The Bochner-Riesz conjecture in three dimensions (strict-order range)

Theorem 1.1: for every δ>0\delta>0, ∥Tδf∥L3(R3)≤Cδ∥f∥L3(R3)\|T_\delta f\|_{L^3(\mathbb R^3)}\le C_\delta\|f\|_{L^3(\mathbb R^3)}. By complex interpolation and duality this gives boundedness on Lp(R3)L^p(\mathbb R^3) for all 1≤p≤∞1\le p\le\infty and δ>max⁡{3∣1/p−1/2∣−1/2,0}\delta>\max\{3|1/p-1/2|-1/2,0\}, the full strict-order range in three dimensions, hence LpL^p convergence of Bochner-Riesz means for 3/2≤p≤33/2\le p\le3 at every positive order. Via Tao's implication it yields the spherical extension estimate ∥Eg∥Lp(R3)≤Cp∥g∥L∞(S2)\|Eg\|_{L^p(\mathbb R^3)}\le C_p\|g\|_{L^\infty(S^2)} for p>3p>3. Not shown: the endpoint order, the maximal Bochner-Riesz operator, or any dimension n≥4n\ge4; it is a partial result on the nn-dimensional conjecture.
