Abstract

We give an elementary proof of power Fourier decay for Patterson-Sullivan measures associated to convex co-compact Schottky groups of dimension δ>12\delta>\frac12, obtaining the explicit decay exponent δ(2δ1)(2δ+1)(3δ)\frac{\delta(2\delta - 1)}{(2\delta + 1)(3 - \delta)}. The proof replaces the technical machinery used in previous works, such as sum-product estimates, renewal theory, Dolgopyat methods, and L2L^2 flattening, by elementary oscillatory integral estimates, hyperbolic geometry, and a duality argument based on the transpose Schottky group.
