Sep 18, 2020 at 21:00 comment added Terry Tao Yes. In physical space this corresponds to trying to create a "sonic boom" effect by having the light cones from the sources at different times all line up.
Sep 18, 2020 at 18:51 comment added J.Mayol @TerryTao thank you, your notes are nice, at least I understand a little more why the Brownian motion is needed. It seems like we can replace the Brownian motion with some $C^{1/2}$ function (with appropriate norm) and try to work with it, although this basically reduces to using the Brownian motion. One last thing: that the $-te_3$ is needed is because we want to "kill" the oscillatory factor $e^{it|\xi|}$ in order to force the integral to diverge? Am I right?
Sep 18, 2020 at 18:30 comment added Terry Tao The Brownian motion term is needed to destroy an "unwanted" cancellation in the Duhamel integral that would otherwise occur if this randomization was not present. I discuss this a little in my own unpublished notes on this example at math.ucla.edu/~tao/preprints/Expository/stein.dvi
