$L^p$ regularity for a class of averaging operators on the Heisenberg group

Abstract

We prove $L^p_{comp}\to L^p_{s}$ boundedness for averaging operators associated to a class of curves in the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^1$ via $L^2$ estimates for related oscillatory integrals and Bourgain-Demeter decoupling inequalities on the cone. We also construct a Sobolev space adapted to translations on the Heisenberg group to which these averaging operators map all $L^p$ functions boundedly.
