About the Lab

Professor Jong-Guk Bak's research lab specializes in harmonic analysis, with a focus on Fourier restriction theory, oscillatory integral operators, and spectral projections on manifolds. The lab investigates sharp $ L^p o L^q $ estimates, particularly endpoint and uniform bounds, using advanced tools such as Lorentz spaces, affine arclength measures, and multilinear interpolation. Key contributions include resolving long-standing problems on restriction estimates for degenerate and flat curves, and establishing sharp results for Bochner-Riesz and oscillatory operators in various geometric settings.

Extensions of the Stein–Tomas Theorem
Jong-Guk Bak, Andreas Seeger
SJR Q1Mathematical Research LettersOA

We prove an endpoint version of the Stein-Tomas restriction theorem, for a general class of measures, and with a strengthened Lorentz space estimate. A similar improvement is obtained for Stein's estimate on oscillatory integrals of Carleson-Sjlin-Hrmander type and some spectral projection operators on compact manifolds, and for classes of oscillatory integral operators with one-sided fold singularities.

Restriction of Fourier transforms to curves and related oscillatoryintegrals
Jong-Guk Bak, Daniel M. Oberlin, Andreas Seeger
SJR Q1American Journal of Mathematics

We prove sharp endpoint results for the Fourier restriction operator associated to nondegenerate curves in ${\Bbb R}^d$, $d\ge 3$, and related estimates for oscillatory integral operators. Moreover, for some larger classes of curves in ${\Bbb R}^d$ we obtain sharp uniform $L^p\to L^q$ bounds with respect to affine arclength measure, thereby resolving a problem of Drury and Marshall.

RESTRICTION OF FOURIER TRANSFORMS TO CURVES II: SOME CLASSES WITH VANISHING TORSION
Jong-Guk Bak, Daniel M. Oberlin, Andreas Seeger
SJR Q2Journal of the Australian Mathematical SocietyOA

Abstract We consider the Fourier restriction operators associated to certain degenerate curves in ℝ d for which the highest torsion vanishes. We prove estimates with respect to affine arclength and with respect to the Euclidean arclength measure on the curve. The estimates have certain uniform features, and the affine arclength results cover families of flat curves.

Sharp estimates for the Bochner-Riesz operator of negative order in R^2
Jong-Guk Bak
SJR Q1Proceedings of the American Mathematical SocietyOA

The Bochner-Riesz operator $T^{\alpha }$ on $\mathbf {R}^{n}$ of order $\alpha$ is defined by \begin{equation*}(T^{\alpha } f)\;\widehat {}\;(\xi ) = {\frac {(1-|\xi |^{2})_{+}^{\alpha } }{\Gamma (\alpha +1)}} \hat {f}(\xi ) \end{equation*} where $\;\widehat {}\;$ denotes the Fourier transform and $r_{+}^{\alpha } = r^{\alpha }$ if $r>0$, and $r_{+}^{\alpha }=0$ if $r\leq 0$. We determine all pairs $(p,q)$ such that $T^{\alpha }$ on $\mathbf {R}^{2}$ of negative order is bounded from $L^{p}(\mat

Restriction of Fourier transforms to curves:An endpoint estimate with affine arclength measure
Jong-Guk Bak, Daniel M. Oberlin, Andreas Seeger
SJR Q1Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelles Journal)

Abstract. Consider the Fourier restriction operators associated to curves in ℝ d , . We prove for various classes of curves the endpoint restricted strong type estimate with respect to affine arclength measure on the curve. An essential ingredient is an interpolation result for multilinear operators with symmetries acting on sequences of vector-valued functions.

Lp-Lq estimates off the line of duality
Jong-Guk Bak, David Mcmichael, Daniel M. Oberlin
Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society Series A Pure Mathematics and StatisticsOA

Abstract Theorems 1 and 2 are known results concerning L p – L q estimates for certain operators wherein the point (1/ p , 1/ q ) lies on the line of duality 1/ p + 1/ q = 1. In Theorems 1′ and 2′ we show that with mild additional hypotheses it is possible to prove L p - L q estimates for indices (1/ p , 1/ q ) off the line of duality. Applications to Bochner-Riesz means of negative order and uniform Sobolev inequalities are given.
