Chen–Véron conjecture on decaying fundamental solutions of the logarithmic Laplacian

Let d∈{1,2}d\in\{1,2\}. A fundamental solution of the logarithmic Laplacian is a distribution EE solving the fundamental-solution equation for the logarithmic Laplacian. The conjecture concerns a radial, locally integrable representative EE and the asymptotic bound

∣E(x)∣≲∣x∣−(d−12),∣x∣≥2.|E(x)|\lesssim |x|^{-\left(\frac{d-1}{2}\right)},\qquad |x|\geq 2.

Chen–Véron conjecture. In dimensions 11 and 22, such a fundamental solution exists, is radial and locally integrable, and satisfies the displayed bound.

This is a modified version of a conjecture attributed to Chen and Véron concerning a fundamental solution with decay properties analogous to a Sommerfeld radiation condition. The preceding classification describes all fundamental solutions, while the existence of one with these additional properties remains open in the supplied source.
