Elementary abelian 2-group Lehmer constant conjecture

From papers

For an integer n2n\geqslant2, let Z ⁣/2n\mathbb{Z}_{\!/2}^n denote the direct sum of nn copies of the cyclic group Z ⁣/2\mathbb{Z}_{\!/2}. Let λ(Z ⁣/2n)\lambda(\mathbb{Z}_{\!/2}^n) denote its Lehmer constant. Elementary abelian 2-group Lehmer constant conjecture.

λ(Z ⁣/2n)=12nlog(2n1)\lambda(\mathbb{Z}_{\!/2}^n)=\frac1{2^n}\log(2^n-1)

for all n2n\geqslant2. The case n=2n=2 is established in the preceding example, where the value is 14log3\frac14\log3; further numerical work is presented as evidence for the asserted formula in every higher dimension.
