Threefold product-of-sums growth conjecture

At least 11 years old · documented by

Let A⊂RA\subset\mathbb{R} be a finite set. Write

A+A:={a+b:a,b∈A}.A+A:=\{a+b:a,b\in A\}.

Threefold product-of-sums conjecture. For every ϵ>0\epsilon>0,

∣(A+A)(A+A)(A+A)∣≫∣A∣3−ϵ.|(A+A)(A+A)(A+A)|\gg |A|^{3-\epsilon}.

The source presents this as a stronger estimate using fewer variables than the preceding bound, which includes a threefold sum of products and is bounded below by a quantity of order ∣A∣3/log⁡∣A∣|A|^3/\log|A|. The conjecture remains unresolved in the source.
