Generalized coarse Bézout conjecture for persistent zero sets

From papers

Let MM be the compact manifold, let DD be the relevant geometric parameter, and let Fλj\mathcal{F}_{\lambda_j} denote the corresponding eigenspaces. Let fjFλjf_j\in\mathcal{F}_{\lambda_j} and let s=(f1,,fn)s=(f_1,\dots,f_n) be the section considered in the coarse Bézout theorem. For δ>0\delta>0, write z0(s,δ)z_0(s,\delta) for its persistent zero count, and let k>n/2k>n/2 be the integer used there. Generalized coarse Bézout conjecture. One expects

z0(s,δ)C1δn/k((λ1+1)(λn+1))1q+1,z_0(s,\delta)\leq \frac{C_1}{\delta^{n/k}}\left((\lambda_1+1)\cdot\ldots\cdot(\lambda_n+1)\right)^{\frac{1}{q}}+1,

where C1C_1 depends only on M,D,kM,D,k. This would extend the coarse Bézout estimate from comparable eigenvalues to functions with distinct eigenvalues, reflecting the product of the corresponding algebraic degrees. The source presents this as a tempting conjecture rather than an established result; the status of the general estimate is therefore open.
