The classification conjecture for tuples with the Khintchine property

Let pp be a prime, let k<pk<p, and let c0,,ckc_0,\ldots,c_k be distinct elements of Fp\mathbb{F}_p. A tuple has the Khintchine property when it satisfies the recurrence property defined in the paper. Classification conjecture.

  1. If k>3k>3, then (c0,,ck)(c_0,\ldots,c_k) does not have the Khintchine property.
  2. If k=3k=3 and (c0,c1,c2,c3)(c_0,c_1,c_2,c_3) does not form a parallelogram, then (c0,c1,c2,c3)(c_0,c_1,c_2,c_3) does not have the Khintchine property.

The preceding results establish the Khintchine property for the indicated double-recurrence tuples and for triple-recurrence tuples forming a parallelogram; this conjecture asserts that these are all the possible cases.
