Asymptotic maximal-eigenvalue conjecture for Haar-wavelet matrices

From papers

Let A(N,K)A(N,K) be the (N+1)K×(N+1)K(N+1)K\times(N+1)K matrix whose entries are the integrals of products of Haar wavelets defined in the paper, and let λmax(A(N,K))\lambda_{\max}(A(N,K)) denote its maximal eigenvalue. Maximal-eigenvalue conjecture. Given a small δ>0\delta>0, sufficiently large N,K1N,K\geq1 can be found such that

πδ<λmax(A(N,K)).\pi-\delta<\lambda_{\max}\big(A(N,K)\big).

In particular, for η(21,1)\eta\in(\sqrt 2-1,1) sufficiently close to 11, sufficiently large N,K1N,K\geq1 can be found such that

2πη1+η2λmax(A(N,K)).\frac{2\pi\eta}{1+\eta^2}\leq\lambda_{\max}\big(A(N,K)\big).

This conjecture is intended to establish that the Haar-wavelet construction yields Bell-CHSH violations arbitrarily close to Tsirelson's bound for the free massless (1+1)(1+1)-dimensional spinor field. The paper provides numerical and asymptotic evidence, but the asserted eigenvalue bound is not proved.
