Asymptotic conjecture for s-distance sets in Johnson spaces

From papers

Let Jn,w\mathcal{J}^{n,w} be the Johnson space of ww-subsets of an nn-element set, and let A(Jn,w,s)A(\mathcal{J}^{n,w},s) denote the maximum size of an ss-distance set in this space. Johnson-space asymptotic conjecture. For all integers w>s>0w>s>0 and sufficiently large nn, with the threshold allowed to depend on ww and ss,

A(Jn,w,s)=(nw+ss).A(\mathcal{J}^{n,w},s)=\binom{n-w+s}{s}.

This conjecture proposes the eventual exact value of the largest ss-distance sets in Johnson spaces. The source presents it as a general conjecture based on the paper's exact results and known bounds; no resolution is given.
