Abstract
We prove a sharp \(L^p\)-Sobolev regularity result for a class of generalized Radon transforms for families of curves in a three-dimensional manifold, with folding canonical relations. The proof relies on decoupling inequalities by Wolff and by Bourgain–Demeter for plate decompositions of thin neighborhoods of cones.
