Mizohata–Takeuchi conjecture for Fourier extension operators

Fix n2n\geq 2, and let ΣRn\Sigma\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n be a compact C2C^2 hypersurface with surface measure dσ\mathrm{d}\sigma. Define the Fourier extension operator by

EΣf(x)=Σe2πixyf(y)dσ(y).\mathcal{E}_{\Sigma}f(x)=\int_{\Sigma}e^{2\pi i x\cdot y}f(y)\,\mathrm{d}\sigma(y).

For a function w ⁣:RnCw\colon\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{C} and an affine line AGr1(Rn)\ell\in\operatorname{AGr}_1(\mathbb{R}^n), define the X-ray transform by

Xw()=w.Xw(\ell)=\int_{\ell}w.

Mizohata–Takeuchi conjecture. If Σ\Sigma is convex, then for all fL2(Σ)f\in L^2(\Sigma) and measurable weights w ⁣:Rn[0,)w\colon\mathbb{R}^n\to[0,\infty),

EΣfL2(Rn,wdx)2XwL(AGr1(Rn))fL2(Σ)2.\|\mathcal{E}_{\Sigma}f\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^n,w\,\mathrm{d}x)}^2\lesssim\|Xw\|_{L^\infty(\operatorname{AGr}_1(\mathbb{R}^n))}\|f\|_{L^2(\Sigma)}^2.

This conjecture predicts the weighted L2L^2 behavior of Fourier extension operators for convex hypersurfaces and connects restriction theory with X-ray transform estimates. Its general status is not established by the supplied source context.
