Generalized square function estimates for curves and their conical extensions

Abstract

We show sharp square function estimates for curves in the plane whose curvature degenerates at a point and estimates sharp up to endpoints for cones over these curves. To this end, for curves of finite type we extend the classical Córdoba--Fefferman biorthogonality. For cones over degenerate curves, we analyze wave envelope estimates proved via High-Low-decomposition. The arguments are subsequently extended to the cone over the complex parabola.
