Multilinear Fourier extension conjecture for transversal curved hypersurfaces

From papers

Let k2k\geq 2. Let S1,,SkRdS_1,\ldots,S_k\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{d} be smooth hypersurfaces equipped with measures σ1,,σk\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_k, respectively. They are transversal if there is some c>0c>0 such that

v1vkc|v_1\wedge\cdots\wedge v_k|\geq c

for every choice of unit normal vectors vjv_j to SjS_j. Let pp' denote the Hölder conjugate of pp, and let Rσ1,,σk(p××pq/k)\mathcal{R}^{\ast}_{\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_k}(p\times\cdots\times p\rightarrow q/k) mean that

j=1kgjdσj^Lq/k(Rd)j=1kgjLp(dσj)\left\|\prod_{j=1}^{k}\widehat{g_j\mathrm{d}\sigma_j}\right\|_{L^{q/k}(\mathbb{R}^{d})}\lesssim\prod_{j=1}^{k}\|g_j\|_{L^p(\mathrm{d}\sigma_j)}

for all gjLp(σj)g_j\in L^p(\sigma_j). Multilinear Fourier extension conjecture. If the hypersurfaces have everywhere positive principal curvatures and

1q<d12d,1qd+k2d+k1p,1qdkd+k1p+k1k+d,\frac{1}{q}<\frac{d-1}{2d},\qquad \frac{1}{q}\leq\frac{d+k-2}{d+k}\frac{1}{p'},\qquad \frac{1}{q}\leq\frac{d-k}{d+k}\frac{1}{p'}+\frac{k-1}{k+d},

then Rσ1,,σk(p××pq/k)\mathcal{R}^{\ast}_{\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_k}(p\times\cdots\times p\rightarrow q/k). This conjecture predicts the range of multilinear extension estimates produced by transversality and curvature; the source does not provide evidence resolving the stated range.
