Bourgain--Demeter's additive-energy conjecture for the 2-sphere

Let S3,1={xR3:x12+x22+x32=1}\mathcal{S}_{3,1}=\{\bm{x}\in\mathbb{R}^3:x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2=1\}, and let E2,2(A)E_{2,2}(A) denote the number of quadruples (x1,x2,x3,x4)A4(\bm{x}_1,\bm{x}_2,\bm{x}_3,\bm{x}_4)\in A^4 satisfying x1+x2=x3+x4\bm{x}_1+\bm{x}_2=\bm{x}_3+\bm{x}_4. Bourgain--Demeter's additive-energy conjecture. For every finite, non-empty subset AS3,1A\subseteq\mathcal{S}_{3,1},

E2,2(A)ϵA2+ϵ.E_{2,2}(A)\ll_{\epsilon}|A|^{2+\epsilon}.

This is the conjectured sharp spacing-independent bound for additive energies on the 2-sphere, analogous to the corresponding estimate for the truncated paraboloid. The paper does not state that it has been resolved.
