Three-dimensional multilinear restriction conjecture for transverse hypersurfaces

Let Σ1\Sigma_1, Σ2\Sigma_2 and Σ3\Sigma_3 be surfaces in R3\mathbb{R}^3 satisfying the transversality condition above, and let

Ejfj(x)=Σjeixξfj(ξ)dξ,fjL1(Σj).\mathcal E_j f_j(x)=\int_{\Sigma_j}e^{i x\xi}f_j(\xi)\,d\xi, \qquad f_j\in L^1(\Sigma_j).

Three-dimensional multilinear restriction conjecture. One has

E1f1E2f2E3f3L1Cf1L2(Σ1)f2L2(Σ2)f3L2(Σ3).\|\mathcal E_1 f_1\mathcal E_2 f_2\mathcal E_3 f_3\|_{L^1}\leq C\|f_1\|_{L^2(\Sigma_1)}\|f_2\|_{L^2(\Sigma_2)}\|f_3\|_{L^2(\Sigma_3)}.

This estimate is a multilinear restriction inequality for three transverse surfaces in three dimensions and has applications to nonlinear dispersive equations. The source notes that an earlier work proves the estimate with an ϵ\epsilon loss, while the conjectured lossless bound is presented as the stronger result.
