Abstract

We compute the optimal constant and characterise the maximisers at all spatial scales for the Agmon--H\"ormander L2L^2-Fourier adjoint restriction estimate on the sphere. The maximisers switch back and forth from being constants to being non-symmetric at the zeros of two Bessel functions. We also study the stability of this estimate and establish a sharpened version in the spirit of Bianchi--Egnell. The corresponding stability constant and maximisers again exhibit a curious intermittent behaviour.
