The non-resonant bilinear Hilbert--Carleson operator (2106.09697v1)

Abstract: In this paper we introduce the class of bilinear Hilbert--Carleson operators ${BC^a}_{a>0}$ defined by $$ BC^{a}(f,g)(x):= \sup_{\lambda\in {\mathbb R}} \Big|\int f(x-t)\, g(x+t)\, e^{i\lambda t^a} \, \frac{dt}{t} \Big| $$ and show that in the non-resonant case $a\in (0,\infty)\setminus{1,2}$ the operator $BC^a$ extends continuously from $L^p({\mathbb R})\times L^q({\mathbb R})$ into $L^r({\mathbb R})$ whenever $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{r}$ with $1<p,\,q\leq\infty$ and $\frac{2}{3}<r<\infty$. A key novel feature of these operators is that -- in the non-resonant case -- $BC^{a}$ has a \emph{hybrid} nature enjoying both (1) zero curvature'' features inherited from the modulation invariance property of the classical bilinear Hilbert transform (BHT), and (2)non-zero curvature'' features arising from the Carleson-type operator with nonlinear phase $\lambda t^a$.
