Multi-Parameter Exponential Sums with Product Hilbert Kernels

Abstract

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the uniform boundedness of the multi-parameter exponential sums with product Hilbert kernels $$\sum_{1\le|t_1|\le N_1,\cdots,1\le|t_k|\le N_k} \frac{e^{2πi P(t_1,\dots,t_k)}}{t_1\cdots t_k},$$ where $P:\mathbb{Z}^k\to\mathbb{R}$ is a polynomial of the form $P(t)=\sum_{\mathfrak{m}\in Λ} c_{\mathfrak{m}}\, t^{\mathfrak{m}},$ with real coefficients. The resulting bound is uniform in both the coefficients $c_{\mathfrak m}$ and the truncation parameters $N_1,\ldots,N_k$. To this end, we develop a higher-dimensional version of the multi-parameter circle method. Under the sufficient condition, we further prove $\ell^p$-boundedness of the associated discrete multiple Hilbert transform.
