On Oscillatory Integral Operators Satisfying the cinematic curvature condition

Xiangyu Wang

TL;DR

The paper advances the study of oscillatory integral operators satisfying the cinematic curvature condition by proving a uniform L^p bound for p exceeding 2 + 8/(3n-5), with the approach blending Wolff's two-ends reduction and refined decoupling. It also develops a robust framework of wave packets, broad norms, and Lorentz rescaling to handle variable-coefficient geometric curvature, and it provides a Kakeya-type counterexample illustrating necessary p-range constraints. An epsilon-removal argument then upgrades the local, scale-dependent estimates to global L^p control without the residual epsilon loss. Together, these results connect to local smoothing and cone restriction problems, offering a unified analytic approach and potential implications for decoupling, restriction, and dispersive regularity in harmonic analysis.

Abstract

We study the oscillatory integral operators satisfying the cinematic curvature condition. First, we formulate a conjecture for this class of operators, motivated by certain necessary conditions arising from counterexamples. We then establish an estimate for these operators by combining Wolff's two-ends reduction with refined decoupling inequalities.
