Sogge's local smoothing conjecture for the wave equation in three spatial dimensions

Theorem 1.1: for every ε>0\varepsilon>0, ∥eit−Δf∥L3(R3×[1,2])≤Cε∥Jεf∥L3\|e^{it\sqrt{-\Delta}}f\|_{L^3(\mathbb R^3\times[1,2])}\le C_\varepsilon\|J^\varepsilon f\|_{L^3}. With the L2L^2 and L∞L^\infty-kernel endpoints, Corollary 10.6 gives the full strict range 2<p<∞2<p<\infty, σ>max⁡{0,1−3/p}\sigma>\max\{0,1-3/p\}. Section 11, through Beltran-Hickman-Sogge, Tao and Wolff, derives the strict three-dimensional Bochner-Riesz range, maximal Bochner-Riesz bounds for p≥3p\ge3, the diagonal sphere restriction estimate Lr(S2)→Lr(R3)L^r(S^2)\to L^r(\mathbb R^3) for r>3r>3, and the three-dimensional Kakeya maximal estimate. Not shown: the endpoint σ=0\sigma=0 at p=3p=3, dimensions n≥4n\ge4, or the conjecture's general-nn form.
