Uniform restricted X-ray transform estimates for polynomial curves

Let d3d\geq 3 and let P:RRd1P:{\bf R}\to{\bf R}^{d-1} be a polynomial of degree NN. Write

dγλ(t)=det(γ(t),,γ(d1)(t))2d(d1)dtd\gamma^*\lambda(t)=|\det(\gamma'(t),\ldots,\gamma^{(d-1)}(t))|^{\frac{2}{d(d-1)}}\,dt

for affine arclength measure, and let XPX^P denote the restricted X-ray transform associated with PP. Let p,q,rp,q,r satisfy the conditions in the source, with equality in each of the first two conditions and also the third condition. Uniform restricted X-ray transform conjecture. Then

XPfLq(Lr;dγλ)CfLp\|X^P f\|_{L^q(L^r;d\gamma^*\lambda)}\leq C\|f\|_{L^p}

for every fLpf\in L^p, where CC depends only on dd, NN, and θ\theta. Furthermore, if PP is fixed and LPL_P is not identically zero, these are the only exponents for which the asserted estimate can hold. The conjecture proposes affine-arclength-weighted mixed-norm bounds uniform over polynomial curves of fixed degree; the supplied text does not establish the estimate or provide evidence resolving the conjecture.
