Weak version of restriction estimates for spheres and paraboloids in finite fields

We study $L^p-L^r$ restriction estimates for algebraic varieties in d-dimensional vector spaces over finite fields. Unlike the Euclidean case, if the dimension d is even, then it is conjectured that the $L^{(2d+2)/(d+3)}-L^2$ Stein–Tomas restriction result can be improved to the $L^{(2d+4)/(d+4)}-L^2$ estimate for both spheres and paraboloids in finite fields. In this paper we show that the conjectured $L^p-L^2$ restriction estimate holds in the specific case when test functions under consideration are restricted to d-coordinate functions or homogeneous functions of degree zero. To deduce our result, we use the connection between the restriction phenomena for our varieties in d dimensions and those for homogeneous varieties in $(d+1)$ dimensions.     

ON THE COMMUTATORS OF SINGULAR INTEGRAL OPERATORS

Lp(Rn) (1＜p＜∞) boundedness and a weak type endpoint estimate are considered for the commutators of singular integral operators. A condition on the associated kernel is given under which the L2(Rn) boundedness of the singular integral operators implies the Lp(Rn) boundedness (1＜p＜∞) and the weak type (H1(Rn), L1(Rn))boundedness for the corresponding commutators. A new interpolation theorem is also established.     

A Schauder and Riesz basis criterion for non-self-adjoint Schrödinger operators with periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions

Under the assumption that $V\in L^2([0,\pi ];dx)$, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of spectral data for (non-self-adjoint) Schrödinger operators $?d^2/d{x}^2+V$ in $L^2([0,\pi ];dx)$ with periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions to possess a Riesz basis of root vectors (i.e., eigenvectors and generalized eigenvectors spanning the range of the Riesz projection associated with the corresponding periodic and antiperiodic eigenvalues).We also discuss the case of a Schauder basis for periodic and antiperiodic Schrödinger operators $?d^2/d{x}^2+V$ in $L^p([0,\pi ];dx)$, $p\in (1,\infty )$.
