Paraboloid exponential-sum restriction conjecture

About 5 years old · traced to

Let d≥2d\geq 2, N≥1N\geq 1, and define

PNd−1={n=(n1,…,nd−1,n12+⋯+nd−12)∈Zd:1≤ni≤N},\mathbb{P}^{d-1}_N=\{\mathbf n=(n_1,\ldots,n_{d-1},n_1^2+\cdots+n_{d-1}^2)\in\mathbb{Z}^d:1\leq n_i\leq N\}, Sa,dP(x,N)=∑n∈PNd−1ane(n⋅x).S^{\mathbb{P}}_{a,d}(x,N)=\sum_{\mathbf n\in\mathbb{P}^{d-1}_N}a_{\mathbf n}e(\mathbf n\cdot x).

Let M\mathcal{M} be a real analytic hypersurface in Td\mathbb{T}^d with nonnegative curvature and surface measure σ\sigma. Paraboloid restriction conjecture. For every d≥2d\geq 2 and N≥1N\geq 1,

∥Sa,dP(x,N)∥L2(dσ)≲∥a∥ℓ2.\|S^{\mathbb{P}}_{a,d}(x,N)\|_{L^2(d\sigma)}\lesssim\|a\|_{\ell^2}.

The source calls this conjecture tentative; it is motivated by the positive curvature of the paraboloid and its connection with the free Schrödinger equation on the torus, and remains open.
