Singular Integrals Associated to Hypersurfaces: $L^2$ Theory

Abstract

We consider singular integrals associated to a classical Calderón-Zygmund kernel $K$ and a hypersurface given by the graph of $φ(ψ(t))$ where $φ$ is an arbitrary $C^1$ function and $ψ$ is a smooth convex function of finite type. We give a characterization of those Calderón-Zygmund kernels $K$ and convex functions $ψ$ so that the associated singular integral operator is bounded on $L^2$ for all $C^1$ functions $φ$.
