Lipschitz nodal-set conjecture for Neumann eigenfunctions on symmetric convex bodies

From papers

Let ΩRn\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n be bounded, open, convex, and symmetric, and let uu be a Neumann eigenfunction with the least non-zero eigenvalue. Lipschitz nodal-set conjecture. There are suitable coordinates and a Lipschitz function φ:Rn1R\varphi:\mathbb{R}^{n-1}\to\mathbb{R} such that

{xΩ:u(x)=0}={(x,xn)Ω:xn=φ(x)},φcn.\{x\in\Omega:u(x)=0\}=\{(x',x_n)\in\Omega:x_n=\varphi(x')\},\qquad |\nabla\varphi|\le c_n.

This quantitative nodal-set statement is proposed as an ingredient for a continuity argument proving the hot spots conjecture; the source presents it as open and notes that quantitative control is needed near the extrema.
