Uniform restriction conjecture for toral eigenfunctions

From papers

Let d2d\geq 2 and let ΣTd\Sigma\subset\mathbb T^d be a real analytic hypersurface. For an eigenfunction φλ\varphi_\lambda of the Laplacian on Td\mathbb T^d, write φλ2\|\varphi_\lambda\|_2 for its ambient L2L^2 norm and φλL2(Σ)\|\varphi_\lambda\|_{L^2(\Sigma)} for its restriction norm. Uniform restriction conjecture. There is a constant CΣC_\Sigma such that all eigenfunctions satisfy

φλL2(Σ)CΣφλ2.\|\varphi_\lambda\|_{L^2(\Sigma)}\leq C_\Sigma\|\varphi_\lambda\|_2.

If moreover Σ\Sigma has nowhere vanishing curvature and λ>λΣ\lambda>\lambda_\Sigma, for some cΣ>0c_\Sigma>0 one also has

φλL2(Σ)cΣφλ2.\|\varphi_\lambda\|_{L^2(\Sigma)}\geq c_\Sigma\|\varphi_\lambda\|_2.

The statement would extend the main restriction theorem from the cases treated in the paper to arbitrary dimensions. The supplied text says that this extension remains unsettled, so the conjecture is open.
