Local Stein restriction conjecture for positively curved surfaces in three dimensions

About 6 years old · traced to

Let SS be a smooth compact surface in R3\mathbb{R}^3 with positive definite second fundamental form, and let dσd\sigma be its induced Lebesgue measure. Define the Fourier extension operator by

ESg(x):=∫Sg(ω)e2πix⋅ω dσ.\mathcal E_Sg(x):=\int_S g(\omega)e^{2\pi i x\cdot\omega}\,d\sigma.

For R≥1R\geq 1, let BRB_R be the ball centred at the origin with radius RR in R3\mathbb{R}^3. Local Stein restriction conjecture. For every ε>0\varepsilon>0 and every p>3p>3, there is a constant C(ε)C(\varepsilon) such that

∥ESg∥Lp(BR)≤C(ε)Rε∥g∥L∞(S,dσ).\|\mathcal E_Sg\|_{L^p(B_R)}\leq C(\varepsilon)R^\varepsilon\|g\|_{L^\infty(S,d\sigma)}.

This is the local version obtained from the global restriction estimate by the standard epsilon-removal framework. The surrounding discussion presents the restriction problem as broadly open, so this local formulation remains open as well.
