Euclidean local smoothing conjecture for wave equations
Suppose has the flat metric, solves the Cauchy problem
and define and . Euclidean local smoothing conjecture. For every and every , there is a constant such that
Here the parameter is the fixed-time regularity order, so the assertion is a gain of derivatives from integration in time. The conjecture was verified in dimension by Guth, Wang, and Zhang, while it implies major open problems in higher dimensions.
