Fourier-extension estimates for symmetric functions and applications to nonlinear Helmholtz equations

We establish weighted $L^p$-Fourier-extension estimates for $O(N-k) \times O(k)$-invariant functions defined on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{N-1}$, allowing for exponents $p$ below the Stein-Tomas critical exponent $\frac{2(N+1)}{N-1}$. Moreover, in the more general setting of an arbitrary closed subgroup $G \subset O(N)$ and $G$-invariant functions, we study the implications of weighted Fourier-extension estimates with regard to boundedness and nonvanishing properties of the corresponding weighted Helmholtz resolvent operator. Finally, we use these properties to derive new existence results for $G$-invariant solutions to the nonlinear Helmholtz equation $- Δu - u = Q(x)|u|^{p-2}u, \quad u \in W^{2,p}(\mathbb{R}^{N}),$ where $Q$ is a nonnegative bounded and $G$-invariant weight function.
