Strichartz estimates for geophysical fluid equations using Fourier restriction theory

Abstract

We prove Strichartz estimates for the semigroups associated to stratified and/or rotating inviscid geophysical fluids using Fourier restriction theory. We prove new results for rotating stratified fluids, and recover results from [16] for rotation only, and from [17] for stratification only. Our restriction estimates are obtained by the slicing method [20], which relies on the well-known Tomas-Stein theorem for 2-dimensional spheres. To our knowledge, such a method has never been used in this setting. Moreover, when the fluid is stratified, our approach yields sharp estimates, showing that the slicing method captures all the available curvature of the surfaces of interest.
