In Ellenberg and Gijswijt's groundbreaking work~\cite{EllenbergGijswijt}, the authors show that a subset of $\mathbb{Z}_3^{n}$ with no arithmetic progression of length 3 must be of size at most $2.755^n$ (no prior upper bound was known of $(3-\epsilon)^n)$), and provide for any prime $p$ a value $\lambda_p
0$, such sets of size $e^{(\mu_p-\epsilon) n}$ exist for all sufficiently large $n$. The value of $\mu_p$ was left open, but a conjecture was stated which would imply that $e^{\mu_p}=\lambda_p$, i.e. the Ellenberg-Gijswijt bound is correct for the sum-free set problem.
The purpose of this note is to close that gap. The conjecture of Kleinberg, Sawin and Speyer is true, and the Ellenberg-Gijswijt bound is the correct exponent for the sum-free set problem.
期刊介绍:
Discrete Analysis is a mathematical journal that aims to publish articles that are analytical in flavour but that also have an impact on the study of discrete structures. The areas covered include (all or parts of) harmonic analysis, ergodic theory, topological dynamics, growth in groups, analytic number theory, additive combinatorics, combinatorial number theory, extremal and probabilistic combinatorics, combinatorial geometry, convexity, metric geometry, and theoretical computer science. As a rough guideline, we are looking for papers that are likely to be of genuine interest to the editors of the journal.
