A remark on restriction theorems and their application to Strichartz estimates

Abstract: We present an elementary approach to prove restriction theorems for particular surfaces for which the Tomas-Stein theorem does not apply, which in turn provide short proofs for well-known Strichartz estimates for associated PDEs. The method consists in applying simple restriction theorems to the level sets of the surfaces studied (for instance, spheres in the case of the cone) and then integrating the inequalities over all level sets. This allows for a different proof of sharp estimates for the wave equation, and of some estimates related to the Euler equations in the rotational framework.
