The capacity comparison conjecture for the fractional Riesz transform

Let d2d\geq 2, let 0<s<d0<s<d with sNs\notin\mathbf{N}, and let ERdE\subset\mathbf{R}^d be compact. For a gauge Φ\Phi, let capΦ,s(E)\operatorname{cap}_{\Phi,s}(E) denote the associated nonlinear capacity, and let

γs(E)=sup{μ(E):μM+(Rd), supp(μ)E, R(μ)L1}\gamma_s(E)=\sup\{\mu(E):\mu\in\mathcal{M}^+(\mathbf{R}^d),\ \operatorname{supp}(\mu)\subset E,\ \|R(\mu)\|_{L^{\infty}}\leq 1\}

be the ss-dimensional Calderón–Zygmund capacity, where RR is the ss-dimensional Riesz transform. Capacity comparison conjecture. There exist positive constants A1A_1 and A2A_2, depending on ss and dd, such that

A1capΦ,s(E)γs(E)A2capΦ,s(E),A_1\operatorname{cap}_{\Phi,s}(E)\leq\gamma_s(E)\leq A_2\operatorname{cap}_{\Phi,s}(E),

for every compact set ERdE\subset\mathbf{R}^d, with Φ(t)=t2\Phi(t)=t^2. This conjecture proposes two-sided comparability between the Calderón–Zygmund capacity and the nonlinear capacity associated with the quadratic gauge. The source gives no resolution of the conjecture.
