Quasigroup formulation of the Brown–Erdős–Sós conjecture

About 13 years old · traced to

Let QQ be a quasigroup of order nn, with multiplication written multiplicatively, and let SS be a subset of triples of the form (a,b,ab)(a,b,ab) for a,b∈Qa,b\in Q. A subset of points spans a triple in SS when all three entries of that triple belong to the subset.

Quasigroup formulation of the Brown–Erdős–Sós conjecture. For every c>0c>0, there is a threshold n0n_0 such that if QQ has order n≥n0n\geq n_0, then for every such subset SS, whenever ∣S∣≥cn2|S|\geq cn^2, some seven-element subset of QQ spans at least four triples from SS.

The source states that this formulation is equivalent to the Brown–Erdős–Sós conjecture. It is the first open case of that conjecture, while the paper proves the assertion for finite groups.
