Conjectured classification of Erdős-deep triples of arithmetic progressions
Let be the cyclic group of integers modulo . An Erdős-deep family is a family whose distance multiset has multiplicities precisely for some integer . Let three arithmetic progressions in have lengths . Classification conjecture. An Erdős-deep family of three arithmetic progressions of these lengths exists if and only if either
with each of these two length triples occurring for infinitely many values of , or
with each of these length triples occurring for a finite number of values of . The conjecture would complete the classification of Erdős-deep triples of arithmetic progressions; the paper reports that it is based on a computer search of small parameters, while the cases of two progressions have already been classified.
