Restriction estimates for 2D surfaces of finite type 3 and applications to dispersive equations

TL;DR
The paper addresses restriction estimates for 2D surfaces of finite type 3, specifically S = { (ξ1, ξ2, φ1(ξ1) ± φ2(ξ2)) : (ξ1, ξ2) ∈ [0,1]^2 }, by reducing to established models via a rescaling technique and proving a local $L^{22/7}$ restriction bound for the extension operator. It develops a dyadic, induction-on-scale framework with $\ell^{2}$ decoupling to handle degeneracies and obtains sharp-type bounds, including a hyperbolic analogue. These restriction estimates are then leveraged to analyze dispersive equations on lattices, yielding improved Strichartz estimates in Fourier–Lebesgue spaces and establishing well-posedness and scattering results for the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation (DNLS). The work thus connects finite-type restriction theory with discrete dispersive dynamics and provides tools for DNLS on lattices.
Abstract
In this paper, we prove the restriction estimates for 2D surfaces S:= {(xi1, xi2, xi1^3 +/- xi2^3) : (xi1, xi2) in [0,1]^2} by reducing to Wang-Wu's result on the perturbed paraboloid and Demeter-Wu's result on the perturbed hyperboloid. The method is based on the rescaling technique developed in [LMZ21]. Besides, we will use the estimates to give a better analysis for discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations.
