Classical zero-curvature trilinear Hilbert transform conjecture

At least 2 years old · documented by

Let γ(t)=(a1t,a2t,a3t)\gamma(t)=(a_1t,a_2t,a_3t), where a1,a2,a3a_1,a_2,a_3 are nonzero and pairwise distinct, so that γ\gamma is a nondegenerate line in R3\mathbb{R}^3. For f⃗=(f1,f2,f3)\vec f=(f_1,f_2,f_3) and p⃗=(p1,p2,p3)\vec p=(p_1,p_2,p_3), define ∣f⃗∣Lp⃗:=∏j=13∣fj∣Lpj\\|\vec f\\|_{L^{\vec p}}:=\prod_{j=1}^3\\|f_j\\|_{L^{p_j}}. Classical zero-curvature trilinear Hilbert transform conjecture. The operator Tγ\mathbf T_\gamma obeys

∣Tγ(f⃗)∣Lp4≲p⃗,γ∣f⃗∣Lp⃗\\|\mathbf T_\gamma(\vec f)\\|_{L^{p_4}}\lesssim_{\vec p,\gamma}\\|\vec f\\|_{L^{\vec p}}

for every p⃗∈(1,∞]3\vec p\in(1,\infty]^3 satisfying ∑j=131/pj=1/p4\sum_{j=1}^3 1/p_j=1/p_4 and 1/2<p4<∞1/2<p_4<\infty. This is presented as a major open problem in Fourier analysis: the boundedness of the classical, zero-curvature trilinear Hilbert transform remains unresolved in the stated range.
