Extend logarithmic lower bounds beyond the present Matérn parameters
Extend the logarithmic lower bounds for standard Gaussian Process Thompson Sampling beyond the one-dimensional Matérn-$5/2$ setting studied in the paper, in order to determine how widely the Gaussian-overshoot mechanism applies.
References
Several questions remain. Extending the logarithmic lower bounds beyond the present Matérn parameters would clarify how widely the identified mechanism applies.
