Lusin, in 1913, while considering the properties of Hilbert's transform, conjectured that every function in $L^2[-\pi, \pi]$ has an a.e. convergent Fourier series. Kolmogorov, in 1923, gave an example of a function in $L^1[-\pi, \pi]$ with an a.e. divergent Fourier series. The problem is famously solved by Carleson in 1966, and it has at least twosome different proofs (Feffermann, Lacey-Thiele).
My question. What about higher dimension? It seems that this problem is currently out of reach. Can anyone explain why it's so difficult intuitively? And is there any related (positive or negative) result or notes on the higher dimensional Lusin problem?
