Kakeya LpL^p conjecture

Fix d2d\geq2. For each 1/R1/R-cap θ\theta on Sd1S^{d-1}, let θ\theta^* be the corresponding radius-one, length-RR tube, and let xθx_\theta be arbitrary. Kakeya LpL^p conjecture. For every ϵ>0\epsilon>0, there is a constant C(ϵ,d)C(\epsilon,d) such that for every p1p\geq1,

θ1θ+xθ(x)pdxC(ϵ,d)Rϵ(R(d1)p+Rd).\int\left|\sum_\theta1_{\theta^*+x_\theta}(x)\right|^p\,dx\leq C(\epsilon,d)R^\epsilon\left(R^{(d-1)p}+R^d\right).

The right-hand side is the benchmark supplied by the concentric-tube example. The source gives no resolution.
