AbstractRecently Wolff [W3] obtained a sharp L2 bilinear restriction theorem for bounded subsets of the cone in general dimension. Here we adapt the argument of Wolff to also handle subsets of “elliptic surfaces” such as paraboloids. Except for an endpoint, this answers a conjecture of Machedon and Klainerman, and also improves upon the known restriction theory for the paraboloid and sphere.

Bilinear restriction estimates for surfaces with curvatures of different signs
Recently, the sharp L 2 -bilinear (adjoint) restriction estimates for the cone and the paraboloid were established by Wolff and Tao, respectively. Their results rely on the fact that for the cone and…
An endpoint estimate of the bilinear paraboloid restriction operator
In Fourier restriction problems, a cone and a paraboloid are model surfaces. The sharp bilinear cone restriction estimate was first shown by Wolff, and later the endpoint was obtained by Tao. For a…
Restriction theorems for a surface with negative curvature
Abstract.We prove a bilinear restriction theorem for a surface of negative curvature. This is the analogue of the results of T. Wolff [19] and T. Tao [14], [15] for cones and paraboloids. As a…
Global restriction estimates for elliptic hyperboloids
We prove global Fourier restriction estimates for elliptic, or two-sheeted, hyperboloids of arbitrary dimension $d \geq 2$, extending recent joint work with Oliveira e Silva and Stovall. Our results…
Bilinear restriction estimates for surfaces of codimension bigger than 1
In connection with the restriction problem in $\mathbb R^n$ for hypersurfaces including the sphere and paraboloid, the bilinear (adjoint) restriction estimates have been extensively studied. However,…
A trilinear restriction estimate with sharp dependence on transversality
Abstract:We improve the Bennett-Carbery-Tao trilinear restriction estimate for subsets of the paraboloid in three dimensions, giving the sharp bound with respect to the transversality. The main…
Extremizers for Adjoint Restriction to a Pair of Reflected Paraboloids
We consider the adjoint restriction inequality associated to the hypersurface {(τ, ξ) : τ = ±|ξ|, ξ ∈ R} at the Stein-Tomas exponent. Extremizers exist in all dimensions and extremizing sequences are…
Linear and bilinear restriction to certain rotationally symmetric hypersurfaces
Conditional on Fourier restriction estimates for elliptic hypersurfaces, we prove optimal restriction estimates for polynomial hypersurfaces of revolution for which the defining polynomial has…
Optimal bilinear restriction estimates for general hypersurfaces and the role of the shape operator
It is known that under some transversality and curvature assumptions on the hypersurfaces involved, the bilinear restriction estimate holds true with better exponents than what would trivially follow…
