A cone restriction estimate using polynomial partitioning

Abstract

We obtain improved Fourier restriction estimate for the truncated cone using the method of polynomial partitioning in dimension $n\geq 3$, which in particular solves the cone restriction conjecture for $n=5$, and recovers the sharp range for $3\leq n\leq 4$. The main ingredient of the proof is a $k$-broad estimate for the cone extension operator, which is a weak version of the $k$-linear cone restriction estimate for $2\leq k\leq n$.
