Sharp bandwidth exponent conjecture for surfaces of revolution

From papers

Let SS\mathcal{S}\in\mathfrak{S}, let ε>0\varepsilon>0, and let KK be a compact subset of S\mathcal{S} at distance at least ε\varepsilon from both the poles and the equator. Let Pλ,δP_{\lambda,\delta} be the spectral projector in the paper.

Sharp bandwidth conjecture. The main projector estimate should hold for

δλ1/3,Pλ,δL2(S)L(K)S,ελ1/2δ1/2.\delta\geq\lambda^{-1/3},\qquad \\|P_{\lambda,\delta}\\|_{L^2(\mathcal{S})\to L^\infty(K)}\lesssim_{\mathcal{S},\varepsilon}\lambda^{1/2}\delta^{1/2}.

Furthermore, the lower bound of the cited corollary should also hold up to λ1/3\lambda^{-1/3}. For any S\mathcal{S}, the exponent 1/31/3 is conjectured to be optimal: the main estimate should fail at scales λτ\lambda^{-\tau} for every τ>1/3\tau>1/3. This is the paper's conjectural optimal improvement of the proved exponent 1/321/32, away from the poles and equator.
