Abstract

In this paper, we establish the sharp k-broad estimate for a class of phase functions satisfying the homogeneous convex conditions. As an application, we obtain improved local smoothing estimates for the half-wave operator in dimensions n≥3. As a byproduct, we also generalize the restriction estimates of Ou–Wang [21] to a broader class of phase functions.

The authors want to acknowledge that David Beltran and Olli Saari realized independently [3] that it is possible to use k-broad estimates to obtain improved local smoothing estimates. The authors want to thank Prof. David Beltran for some friendly communications, and for pointing out that broad and narrow bounds for the circular cone only are not enough for proving local smoothing type estimates. The authors want to thank an anonymous referee for his or her thorough and invaluable feedback.
