Linear smoothing conjecture for Fourier integral operators

Less than 1 year old · traced to

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

p‾d={2(d+1)d−1,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 p≥p‾dp\geq\overline{p}_d and σ<1p\sigma<\frac{1}{p}, one has

∥Taϕf∥Lp(Rd×I)≲∥f∥Lsp(Rd),s=m+(d−1)(12−1pi)−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.
