The unrestricted cylindrical width conjecture for finite transitive subsets of complex spheres

From papers

Let 1kd1\le k\le d. Let XX be a finite transitive subset of the unit sphere in Cd\mathbb{C}^d. Unrestricted cylindrical width conjecture. There is a complex kk-dimensional subspace WW such that

supxXprojWx21log(2d/k).\sup_{\mathbf{x}\in X}\lVert\operatorname{proj}_W\mathbf{x}\rVert_2 \lesssim \frac{1}{\sqrt{\log(2d/k)}}.

The preceding theorem proves this estimate under the additional restriction kd/(log(3d))Ck\le d/(\log(3d))^C; the authors suspect that this restriction is unnecessary, so the conjecture concerns all 1kd1\le k\le d.
