Odd-length linear equations are uncommon over the integers
Let be odd, and let . Consider the equation
Call the equation uncommon over the integers when there is a 2-coloring of with fewer monochromatic solutions than a uniformly random 2-coloring.
Odd-length uncommonness conjecture. The equation is uncommon over the integers.
The claim appears in the paper's further remarks as a plausible general statement; no resolution is supplied in the provided text, so it remains open in this record.
