Abstract

Let S be a hypersurface in \({\Bbb{R}}^{3}\) which is the graph of a smooth, finite type function φ, and let μ=ρ be a surface carried measure on S, where denotes the surface element on S and ρ a smooth density with sufficiently small support. We derive uniform estimates for the Fourier transform \(\hat{\mu}\) of μ, which are sharp except for the case where the principal face of the Newton polyhedron of φ, when expressed in adapted coordinates, is unbounded. As an application, we prove a sharp L p-L 2 Fourier restriction theorem for S in the case where the original coordinates are adapted to φ. This improves on earlier joint work with M. Kempe.
