In this paper we introduce a new type of restriction problem, called the restriction problem with moments. We show that the surface area measure of the sphere satisfies the L p -L 2 restriction problem with moments if 1 ≤ p < 2(d+2) d+3 and that the Frostman measure constructed by Salem satisfies the L p -L 2 restriction problem with moments if4(1−α)+β for certain values of α and β. The main tool to obtain these new type of restriction phenomenon is the notion of distributions with decay in connection with classes of global L q ultradifferentiable functions. We develop the notion of distributions with decay and use it to define global wavefront sets of classes of function spaces, including L p -Sobolev spaces on R d as well as global L q -Denjoy Carleman functions. We also introduce the corresponding notion of microglobal regularity. We prove a characterization of distributions (in a given function space) with decay in terms of microglobal regularity in every direction of their Fourier transforms.
