𝐿^{𝑝} estimates for oscillatory integral operators (Q4257624)

Let \(T\) be a linear operator on \(R\) of the form \[ T f(x) = \int_R e^{i |x|^a |y|^b} K(x,y) f(y) dy \] where \(a,b \geq 1\), and \(K\) is a kernel which is of degree 0 and singular at the diagonal \(\{ x = y \}\), i.e., \[ |\nabla_{x,y}^\alpha K(x,y)|\lesssim |x-y|^{-|\alpha|} \] for all \(\alpha\). These types of operators are typical for singular oscillatory integrals with polynomial phase. From scaling considerations it is natural to conjecture that these operators are bounded on \(L^p\) for \(p = (a+b)/2\). This conjecture was proven for \(a,b > 1\) by \textit{Y. Pan, G. Sampson} and \textit{P. Szeptycki} [Stud. Math 122, No. 3, 201-224 (1997; Zbl 0876.42008)]. In this paper this is extended to the endpoints \(a,b \geq 1\). Tools used include decomposition of the kernel into various regions depending on whether \(|x-y|\), \(|x|\), \(|y|\) are large and small; the change of variables \(x \to |x|^a\), \(y \to |y|^b\); and weighted estimates for pseudo-differential operators (including Pitt's inequality).
