Small cap decoupling conjecture for the cone

Let Co2=(ξ1,ξ2,ξ12+ξ22):1ξ12+ξ222{{\mathbb C}}o^2=\\{(\xi_1,\xi_2,\sqrt{\xi_1^2+\xi_2^2}):1\leq \xi_1^2+\xi_2^2\leq 2\\} be the truncated cone, and let Γ(δ)\Gamma(\delta) partition its δ\delta-neighborhood into almost rectangular boxes γ\gamma of dimensions (δ1/2,δ,δ1/2)\sim(\delta^{1/2},\delta,\delta^{1/2}). Let PγF\mathcal P_\gamma F denote the Fourier projection to γ\gamma. Small cap decoupling conjecture for the cone. If F:R3CF:{\mathbb R}^3\to{\mathbb C} has Fourier transform supported inside

NCo2(R1),{\mathcal N}_{{{\mathbb C}}o^2}(R^{-1}),

then for each 2p42\leq p\leq4 one has

FLp(R3)ϵR121p+ϵ(γΓ(R1)PγFLp(R3)p)1p.\\|F\\|_{L^p({\mathbb R}^3)}\lesssim_\epsilon R^{\frac12-\frac1p+\epsilon}\left(\sum_{\gamma\in \Gamma(R^{-1})}\\|{\mathcal P}_\gamma F\\|^p_{L^p({\mathbb R}^3)}\right)^{\frac1p}.

This conjecture concerns decoupling for the truncated cone, whose Gaussian curvature vanishes identically; the source recalls it as a conjecture stated at the end of the cited work, and no resolution is given here.
