Reformulated Iosevich–Sawyer–Stein conjecture for analytic hypersurfaces

Let pcr2p_{cr}\ge 2 and let Γ\Gamma be a compact analytic hypersurface. Let MΓM_\Gamma denote its associated maximal operator, let μ\mu be the measure on Γ\Gamma, and let F\mathcal F denote the Fourier transform. Reformulated Iosevich–Sawyer–Stein conjecture. The following statements are equivalent:

  1. MΓM_\Gamma is bounded on Lp(Rd)L^p(\mathbb R^d) for all p>pcrp>p_{cr}.
  2. For every σC(Γ)\sigma\in C^\infty(\Gamma) and every p>pcrp>p_{cr}, there exists a constant C>0C>0 such that
F[σdμ](ξ)Cξ1/p,|\mathcal F[\sigma\,\mathrm d\mu](\xi)|\le C|\xi|^{-1/p},

provided that σ\sigma vanishes on an open set containing all non-transversal points of Γ\Gamma. The source presents this as a reformulation designed to isolate the role of non-transversality; it also states that the reformulated conjecture is proved for ρ=1/2\rho=1/2, but does not establish the full equivalence in the displayed generality.
