Frantzikinakis--Kuca pointwise vanishing conjecture for nilsystems

From papers

Let (G/Γ,μG/Γ,Rα)(G/\Gamma,\mu_{G/\Gamma},R_\alpha) be an ergodic nilsystem, and let k1,,kZk_1,\ldots,k_\ell\in\mathbb Z be nonzero and distinct. For functions f0,,fL(μG/Γ)f_0,\ldots,f_\ell\in L^\infty(\mu_{G/\Gamma}), define the U+1(G/Γ)U^{\ell+1}(G/\Gamma) seminorms as the Gowers--Host--Kra seminorms on the nilsystem. Frantzikinakis--Kuca pointwise vanishing conjecture. If fjU+1(G/Γ)=0\|f_j\|_{U^{\ell+1}(G/\Gamma)}=0 for some j{0,,}j\in\{0,\ldots,\ell\}, then

limnG/Γf0(x)f1(αk1nx)f(αknx)dμG/Γ(x)=0.\lim_{n\to\infty}\int_{G/\Gamma} f_0(x)\cdot f_1(\alpha^{k_1 n}x)\cdots f_\ell(\alpha^{k_\ell n}x)\,d\mu_{G/\Gamma}(x)=0.

The source presents this as a consequence of the preceding Frantzikinakis--Kuca conjecture rather than as an independently named conjecture, and says that both claims are beyond the paper's scope and remain open.
