Polynomial-scale density conjecture for ideal degree-three Prouhet–Tarry–Escott solutions
Let denote the number of nontrivial ideal degree-three Prouhet–Tarry–Escott solutions of size four and height at most , counted up to permutations within each multiset and interchange of the two multisets, with distinct integer translates counted separately.
Polynomial-scale density conjecture. The full counting function satisfies
Consequently, since the symmetric solutions satisfy
the symmetric locus accounts for the full solution space up to subpolynomial factors:
The conjecture predicts that the symmetric locus has the same height exponent as the full solution space, although its literal proportion may tend to zero.
