Raf Cluckers' conjecture on parametric suprema of constructible functions

About 3 years old · traced to

Let X⊂(0,∞)×RkX\subset(0,\infty)\times\mathbb{R}^k be a subanalytic set, and let F ⁣:X→RF\colon X\to\mathbb{R} be a constructible, non-negative function, written F(ε,x)F(\varepsilon,\bm{x}). A function is constructible when it belongs to the class generated by globally subanalytic functions and logarithms of positive globally subanalytic functions. Raf Cluckers' conjecture. There exist a constant δ>0\delta>0 and a function G ⁣:(0,∞)→RG\colon(0,\infty)\to\mathbb{R} of the form

G(ε)=c∣log⁡ε∣lεaG(\varepsilon)=c\lvert\log\varepsilon\rvert^l\varepsilon^a

where c≥0c\geq0 is real, aa is rational, and l≥0l\geq0 is an integer, such that

δG(ε)≤sup⁡x∈RkF(ε,x)≤G(ε)\delta G(\varepsilon)\leq\sup_{\bm{x}\in\mathbb{R}^k}F(\varepsilon,\bm{x})\leq G(\varepsilon)

for all ε<δ\varepsilon<\delta. This conjecture proposes a weak stability property for parametric maxima or suprema of constructible functions, whose full stability under parametric maxima is known to fail. The source gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
