Generalized Maximum Modulus Principle for cyclic groups

Fix N>2N>2 and d1d\geq 1. Let ΩN\Omega_N be the group of NNth roots of unity, and let f:ΩNnCf:\Omega_N^n\to\mathbf{C} have degree at most dd and local degree at most N1N-1, so that

f(z)=α{0,1,,N1}n:αdaαzα.f(z)=\sum_{\alpha\in\{0,1,\dots,N-1\}^n:\lvert\alpha\rvert\leq d}a_{\alpha}z^{\alpha}.

Generalized Maximum Modulus Principle. There exists C(d,N)>0C(d,N)>0, independent of nn, such that for every n1n\geq 1,

maxzconv(ΩN)nf(z)C(d,N)maxzΩNnf(z).\max_{z\in\operatorname{conv}(\Omega_N)^n}\lvert f(z)\rvert\leq C(d,N)\max_{z\in\Omega_N^n}\lvert f(z)\rvert.

For N=N=\infty and N=2N=2 the analogous inequality is trivial with constant 11, whereas the case 2<N<2<N<\infty is described as highly non-trivial and motivates the conjecture.
