Interior LpL^p estimate conjecture for fractional-Laplacian eigenfunctions

From papers

Let d1d\geq1, 0<α<20<\alpha<2, and 2p2\leq p\leq\infty. Let ΩRd\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d be a bounded C1,1C^{1,1} domain, let KΩK\subset\subset\Omega be compact, and let eλe_\lambda be an eigenfunction satisfying the paper's eigenvalue equation, with λ>1\lambda>1. Define

σ(d,α,p)=max{d12α(121p),d12αdαp}.\sigma(d,\alpha,p)=\max\left\{\frac{d-1}{2\alpha}\left(\frac12-\frac1p\right),\frac{d-1}{2\alpha}-\frac{d}{\alpha p}\right\}.

Interior LpL^p estimate conjecture. One should have

eλLp(K)λσ(d,α,p)eλ2,\|e_\lambda\|_{L^p(K)}\lesssim\lambda^{\sigma(d,\alpha,p)}\|e_\lambda\|_2,

where the constant is independent of λ\lambda. The theorem in the paper proves this in substantial parameter ranges, but the cases d=1d=1, 0<α<140<\alpha<\frac14, 2(12α)14α<p\frac{2(1-2\alpha)}{1-4\alpha}<p\leq\infty, and d2d\geq2, 0<α120<\alpha\leq\frac12, 2<p2<p\leq\infty remain unresolved in the stated results; at α=12\alpha=\frac12 estimates with logarithmic losses are obtained.
