Falgas–Ravry's flat-interval conjecture

Let T[(r);a]\mathrm{T}[(r);a] be the generalized Turán pattern with parameter rr and ambient edge multiplicity aa, and let Σs(T[(r);a])\Sigma_s(\mathrm{T}[(r);a]) denote its associated threshold. Falgas–Ravry's flat-interval conjecture. For every r,aZ1r,a\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1} and every s2r+1s\geq 2r+1,

exΠ(s,Σs(T[(r);a]))==exΠ(s,Σs(T[(r);a])+(s1)/r1).\operatorname{ex}_\Pi\bigl(s,\Sigma_s(\mathrm{T}[(r);a])\bigr)=\cdots=\operatorname{ex}_\Pi\bigl(s,\Sigma_s(\mathrm{T}[(r);a])+\lfloor (s-1)/r\rfloor-1\bigr).

In particular, for all 0t(s1)/r10\leq t\leq\lfloor (s-1)/r\rfloor-1,

exΠ(s,Σs(T[(r);a])+t)=a(a+1a)(r1)/r.\operatorname{ex}_\Pi\bigl(s,\Sigma_s(\mathrm{T}[(r);a])+t\bigr)=a\left(\frac{a+1}{a}\right)^{(r-1)/r}.

The conjecture predicts flat intervals of the multiplicative extremal function. The cited source presents it as an open conjecture; the surrounding paper gives supporting intuition but does not resolve it.
