The ideal product decomposition conjecture for finite simple groups

From papers

Let GG be a non-abelian finite simple group, and let S1,,SkS_1,\dots,S_k be subsets of GG. Ideal product decomposition conjecture. There exists cc such that, whenever

i=1kSiGc,\prod_{i=1}^k |S_i|\geqslant |G|^c,

there exist elements g1,,gkg_1,\dots,g_k such that

G=(S1)g1(Sk)gk.G=(S_1)^{g_1}\cdots(S_k)^{g_k}.

This conjecture would significantly generalize the Product Decomposition Conjecture of Liebeck, Nikolov and Shalev, and the authors state that it seems out of reach at present.
