Chen–Lev strengthened conjecture on explicit Hilbert-cube pairs

About 9 years old · traced to

Let CC and DD be different sets of nonnegative integers satisfying

C∪D=N,C\cup D=\mathbb N, C∩D=r+mN,C\cap D=r+m\mathbb N,

for integers r≥0r\ge0 and m≥2m\ge2, and let RC(n)R_C(n) and RD(n)R_D(n) denote their two-element representation functions.

Chen–Lev strengthened conjecture. If RC(n)=RD(n)R_C(n)=R_D(n) for every positive integer nn, then there exists an integer l≥1l\ge1 such that

C=H0(1,2,4,8,…,22l−1,22l−1,22l+1−1,2(22l+1−1),4(22l+1−1),8(22l+1−1),… ),C=H_0(1,2,4,8,\dots,2^{2l-1},2^{2l}-1,2^{2l+1}-1,2(2^{2l+1}-1),4(2^{2l+1}-1),8(2^{2l+1}-1),\dots), D=H1(1,2,4,8,…,22l−1,22l−1,22l+1−1,2(22l+1−1),4(22l+1−1),8(22l+1−1),… ).D=H_1(1,2,4,8,\dots,2^{2l-1},2^{2l}-1,2^{2l+1}-1,2(2^{2l+1}-1),4(2^{2l+1}-1),8(2^{2l+1}-1),\dots).

This is explicitly described as a stronger version of the Chen–Lev question and would identify the sets themselves, not only the parameters of their periodic intersection. The source supplies no resolution.
