Density bound conjecture for polynomial cube progressions

Let P1,,PsZ[x]P_1,\dots,P_s\in\mathbb{Z}[x] be linearly independent polynomials that vanish at zero. For ω{0,1}s\omega\in\{0,1\}^s, write ω=(ω1,,ωs)\omega=(\omega_1,\dots,\omega_s) and ωP(y)=i=1sωiPi(y)\omega\cdot P(y)=\sum_{i=1}^s\omega_iP_i(y). Polynomial progression density conjecture. If a subset AZ/NZA\subseteq\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z} lacks the progression

(x+ωP(y))ω{0,1}sωt(x+\omega\cdot P(y))_{\substack{\omega\in\{0,1\}^s\\|\omega|\le t}}

with yy nonzero, then

AO(NlogO(1)(N)).|A|\le O\left(\frac{N}{\log_{O(1)}(N)}\right).

This is stated as a corollary that would follow from the preceding conjectural estimate, giving a quantitative Szemerédi-type density bound for these polynomial patterns; it is not proved in the paper.
