The adjoint Fourier restriction inequality of Tomas and Stein states that the mapping $f\mapsto \widehat{f\sigma}$ is bounded from $\lt(S^2)$ to $L^4(\reals^3)$. We prove that there exist functions which extremize this inequality, and that…
The Tomas-Stein inequality or the adjoint Fourier restriction inequality for the sphere $S^1$ states that the mapping $f\mapsto \hat{f\sigma}$ is bounded from $L^2(S^1)$ to $L^6(\mathbb{R}^2)$. We prove that there exists an extremizer for…
In this paper we find the sharp forms and characterize the complex-valued extremizers of the adjoint Fourier restriction inequalities on the sphere $$\big\|\widehat{f \sigma}\big\|_{L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{d})} \lesssim…
We prove the existence of functions that extremize the endpoint $L^2$ to $L^4$ adjoint Fourier restriction inequality on the one-sheeted hyperboloid in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^4$ and that, taking symmetries into consideration, any…
We establish the existence of extremizers for a Fourier restriction inequality on planar convex arcs without points with colinear tangents whose curvature satisfies a natural assumption. More generally, we prove that any extremizing…
In dimensions $d \in \{3,4,5,6,7\}$, we prove that the constant functions on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ maximize the weighted adjoint Fourier restriction inequality $$ \left| \int_{\mathbb{R}^d}…
In this article, we develop a linear profile decomposition for the $L^p \to L^q$ adjoint Fourier restriction operator associated to the sphere, valid for exponent pairs $p<q$ for which this operator is bounded. Such theorems are new when $p…
The Tomas-Stein inequality for a compact subset $\Gamma$ of the sphere $S^d$ states that the mapping $f\mapsto \widehat{f\sigma}$ is bounded from $L^2(\Gamma,\sigma)$ to $L^{2+4/d}(\R^{d+1})$. Then conditional on a strict comparison between…
In this article, we prove that all global, nonendpoint Fourier restriction inequalities for the paraboloid in $\mathbb R^{1+d}$ have extremizers and that $L^p$-normalized extremizing sequences are precompact modulo symmetries. This result…
It is known that extremizers for the $L^2$ to $L^6$ adjoint Fourier restriction inequality on the cone in $\mathbb{R}^3$ exist. Here we show that nonnegative extremizing sequences are precompact, after the application of symmetries of the…
We prove that constant functions are the unique real-valued maximizers for all $L^2-L^{2n}$ adjoint Fourier restriction inequalities on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\in\{3,4,5,6,7\}$, where $n\geq 3$ is an…
It was proved independently by Foschi and Hundertmark, Zharnitsky that Gaussians extremize the adjoint Fourier restriction inequality for L^2 functions on the paraboloid in the two lowest-dimesional cases. Here we prove that Gaussians are…
We establish a sharp adjoint Fourier restriction inequality for the end-point Tomas-Stein restriction theorem on the circle under a certain arithmetic constraint on the support set of the Fourier coefficients of the given function. Such…
We consider the adjoint restriction inequality associated to the hypersurface $\{(\tau, \xi) : \tau = \pm|\xi|^2, \;\xi \in \mathbb{R}^d\}$ at the Stein-Tomas exponent. Extremizers exist in all dimensions and extremizing sequences are…
We prove sharp $L^2$ Fourier restriction inequalities for compact, smooth surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ equipped with the affine surface measure or a power thereof. The results are valid for all smooth surfaces and the bounds are uniform for…
Let $d\ge 2$ and $T$ be the convolution operator $Tf(x)=\int_{\reals^{d-1}} f(x'-t,x_d-|t|^2)\,dt$, which is is bounded from $L^{(d+1)/d}(\reals^d)$ to $L^{d+1}(\reals^d)$. We show that any critical point $f\in L^{(d+1)/d}$ of the…
We prove that there exists an extremal function to the Airy Strichartz inequality, $e^{-t\partial_x^3}: L^2(\mathbb{R})\to L^8_{t,x}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ by using the linear profile decomposition. Furthermore we show that, if $f$ is an…
We show that constant functions are global maximizers for the adjoint Fourier restriction inequality for the sphere.
We show that, for a natural class of rearrangement admissible spaces $X$ and $Y$, the Fourier operator is bounded between $X$ and $Y$ if and only if any operator of joint strong type $(1,\infty; 2,2)$ is also bounded between $X$ and $Y$. By…
A well known conjecture states that constant functions are extremizers of the $L^2 \to L^6$ Tomas-Stein extension inequality for the circle. We prove that functions supported in a $\sqrt{6}/80$-neighbourhood of a pair of antipodal points on…
