Jiang's higher-order union-closed families conjecture

Let F\mathcal{F} be a union-closed family of sets and let

n=U(F).n=|U(\mathcal{F})|.

Jiang's conjecture. For every positive integer knk\leq n, there exists a set SU(F)S\subseteq U(\mathcal{F}) with S=k|S|=k that is contained in at least

2kF2^{-k}|\mathcal{F}|

of the sets in F\mathcal{F}.

For k=1k=1 this reduces to Frankl's conjecture. The source attributes this generalization to Y. Jiang and provides no resolution of the full statement.
