Abstract: In 1980 Carleson posed a question on the minimal regularity of an initial data function in a Sobolev space Hs(mathbbRn) that implies pointwise convergence for the solution of the linear Schr"odinger equation. After progress by many authors, this was recently resolved (up to the endpoint) by Bourgain, whose counterexample construction for the Schr"odinger maximal operator proved a necessary condition on the regularity, and Du and Zhang, who proved a sufficient condition. Analogues of Carleson's question remain open for many other dispersive PDE's. We develop a flexible new method to approach such problems, and prove that for any integer kgeq2, if a degree k generalization of the Schr"odinger maximal operator is bounded from Hs(mathbbRn) to L1(Bn(0,1)), then sgeqfrac14+fracn−14((k−1)n+1). In dimensions ngeq2, for every degree kgeq3, this is the first result that exceeds a long-standing barrier at 1/4. Our methods are number-theoretic, and in particular apply the Weil bound, a consequence of the truth of the Riemann Hypothesis over finite fields.
