Stability of Fourier Restriction for a Class of Finite Type Surfaces in ℝ3
Abstract
We establish the stability of the optimal non-endpoint Fourier restriction range under smooth flat perturbations of curved-root surfaces in ℝ3. Specifically, we consider graphs of ϕ(x1,x2)=(x2−x1m)n+R(x1,x2), where m,n≥2 are integers and R is smooth and flat at the origin. On a sufficiently small neighborhood depending on the perturbation, we prove the local Lp(ℝ3)→ L2(S,dσ) restriction estimate for 1≤ p<pc, where pc=qc/(qc−1), qc=max{2+2mn/(m+1),2n}. If the nonnegative localizing density is positive at the origin, an adapted-box example shows that the estimate fails for p>pc. Thus arbitrary smooth flat perturbations preserve the optimal restriction range away from the critical endpoint. For n≥3, the main local estimate combines planar curve decoupling with a one-dimensional finite-type extension estimate, whose principal scale factors cancel exactly. For n=2, we prove a uniform C4 perturbation estimate using a weighted convolution bound and an anisotropic Whitney decomposition. Anisotropic rescaling and summation complete the proof.

AB - We establish the stability of the optimal non-endpoint Fourier restriction range under smooth flat perturbations of curved-root surfaces in ℝ^3. Specifically, we consider graphs of ϕ(x_1,x_2)=(x_2−x_1^m)^n+R(x_1,x_2), where m,n≥2 are integers and R is smooth and flat at the origin. On a sufficiently small neighborhood depending on the perturbation, we prove the local L^p(ℝ^3)→ L^2(S,dσ) restriction estimate for 1≤ p<p_c, where p_c=q_c/(q_c−1), q_c=max{2+2mn/(m+1),2n}. If the nonnegative localizing density is positive at the origin, an adapted-box example shows that the estimate fails for p>p_c. Thus arbitrary smooth flat perturbations preserve the optimal restriction range away from the critical endpoint. For n≥3, the main local estimate combines planar curve decoupling with a one-dimensional finite-type extension estimate, whose principal scale factors cancel exactly.
