Decoupling for smooth surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$

Abstract

For each d0d\geq 0, we prove decoupling inequalities in R3\mathbb R^3 for the graphs of all bivariate polynomials of degree at most dd with bounded coefficients, with the decoupling constant depending uniformly in dd but not the coefficients of each individual polynomial. As a consequence, we prove a decoupling inequality for (a compact piece of) every smooth surface in R3\mathbb{R}^3, which in particular solves a conjecture of Bourgain, Demeter and Kemp.
