Pólya’s eigenvalue conjecture

Does the area of a planar region impose a sharp lower bound on every Dirichlet vibration frequency, rather than only on high frequencies in the limit?

Quantum unique ergodicity conjecture

Must every sequence of increasingly high-frequency waves spread uniformly in phase space on a connected compact manifold of negative curvature and dimension at least two?

Bochner–Riesz conjecture

How much smoothing of a spherical frequency cutoff guarantees bounded Fourier reconstruction in higher dimensions?
