Mean value conjecture for the moment curve

About 7 years old · traced to

For integers n≥2n\geq 2, parameters 0≤β≤n−10\leq \beta\leq n-1, and s≥1s\geq 1, let e(t)=e2πite(t)=e^{2\pi i t} and integrate over [0,1]n−1×[0,N−β][0,1]^{n-1}\times[0,N^{-\beta}]. Mean value conjecture for the moment curve. One has

∫[0,1]n−1×[0,1Nβ]∣∑k=1Ne(kx1+k2x2+…+knxn)∣2sdx≲ϵNϵ(Ns−β+N2s−n(n+1)2).\int_{[0,1]^{n-1}\times [0,\frac1{N^\beta}]}\left|\sum_{k=1}^N e(kx_1+k^2x_2+\ldots+k^nx_n)\right|^{2s}dx\lesssim_\epsilon N^\epsilon\left(N^{s-\beta}+N^{2s-\frac{n(n+1)}2}\right).

This is a moment estimate for exponential sums along the moment curve, reflecting the expected balance between the diagonal contribution and the higher-order Vinogradov-type contribution; its resolution is not supplied in the given text.
