$L^p$ estimates for the biest II. The Fourier case

Abstract

We prove L^p estimates for the "biest", a trilinear multiplier with singular symbol which arises naturally in the expansion of eigenfunctions of a Schrodinger operator, and which is also related to the bilinear Hilbert transform. In a previous paper these estimates were obtained for a simpler Walsh model for this operator, but in the Fourier case additional complications arise due to the inability to perfectly localize in both space and frequency.
