Oscillatory integrals and spherical harmonics (Q1098040)

Let \[ S_ L^{\delta}f=(A_ L^{\delta})^{-1}\sum^{L}_{\ell =0}A^{\delta}_{L-\ell}H_{\ell}f,\quad L=0,1,2,... \] be the L-th Cesàro mean of index \(\delta\) where Re \(\delta\) \(>-1\), \(H_{\ell}\) is the \(\ell\)-th harmonic projection and \(A_ L^{\delta}=\left( \begin{matrix} \ell +\delta \\ \ell \end{matrix} \right)\). The operator \(S_ L^{\delta}\) is investigated in the space \(L^ p(\Sigma^ n)\) for \(\delta >\delta_ p=\max (n3/1/p-1/2| -1/2,0)\), where \(\Sigma^ n\) is the unit sphere in \(R^{n+1}\). It is shown that \(S_ L^{\delta}\) is uniformly bounded for any \(1\leq p\leq \infty\) in case \(n=2\), and for any p satisfying \(| 1/2-1/p| \geq 1/(n+1)\) in case \(n\geq 3\). Estimates for the harmonic projections and the operator defined by \((T^{\delta}f\hat)(\xi)=(1-| \xi |^ 2)_+^{\alpha}\hat f(\xi)\) are also established extending a result previously obtained by \textit{L. Carleson} and \textit{P. Sjölin} [Studia Math. 44, 287-299 (1972; Zbl 0215.183)].
