\(L^p\) estimates for the biest. II: The Fourier case (Q1889451)

The aim of the paper is to obtain estimates of the biest, which is the trilinear multiplier operator with singular symbol, defined by \[ T(f,g,h)(x)=\int_{\alpha<\beta<\gamma} f(\alpha)g(\beta)h(\gamma)e^{2\pi ix(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)} d\alpha\,d\beta\,d\gamma. \] As stated in the abstract, the methods used are based on the treatment of the Walsh analogue of this operator by the same authors, but with additional technicalities due to the fact that in the Fourier model one cannot obtain perfect localization in both space and frequency. As in the Walsh case, it is proved that \(T\) is bounded from \(L^{p_1}\times L^{p_2}\times L^{p_3}\) to \(L^{p^{\prime}_4}\) if \(1/p_1+1/p_2+1/p_3=1/p^{\prime}_4\), provided that \((1/p_1,1/p_2,1/p_3,1/p_4)\) belongs to a certain polytope \(D\subset [0,1)^3\times(0,\infty)\). This includes the cases where \(1<p_1,p_2,p_3\leq \infty\) and \(1\leq p^{\prime}_4<\infty\). [See also Part I in Math. Ann. 329, No.~3, 401--426 (2004; Zbl 1073.42009)].
