Abstract

Given three transversal and sufficiently regular hypersurfaces in it follows from work of Bennett-Carbery-Wright that the convolution of two functions supported of the first and second hypersurface, respectively, can be restricted to an function on the third hypersurface, which can be considered as a nonlinear version of the Loomis-Whitney inequality. We generalize this result to a class of hypersurfaces in , under scaleable assumptions. The resulting uniform estimate has applications to nonlinear dispersive equations.
