Decoupling for finite type phases in higher dimensions

Chuanwei Gao, Zhuoran Li, Tengfei Zhao, Jiqiang Zheng

TL;DR

This work extends decoupling theory to finite-type convex hypersurfaces in higher dimensions by establishing an $\ell^2$ decoupling inequality for the hypersurface $F^{n-1}_{m}(0,n-1)$ with $m$ even and $n\ge2$. The authors develop a decomposition tailored to finite-type geometry, use curvature-localized analysis to separate elliptic and degenerate regions, and apply Bourgain–Demeter decoupling alongside an induction on dimension and scale. The result provides a robust framework for pointwise convergence and restriction theory in finite-type settings and broadens the applicability of decoupling beyond positive-definite curvature surfaces.

Abstract

In this paper, we establish an $\ell^2$ decoupling inequality for the hypersurface \[\Big\{(ξ_1,...,ξ_{n-1},ξ_1^m+...+ξ_{n-1}^m): (ξ_1,...,ξ_{n-1}) \in [0,1]^{n-1}\Big\}\]associated with the decomposition adapted to hypersufaces of finite type, where $n\geq 2$ and $m\geq 4$ is an even number. The key ingredients of the proof include an $\ell^2$ decoupling inequality for the hypersurfaces \[\Big\{(ξ_1,...,ξ_{n-1},φ_1(ξ_1)+...+φ_s(ξ_s)+ξ_{s+1}^m+...+ξ_{n-1}^m): (ξ_1,...,ξ_{n-1}) \in [0,1]^{n-1}\Big\},\] $0 \leq s \leq n-1$, with $φ_1,...,φ_s$ being $m$-nondegenerate.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Let $S:=\{\xi,\psi(\xi)\} \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a smooth hypersurface with positive definite second fundamental form and $E^S_{[0,1]^{n-1}}$ be an extension operator defined as above associated with the graph of $\psi$. Suppose that $2\leq p\leq \frac{2(n+1)}{n-1}$. For each $\varepsilon > 0$, th where $w_{B_R}(x)= (1+\frac{\vert x-x_0 \vert}{R})^{-100n}$ denotes the standard weight function ad
