Abstract

We find a family of compact CkC^k hypersurfaces where the local Mizohata-Takeuchi Conjecture fails with a power loss of RαR^{\alpha} for any α<n1n1+k\alpha<\frac{n-1}{n-1+k}. Moreover, this family is dense in the CkC^k topology, and so the local Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture fails for many convex hypersurfaces. In particular, the local Mizohata-Takeuchi Conjecture fails with a power loss of RαR^\alpha for any α<n1n+1\alpha<\frac{n-1}{n+1} for many C2C^2 convex hypersurfaces. This power matches the best known upper bound in a paper by Tony Carbery, Marina Iliopoulou and Hong Wang up to the endpoint. For the proof, our weight is positive definite as in the first author's recent log(R)\log(R)-loss counterexample, and our construction is based on a projection of a higher rank lattice. As a by-product, we also construct compact convex C2C^2 hypersurfaces whose rescaling contains many lattice points in any dimension.
