Injectivity conjecture for convolution with the unit-ball indicator

Let n2n\ge 2. For 1p2nn11 \le p \le \frac{2n}{n-1}, consider the convolution operator

Lp(Rn)Lp(Rn),uu1B1,L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)\to L^p(\mathbb{R}^n),\qquad u\mapsto u\star 1_{B_1},

where B1B_1 is the unit ball in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. Injectivity conjecture. The convolution operator is one-to-one for all 1p2nn11 \le p \le \frac{2n}{n-1}. This is the proposed sharp range of exponents for injectivity of convolution with the unit-ball indicator, motivated by the corresponding kernel question for spherical and elliptic operators; the source does not establish the endpoint range.
