On the restriction and multiplier problems in \(R^ 3\) (Q4037249)

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0755.00015.] The author considers two problems of boundedness on \(L^ p(\mathbb{R}^ 3)\), concerning the Fourier transform of measures and Bochner-Riesz multipliers. For the first problem, let \(S_ 2\) be the sphere in \(\mathbb{R}^ 3\) and let \(\sigma\) be surface measure. The main result here is that if \(\mu\) is a measure carried by \(S_ 2\) and \({d\mu\over d\sigma}\in L^ \infty(S_ 2)\), then \(\widehat\mu\in L^ p(\mathbb{R}^ 3)\) for \(p>{58\over 13}\). For the second problem, consider the multiplier \[ m_ \lambda(\xi)=\begin{cases} (1-|\xi|^ 2)^ \lambda & \text{if }|\xi|\leq 1\\ 0 & \text{otherwise}.\end{cases} \] The author proves that the corresponding multiplier operator is bounded on \(L^ p(\mathbb{R}^ 3)\) for \(p\in\Bigl({3\over 2+\lambda},{3\over 1- \lambda}\Bigr)\Bigl\backslash\Bigr.\Bigl({296\over 221},{296\over 75}\Bigr)\). Both of these results extend earlier work of the author [Geom. Funct. Anal. 1, No. 2, 147-187 (1991; Zbl 0756.42014)].
