On decoupling and restriction estimates

Abstract: In this short note, we prove that the restriction conjecture for the (hyperbolic) paraboloid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ implies the $l^p$-decoupling theorem for the (hyperbolic) paraboloid in $\mathbb{R}^{2d-1}$. In particular, this gives a simple proof of the $l^p$ decoupling theorem for the (hyperbolic) paraboloid in $\mathbb{R}^3$.
