Square function estimates and Local smoothing for Fourier Integral Operators

Abstract

We prove a variable coefficient version of the square function estimate of Guth--Wang--Zhang. By a classical argument of Mockenhaupt--Seeger--Sogge, it implies the full range of sharp local smoothing estimates for 2+12+1 dimensional Fourier integral operators satisfying the cinematic curvature condition. In particular, the local smoothing conjecture for wave equations on compact Riemannian surfaces is completely settled.
