p$ decoupling theorem for the (hyperbolic) paraboloid in $\mathbb{R}^3$.

$l^2$ decoupling theorem for surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$

We identify a new way to divide the $\delta$-neighborhood of surfaces $\mathcal{M}\subset\mathbb{R}^3$ into a finitely-overlapping collection of rectangular boxes $S$. We obtain a sharp $(l^2,L^p)$ decoupling estimate using this decomposition, for the sharp range of exponents $2\leq p\leq 4$. Our decoupling inequality leads to new exponential sum estimates where the frequencies lie on surfaces which do not contain a line.

Restriction estimates for quadratic manifolds of arbitrary codimensions

The restriction conjecture is one of the famous problems in harmonic analysis. There have been many methods developed in the study of the conjecture for the paraboloid. In this paper, we generalize the multilinear method of Bourgain and Guth for the paraboloid, and obtain restriction estimates for all quadratic manifolds of arbitrary codimensions. In particular, our theorem recovers the main theorem of Bourgain and Guth for the paraboloid. A new ingredient is a covering lemma for varieties whose proof relies on Tarski's projection theorem in real algebraic geometry. We also provide algorithms to compute several algebraic quantities that naturally appear in the argument. These algorithms rely on a cylindrical decomposition in real algebraic geometry.

Decoupling inequalities for quadratic forms

We prove sharp $\ell^q L^p$ decoupling inequalities for $p,q \in [2,\infty)$ and arbitrary tuples of quadratic forms. Connections to prior results on decoupling inequalities for quadratic forms are also explained. We also include some applications of our results to exponential sum estimates and to Fourier restriction estimates. The proof of our main result is based on scale-dependent Brascamp--Lieb inequalities.

Decoupling for two quadratic forms in three variables: a complete characterization

We prove sharp decoupling inequalities for all degenerate surfaces of codimension two in $\mathbb{R}^5$ given by two quadratic forms in three variables. Together with previous work by Demeter, Guo, and Shi in the non-degenerate case (arXiv:1609.04107), this provides a classification of decoupling inequalities for pairs of quadratic forms in three variables.

Small cap decoupling inequalities: Bilinear methods

We obtain sharp small cap decoupling inequalities associated to the moment curve for certain range of exponents $p$. Our method is based on the bilinearization argument due to Bourgain and Bourgain-Demeter. Our result generalizes theirs to all higher dimensions.

The Bochner-Riesz problem: an old approach revisited

We show that the recent techniques developed to study the Fourier restriction problem apply equally well to the Bochner-Riesz problem. This is achieved via applying a pseudo-conformal transformation and a two-parameter induction-on-scales argument. As a consequence, we improve the Bochner-Riesz problem to the best known range of the Fourier restriction problem in all high dimensions.

Decouplings for three-dimensional surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{6}$

We obtain the sharp $l^p$ decoupling for three-dimensional nondegenerate surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^6$. This can be thought of as a generalization of Bourgain and Demeter's result, which is the sharp $l^p$ decoupling for two-dimensional nondegenerate surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^4$.
