Abstract: Van der Corput's lemma gives an upper bound for one-dimensional oscillatory integrals that depends only on a lower bound for some derivative of the phase, not on any upper bound of any sort. We establish generalizations to higher dimensions, in which the only hypothesis is that a partial derivative of the phase is assumed bounded below by a positive constant. Analogous upper bounds for measures of sublevel sets are also obtained. The analysis, particularly for the sublevel set estimates, has a more combinatorial flavour than in the one-dimensional case.
