Sogge's local smoothing conjecture for the wave equation predicts that the local $$L^p$$ space-time estimate gains a fractional derivative of order almost $$1/p$$ compared to the fixed time $$L^p$$ estimates, when $$p>2n/(n-1)$$. Jointly with Larry Guth and Hong Wang, we recently proved the conjecture in $$bb{R}^{2+1}$$. I will talk about our proof and explain several important ingredients such as induction on scales and an incidence type theorem.
