Reverse Hölder self-improvement conjecture

Let ww be a weight on cubes QQ, and define the reverse Hölder characteristic by

[w]RHp:=supQ(Q1Qwpdx)1/pQ1Qwdx.[w]_{\operatorname{RH}_p}:=\sup_Q\frac{\left(|Q|^{-1}\int_Q w^p\,dx\right)^{1/p}}{|Q|^{-1}\int_Qw\,dx}.

Reverse Hölder self-improvement conjecture. If wRHpw\in\operatorname{RH}_p and 1<p<1<p<\infty, then for

0<εd,p1[w]RHpp,0<\varepsilon\lesssim_{d,p}\frac{1}{[w]_{\operatorname{RH}_p}^{p}},

one has

1QQwp+εdx2[w]RHpp+ε(1QQwdx)p+ε.\frac{1}{|Q|}\int_Qw^{p+\varepsilon}\,dx\le 2[w]_{\operatorname{RH}_p}^{p+\varepsilon}\left(\frac{1}{|Q|}\int_Qw\,dx\right)^{p+\varepsilon}.

This conjectures a quantitative higher-integrability estimate for reverse Hölder weights with an exponent range controlled by the reverse Hölder characteristic; the source gives no evidence that it has been resolved.
