Restriction of averaging operators to algebraic varieties over finite fields (1601.07677v2)
Published 28 Jan 2016 in math.CA
Abstract: We study $Lp\to Lr$ estimates for restricted averaging operators related to algebraic varieties $V$ of $d$-dimensional vector spaces over finite fields $\mathbb F_q$ with $q$ elements. We observe properties of both the Fourier restriction operator and the averaging operator over $V\subset \mathbb F_qd.$ As a consequence, we obtain optimal results on the restricted averaging problems for spheres and paraboloids in dimensions $d\ge2,$ and cones in odd dimensions $d\ge 3.$ In addition, when the variety $V$ is a cone lying in an even dimensional vector space over $\mathbb F_q$ and $-1$ is a square number in $\mathbb F_q$, we also obtain sharp estimates except for two endpoints.
