Finite powers of small strong measure zero sets

About 22 years old · traced to

Let XX be a set of reals with strong measure zero, and suppose that ∣X∣<b|X|<\mathfrak{b}, where b\mathfrak{b} is the bounding number. A finite power of XX is a Cartesian product XnX^n for some positive integer nn. Finite-power strong measure zero conjecture. Every finite power XnX^n has strong measure zero; equivalently, every finite power satisfies

S1(O,O).\mathsf{S}_1(\mathcal{O},\mathcal{O}).

This would provide the finite-power property needed in the surrounding discussion of the Gerlitz–Nagy covering property and Borel Conjectures. The source presents this as a statement that needs to be proved, and no resolution is supplied here.
