Cordoba's Fourier-series norm equivalence conjecture

Let kk be a positive integer and (an)nZ(a_n)_{n\in\mathbb Z} a sequence of complex numbers. Define the Fourier series S(t)S(t) by

S(t)nane2πinkθ.S(t) \sim \sum_n a_n e^{2\pi i n^k \theta}.

Cordoba's conjecture. For α<2k\alpha<2k, there exists a constant CαC_\alpha such that

\left\\|\sum_{n\in\mathbb Z}a_n e^{2\pi i n^k \theta}\right\\|_\alpha \leq C_\alpha \left(\sum_{n\in\mathbb Z}|a_n|^2\right)^{\frac12}.

This asserts equivalence of the L2L^2 and LαL^\alpha norms for Fourier series supported on kkth powers. The paper presents the statement as an old conjecture and subsequently discusses the quadratic case, which is disproved for the relevant range of exponents.
