Maximal restriction estimates and the maximal function of the Fourier transform

Abstract

We prove a maximal restriction inequality for the Fourier transform, providing an answer to a question left open by M\"uller, Ricci and Wright. Our methods are similar to the ones in their article, with the addition of a suitable trick to help us linearise our maximal function. In the end, we comment on how to use the same trick in combination with Vitturi's approach to obtain a stronger high-dimensional result.
