Erdős's reverse Littlewood–Offord conjecture
Erdős's reverse Littlewood–Offord conjecture
Let be unit complex numbers, and let . Erdős's conjecture. The number of sums
with
is greater than for some absolute constant . This conjecture is false as stated: taking an odd number of copies of and of makes every sum have norm at least , so the unit-radius claim cannot hold in general.
