Variable coefficient Wolff-type inequalities and sharp local smoothing estimates for wave equations on manifolds

David Beltran, Jonathan Hickman and Christopher D. Sogge

Vol. 13 (2020), No. 2, 403–433
Abstract

The sharp Wolff-type decoupling estimates of Bourgain and Demeter are extended to the variable coefficient setting. These results are applied to obtain new sharp local smoothing estimates for wave equations on compact Riemannian manifolds, away from the endpoint regularity exponent. More generally, local smoothing estimates are established for a natural class of Fourier integral operators; at this level of generality the results are sharp in odd dimensions, both in terms of the regularity exponent and the Lebesgue exponent.

Keywords
local smoothing, variable coefficient, Fourier integral operators, decoupling inequalities
