The asymptotic Christoffel-like function conjecture for tensor-product polynomial spaces

Let Ω\boldsymbol{\Omega} be the compact support of a positive Borel probability measure μ\mu on Rd\mathbb{R}^d, and let ff be its positive, continuous density with respect to Lebesgue measure on Ω\boldsymbol{\Omega}. Write s(n,d)s(n,d)_\infty for the normalization used for the tensor-product polynomial space and Λnμ\Lambda_{\otimes n}^{\mu} for the associated Christoffel polynomial. Then, for zRd\mathbf{z} \in \mathbb{R}^d, the conjectured asymptotic formula.

limn1s(n,d)Λnμ(z)=ωE,(z)f(z),\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{s(n,d)_\infty} \Lambda_{\otimes n}^{\mu}(\mathbf{z}) = \frac{\omega_{E, \infty}(\mathbf{z})}{f(\mathbf{z})},

where ωE,:RdR0\omega_{E, \infty}: \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0} depends on Ω\mathbf{\Omega} but not on ff. The conjecture seeks a tensor-product analogue of the known asymptotic behavior for total-degree Christoffel polynomials; establishing the limit and identifying its support-dependent factor remain open in the stated generality.
