Albuquerque–Rezende's norm estimate conjecture for unimodular multilinear forms

About 6 years old · traced to

Let m≥1m\geq 1 and let p1,…,pm∈[1,∞]p_{1},\dots,p_{m}\in[1,\infty]. For positive integers n1,…,nmn_{1},\dots,n_{m}, let A:ℓp1n1×⋯×ℓpmnm→KA:\ell_{p_{1}}^{n_{1}}\times\cdots\times\ell_{p_{m}}^{n_{m}}\rightarrow\mathbb{K} be a unimodular multilinear form, meaning that all coefficients of AA have modulus one. Define

γ:=min⁡{2,max⁡{pk:pk≤2}}.\gamma:=\min\left\{2,\max\{p_{k}:p_{k}\leq 2\}\right\}.

The infimum below is taken over all such forms AA.

Albuquerque–Rezende's conjecture. There exist constants Bm,Cm>0B_{m},C_{m}>0, depending only on mm, such that

Bm≤inf⁡∥A∥(∑k=1mnk1−1γ)⋅∏k=1mnkmax⁡{1γ−1pk,0}≤Cm,B_{m}\leq\inf\frac{\lVert A\rVert}{\left(\sum_{k=1}^{m}n_{k}^{1-\frac{1}{\gamma}}\right)\cdot\prod_{k=1}^{m}n_{k}^{\max\left\{\frac{1}{\gamma}-\frac{1}{p_{k}},0\right\}}}\leq C_{m},

and the exponents involved are sharp.

The conjecture proposed an optimal two-sided estimate for the norm of unimodular multilinear forms on products of finite-dimensional sequence spaces. It is false: the source notes that a subsequent estimate disproves the conjecture.
