The higher-dimensional singular value pressure inequality

From papers

Let d1d\geq 1. For a measure μ\mu on Md(R)M_d(\mathbb{R}), let μn\mu_{n} denote its nn-fold convolution and let φs\varphi^s and P(μ,s)\mathbf{P}(\mu,s) denote the singular value function and matrix pressure, respectively. The condition φs(A)dμ(A)<\int \varphi^s(A)\,d\mu(A)<\infty is assumed.

Higher-dimensional singular value pressure conjecture. For each d1d\geq 1, there exist an integer n(d)n(d) and a continuous function K^d ⁣:(0,+)(0,+)\hat{K}_d\colon(0,+\infty)\to(0,+\infty) such that, for every such measure μ\mu and every s>0s>0,

φs(A)dμn(d)(A)K^d(s)eP(μ,s)(φs(A)dμ(A))n(d)1.\int \varphi^s(A)\,d\mu_{n(d)}(A)\leq \hat{K}_d(s)e^{\mathbf{P}(\mu,s)}\left(\int \varphi^s(A)\,d\mu(A)\right)^{n(d)-1}.

This conjecture extends the established two-dimensional inequality to arbitrary matrix dimensions. The source states that its methods do not appear sufficient to prove the analogous inequality when d>2d>2, so the proposed extension remains open.
