Nilsequence approximation conjecture for 3-term progression dual functions
Nilsequence approximation conjecture for 3-term progression dual functions
For , define the dual function counting normalized 3-term arithmetic progressions with common difference by
A 2-step nilsequence is understood in the sense of the paper, and its complexity is measured as in the paper. Nilsequence approximation conjecture. For every , there exists a set of 2-step nilsequences of complexity such that, for every , there are coefficients and an error function satisfying
and
The conjecture seeks a uniform nilsequence model for the functions governing 3-term progressions with restricted common differences, analogous to the role of Fourier analysis for 2-term progressions. The source relates it to Problem 1 of Frantzikinakis and uses it as a proposed route toward the random-difference problem; no resolution is supplied.
