Restriction estimates using polynomial partitioning. II (Q1623214)

Stein conjectured that the extension operator $Ef$ for the paraboloid should obey the inequality $\|Ef\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)}\le \text{const} \|f\|_{L^p(B^{n-1})}$ for all $p>2n/(n-1)$, where $B^{n-1}$ denotes the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^{n-1}$. New partial results towards this conjecture are proved in dimensions $n>4$. Also, the estimates in the restriction problem in dimensions $n = 4$ are improved. For Part I, see [the author, J. Am. Math. Soc. 29, No. 2, 371--413 (2016; Zbl 1342.42010)].
