Achievability of symmetric capacity via equal-amplitude diagonal entries

Let K2K\geq 2 and let PP denote the common SNR of a symmetric KK-user Gaussian multiple access channel. For real numbers β2,,βK\beta_2,\ldots,\beta_K satisfying βk1|\beta_k|\geq 1, let L~\tilde{L} be the matrix defined in the source. The condition of equal-amplitude diagonal entries is

L~kk=L~jjfor all k,j.|\tilde{L}_{kk}|=|\tilde{L}_{jj}|\quad\text{for all }k,j.

Achievability conjecture. There exists a positive number P(K)P^*(K) such that, for every PP(K)P\geq P^*(K), one can choose real numbers β2,,βK\beta_2,\ldots,\beta_K with βk1|\beta_k|\geq 1 so that the diagonal entries of L~\tilde{L} have equal amplitude.

The equal-amplitude condition is the condition used in the paper to achieve the symmetric capacity. The preceding discussion notes that the two-user case requires P1.5P\geq 1.5, while the general threshold is not determined in the source.
