\(L^ p\) bounds for Hilbert transforms along convex surfaces (Q1900641)

Let \(\Gamma: \mathbb{R}^2 \to\mathbb{R}^3\) where \(\Gamma(s,t) =(s,t, \gamma (s,t))\) is a surface in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) with \(\Gamma(0,0) =(0,0,0)\), \(\nabla\gamma (0,0) =(0,0)\), and \(K\) be a two-dimensional Calderon-Zygmund kernel. The author obtains in the present paper new classes of \(\Gamma\) and \(K\) such that \(|Hf|_p \leq A_p |f|_p\) for some \(p\) \((A_p= A_p (\Gamma, K,p) >0)\) where \(H\) is the Hilbert transform operator \[ Hf(x,y,z) = \text{p.v. } \int^\infty_{-\infty} \int^\infty_{- \infty} f\bigl((x,y,z) -\Gamma(s,t) \bigr) K(s,t) ds dt. \] Theorem 1 of this paper is related to the class of radial functions \(\gamma\) \((\gamma(s,t) = \varphi (\sqrt {s^2+t^2}) =\varphi (r))\) and the class of \(K\) being not odd for \(p=2\). Theorem 2 of this paper is related to the class of radial functions \(\gamma\) with \(\varphi\) and \(\varphi'\) being both convex and \(\varphi\) of class \(C^2(0, \infty)\) for all \(p\in (30/19, 30/11)\). For proving his theorems, the author develops new very complicated techniques based on the van der Carput Lemma, new estimates for Bessel functions (see Section 2) as well as Stein's analytic interpolation theorem and Marcinkiewicz's multiplier theorem.
