Abstract: We resolve the long-standing problem of Rudin concerning uniformly bounded orthonormal bases of homogeneous polynomials on complex unit spheres. Specifically, we show that for every $K \geq 2$ and $N \geq 0$ there exists a basis of degree $N$ homogeneous polynomials in $\mathbb{C}^K$ that is orthonormal with respect to the surface measure of the unit sphere of $\mathbb{C}^K$ and uniformly bounded by a constant depending only on $K$ on the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^K$. Bourgain resolved the case $K = 2$ in 1985 and the case $K = 3$ in 2016. No cases $K \geq 4$ were previously known.
