Positive-measure observability conjecture for Schrödinger eigenfunctions on tori

From papers

Let d1d\geq 1, let Td\mathbb{T}^d be the dd-dimensional torus, and let VLx(Td)V\in L^\infty_x(\mathbb{T}^d). Let HV=Δ+V\mathcal{H}_V=-\Delta+V, and let ff be any eigenfunction of HV\mathcal{H}_V. Eigenfunction observability conjecture. For every measurable ωTd\omega\subset\mathbb{T}^d with positive Lebesgue measure, one has

fLx2d,V,ωfLx2(ω).\|f\|_{L^2_x}\lesssim_{d,V,\omega}\|f\|_{L^2_x(\omega)}.

This is the stationary analogue of the space-time observability conjecture and asserts quantitative unique continuation from every positive-measure set. The source presents it as a conjecture for bounded potentials in arbitrary dimension.
