Finitary Khintchine-type recurrence conjecture for finite abelian groups

From papers

Let GG be a finite abelian group of order NN, let End(G)\textup{End}(G) denote its endomorphism ring, and let AGA\subseteq G. For α,ε>0\alpha,\varepsilon>0, write N0=N0(α,ε)N_0=N_0(\alpha,\varepsilon) for a threshold depending only on these parameters. Finitary recurrence conjecture. For every α,ε>0\alpha,\varepsilon>0, there exists N0=N0(α,ε)N_0=N_0(\alpha,\varepsilon) such that, whenever NN0N\geq N_0, φ,ψEnd(G)\varphi,\psi\in\textup{End}(G) satisfy that ψφ\psi-\varphi is an automorphism, and AαN|A|\geq\alpha N, there exists yG{0}y\in G\setminus\{0\} such that

{xG:{x,x+φ(y),x+ψ(y)}A}>(α3ε)N.\left|\left\{x\in G:\{x,x+\varphi(y),x+\psi(y)\}\subseteq A\right\}\right|>(\alpha^3-\varepsilon)N.

This is the proposed finitary analogue of the infinite-group recurrence result, which gives syndetically many parameters with almost the expected density of three-term configurations. Its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
