Conlon–Lim's Brunn–Minkowski conjecture for discrete linear sumsets

Let d,k4inNd,k4in\mathbb{N} and let L1,,LkMatd(Z)\mathcal{L}_1,\dots,\mathcal{L}_k\in\operatorname{Mat}_d(\mathbb{Z}) be irreducible and coprime. Let AZdA\subseteq\mathbb{Z}^d be finite and non-empty. Here, irreducibility means that there are no non-trivial subspaces U,VQdU,V\subseteq\mathbb{Q}^d of the same dimension such that Li(U)V\mathcal{L}_i(U)\subseteq V for every 1ik1\leq i\leq k, while coprimality means that no P,RGLd(Q)\mathcal{P},\mathcal{R}\in\operatorname{GL}_d(\mathbb{Q}) satisfy 0<det(P)det(R)<10<|\det(\mathcal{P})\det(\mathcal{R})|<1 and PL1R,,PLkRMatd(Z)\mathcal{P}\mathcal{L}_1\mathcal{R},\dots,\mathcal{P}\mathcal{L}_k\mathcal{R}\in\operatorname{Mat}_d(\mathbb{Z}). Conlon–Lim's conjecture. One has

L1(A)++Lk(A)(det(L1)1/d++det(Lk)1/d)dAo(A).|\mathcal{L}_1(A)+\dots+\mathcal{L}_k(A)|\geq\left(\det(\mathcal{L}_1)^{1/d}+\dots+\det(\mathcal{L}_k)^{1/d}\right)^d|A|-o(|A|).

This conjecture proposes a Brunn–Minkowski-type lower bound for discrete sumsets generated by irreducible, coprime integer linear maps; the source presents it as a conjecture from Conlon–Lim and gives no resolution.
