Cone restriction conjecture for the wave equation

Let uu solve the wave equation on R×Rn\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^n with initial data u(0,x)=0u(0,x)=0 and ut(0,x)=f(x)u_t(0,x)=f(x). The solution is expressed through the half-wave oscillatory integrals, and for f^\widehat f define

u(t,x)Lt,xq(R×Rn)Cp,q,nf^L1/ξp(Rn).\|u(t,x)\|_{L^q_{t,x}(\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^n)}\leq C_{p,q,n}\|\widehat f\|_{L^p_{1/|\xi|}(\mathbb{R}^n)}.

Here L1/ξp(Rn)L^p_{1/|\xi|}(\mathbb{R}^n) denotes the LpL^p space with measure dξ/ξ\mathrm{d}\xi/|\xi|. Wave-equation cone restriction conjecture. The estimate holds if and only if

q>2nn1andn+1q=n1p.q>\frac{2n}{n-1}\quad\text{and}\quad\frac{n+1}{q}=\frac{n-1}{p'}.

This is the noncompact-cone version of the cone restriction conjecture and is closely related to spacetime estimates for the wave equation. The source presents it as an open formulation, with the corresponding compact-cone conjecture still open in dimensions n5n\geq 5.
