\(L^p\) Sobolev regularity for a class of Radon and Radon-like transforms of various codimension (Q2003622)

Let $n\geq2$ and $m\geq1$, for any given $K(t)=K(t_1,\cdots,t_m)$ and $\gamma(t)=\gamma(t_1,\cdots,t_m):=(\gamma_1(t_1,\cdots,t_m),\cdots,\gamma_n(t_1,\cdots,t_m))$ satisfying some conditions, the author establishes $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$ Sobolev regularity results for the following class of averaging operators over surfaces \begin{align*} T(f)(x):=\int_{\mathbb{R}^m}f(x-\gamma(t))K(t)\,\text{d}t \quad \forall\, x\in\mathbb{R}^n. \end{align*} We are glad to see higher-dimensional results for these kinds of operators again. The aim of the paper under review is to extend the author's main result [J. Funct. Anal. 276, No. 5, 1510--1527 (2019; Zbl 1440.42106)]. There are a lot of beautiful $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$ Sobolev regularity results for $T$: For translation-invariant Radon transforms over plane curves, see [\textit{M. Christ}, in: Fourier analysis and partial differential equations. Proceedings of the conference held in Miraflores de la Sierra, Madrid, Spain, June 15--20, 1992.
