Inhomogeneous Oscillatory Integrals and Global Smoothing Effects for Dispersive Equations
We study oscillatory integrals of the type ${\mathcal F}^{-1}(e^{ita(\cdot)}ψ(\cdot))$ where $a$ is a general function satisfying some elliptic type and non-degenerate conditions at both the origin and infinity, and $ψ$ belongs to some symbol class. Point-wise estimates in space-time are gained with partial sharpness. As applications, global smoothing effects of $L^p-L^q$ as well as Strichartz type for dispersive equations are studied. An application to fractional Schrödinger equations is also given.
