Elsholtz–Rackham counting conjecture for higher-dimensional grids

Let [n]={1,,n}[n]=\{1,\dots,n\}, let [n]d[n]^d carry coordinatewise addition, and let kdk_d be the maximal volume of a region in the unit cube [0,1]d[0,1]^d bounded between a hyperplane HH and its dilate 2H2\cdot H.

Elsholtz–Rackham's higher-dimensional conjecture. The number of sum-free subsets of [n]d[n]^d is

2kdnd+Od(nd1).2^{k_dn^d+O_d(n^{d-1})}.

This extends the two-dimensional counting conjecture using the extremal constant kdk_d. The supplied text does not state a resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
