Quasi-extremals for convolution with surface measure on the sphere

Abstract: If

T

is the operator given by convolution with surface measure on the sphere,

(E, F)

is a quasi-extremal pair of sets for

T

if

l a n g l e T c h i_{E}, c h i_{F} a n g l e g t r s i m | E |^{d / (d + 1)} | F |^{d / (d + 1)}

. In this article, we explicitly define a family

m a t h c a l F

of quasi-extremal pairs of sets for

T

. We prove that

m a t h c a l F

is fundamental in the sense that every quasi-extremal pair

(E, F)

is comparable (in a rather strong sense) to a pair from

m a t h c a l F

. This extends work carried out by M. Christ for convolution with surface measure on the paraboloid.
