| contents | We consider a class of Hörmander-type oscillatory integral operators in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $n \geq 3$ odd with real analytic phase. We derive weak conditions on the phase which ensure $L^p$ bounds beyond the universal $p \geq 2 \cdot \frac{n+1}{n-1}$ range guaranteed by Stein's oscillatory integral theorem. This expands and elucidates pioneering work of Bourgain from the early 1990s. We also consider a closely related class of variable coefficient Schrödinger propagator-type operators, and show that the corresponding theory differs significantly from that of the Hörmander-type operators. The main ingredient in the proof is a curved Kakeya/Nikodym maximal function estimate. This is established by combining the polynomial method with certain uniform sublevel set estimates for real analytic functions. The sublevel set estimates are the main novelty in the argument and can be interpreted as a form of quantification of linear independence in the $C^ω$ category. |
