The shifted-product nonempty-interior conjecture for product sets

Let n3n\ge 3 and let ARA\subseteq \mathbb R be a Borel set. Write dimHA\dim_H A for the Hausdorff dimension of AA. Shifted-product nonempty-interior conjecture. For every n3n\ge 3, there exists εn>0\varepsilon_n>0 such that, if

dimHA>2nεn,\dim_H A>\frac{2}{n}-\varepsilon_n,

then there exist t1,,tnRt_1,\ldots,t_n\in\mathbb R such that

(t1+A)(t2+A)(tn+A)(t_1+A)(t_2+A)\cdots(t_n+A)

contains a nonempty open interval. This is expected to improve the direct threshold dimHA>2/n\dim_H A>2/n for Euclidean shifted-product projections, but the conjectured improvement remains open.
