The affine type C difference-set conjecture

Let VC=(Z/(2n+1)Z)nV_C=\left(\mathbb{Z}/(2n+1)\mathbb{Z}\right)^n and let Cn\mathcal{C}_n be the subset defined in the paper from the affine type C residue conditions. Affine type C difference-set conjecture. For any integer n1n\geq1,

CnCn=VC=(Z/(2n+1)Z)n.\mathcal{C}_n-\mathcal{C}_n=V_C=\left(\mathbb{Z}/(2n+1)\mathbb{Z}\right)^n.

This sumset equality would imply universality of the entropy on the affine Weyl group of type C; it is supported by computational experiments and remains open in general.
