Generalized Sidon-set existence conjecture for perfect powers

About 6 years old · traced to

Let k≥1k\geq 1, h≥2h\geq 2, and ε>0\varepsilon>0. A Bh[g]B_h[g] set A⊆(Z+)kA\subseteq(\mathbb{Z}^{+})^k is a set of kk-th powers with counting function A(x)A(x). Generalized Sidon-set conjecture. For every k≥1k\geq 1, h≥2h\geq 2, and ε>0\varepsilon>0, there exists a Bh[g]B_h[g] set A⊆(Z+)kA\subseteq(\mathbb{Z}^{+})^k such that

A(x)≫xmin⁡{1k,1h}−ε.A(x)\gg x^{\min\left\{\frac{1}{k},\frac{1}{h}\right\}-\varepsilon}.

The exponent is optimal up to the factor x−εx^{-\varepsilon} because every such set satisfies A(x)≪xmin⁡{1/k,1/h}A(x)\ll x^{\min\{1/k,1/h\}}. The conjecture was proved for k=1k=1 and all h≥2h\geq2, and the cited results also imply the case k=h=2k=h=2; the general assertion remains unresolved in the source.
