Linear smoothing conjecture for Fourier integral operators

Let d2d\geq 2. Let TaϕT_a^\phi be a Fourier integral operator of order mRm\in\mathbb{R} with a non-degenerate phase function satisfying the cinematic curvature condition. Define

pd={2(d+1)d1,d odd,2(d+2)d,d even.\overline{p}_d=\begin{cases}\frac{2(d+1)}{d-1},&d\text{ odd},\\\\[2pt]\frac{2(d+2)}{d},&d\text{ even}. \end{cases}

Linear smoothing conjecture for FIOs. For any ppdp\geq\overline{p}_d and σ<1p\sigma<\frac{1}{p}, one has

TaϕfLp(Rd×I)fLsp(Rd),s=m+(d1)(121pi)σ.\lVert T_a^\phi f\rVert_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathcal I)}\lesssim \lVert f\rVert_{L^p_s(\mathbb{R}^d)},\qquad s=m+(d-1)\left(\frac12-\frac{1}{p_i}\right)-\sigma.

This is the linear local smoothing estimate for Fourier integral operators satisfying cinematic curvature; the supplied text gives no resolution, and the formula contains the undefined index pip_i, which should be checked against the source.
