Zhao–He conjecture that joint set systems attain the optimal joints bound

For positive integers k1,,kr,m1,,mrk_1,\ldots,k_r,m_1,\ldots,m_r, let Ck1,,kr;m1,,mrC_{k_1,\ldots,k_r;m_1,\ldots,m_r} be the optimal constant in the corresponding joints problem, and let Ck1,,kr;m1,,mrGC^G_{k_1,\ldots,k_r;m_1,\ldots,m_r} be the optimal constant restricted to generically induced joint set systems. Zhao–He conjecture. For all such positive integers,

Ck1,,kr;m1,,mrG=Ck1,,kr;m1,,mr.C^G_{k_1,\ldots,k_r;m_1,\ldots,m_r}=C_{k_1,\ldots,k_r;m_1,\ldots,m_r}.

This asserts that the set-theoretic generically induced model captures the exact optimal joints constant; the paper describes it as a weaker form of the broader conjecture and gives no resolution.
