Fractional integration along homogeneous curves in $R^3$ (Q4486876)

Given the curve \(\Gamma(t)=(t^\alpha, t^\beta, t^\gamma)\), \(t>0\), in \(\mathbb R^3\), with \(\alpha<\beta<\gamma\), the author considers the fractional integral operator of order \(\sigma\) along \(\Gamma\) \[ T^\sigma f(x)=\int_{0}^{\infty}f(x-\Gamma(t))t^{\sigma-1} dt,\;x\in \mathbb R^3, \] defined for \(\Re \sigma>0\). The result is: For \(\Re \sigma>0\), \(T^\sigma\) is bounded from \(L^p(\mathbb R^3)\) to \(L^q(\mathbb R^3)\) if and only if \((\frac{1}{p}, \frac 1q)\in ABCD\) and \(\frac 1p - \frac 1q = \frac{\Re \sigma}{\alpha+\beta+\gamma}\), where \(ABCD\) is the closed trapezoid with vertices \(A=(0,0)\), \(B=(1,1)\), \(C=(\frac 23, \frac 12)\), and \(D=(\frac 12, \frac 12)\).
