Bounded-constant conjecture for small values of bounded-spectrum functions

From papers

Let ff be a trigonometric polynomial with n+1n+1 terms, and let HfH_f denote the maximum modulus of its nonconstant coefficients. Write Jf(u)J_f(u) for the measure of the set where f<u|f|<u, and let CnC_n be the constants in the previously established estimate

Jf(u)CnHf1/nu1/n.J_f(u)\leq C_n H_f^{1/n}u^{1/n}.

Bounded-constant conjecture. In the estimate above, CnC_n can be replaced by a bounded sequence.

The claim would substantially improve the quantitative small-value estimates proved in the paper, whose constants are currently obtained recursively and are only known from computation to have a bounded normalized limit. Its resolution is not supplied here.
