Fan–Sun amended Loneliness Spectrum Conjecture

For a positive-integer speed set VV, let κ(V)\kappa(V) denote its gap of loneliness, and let n=Vn=|V|. Amended Loneliness Spectrum Conjecture. For every nNn\in\mathbb{N} and every nn-set VV of positive integers, either

κ(V)=ssn+kfor some s,kN,\kappa(V)=\frac{s}{sn+k}\quad\text{for some }s,k\in\mathbb{N},

or

κ(V)1n.\kappa(V)\geq\frac{1}{n}.

This is a weakening proposed by Fan and Sun after Kravitz's original spectrum conjecture was disproved for n=4n=4 (and similarly for n=6n=6). The source presents it as an open conjecture.
