Optimal distortion conjecture for the TMC projection

Let ψ2k+1:S2k+1S1\psi_{2k+1}:\mathbb{S}^{2k+1}\to\mathbb{S}^1 and ψ2k:S2kS1\psi_{2k}:\mathbb{S}^{2k}\to\mathbb{S}^1 be the projections associated with the trigonometric moment curve embeddings, and let disc\mathrm{disc} denote projection distortion. TMC projection distortion conjecture.

disc(ψ2k+1)=disc(ψ2k)=δk.\mathrm{disc}(\psi_{2k+1})=\mathrm{disc}(\psi_{2k})=\delta_k.

The paper gives a lower bound of δk\delta_k for both quantities, motivating the conjectured equality; no resolution is stated.
