Abstract: We prove several variations on the results of F. Ricci and G. Travaglini (2001), concerning $ L^{p}-L^{p'}$ bounds for convolution with all rotations of arc length measure on a fixed convex curve in $ \mathbb{R} ^{2}$. Estimates are obtained for averages over higher-dimensional convex (nonsmooth) hypersurfaces, smooth $ k$-dimensional surfaces, and nontranslation-invariant families of surfaces. We compare Ricci and Travaglini's approach, based on average decay of the Fourier transform, with an approach based on $ L^{2}$ boundedness of Fourier integral operators, and show that essentially the same geometric condition arises in proofs using the two techniques.
