Green–Konyagin–Littlewood conjecture for the Fourier algebra norm

About 20 years old · traced to

Let pp be a prime number and let A⊂Z/pZA\subset\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z} have density bounded away from 00 and 11 by an absolute constant. Green–Konyagin–Littlewood conjecture. Then

∥χA∥A(Z/pZ)≫log⁡p.\|\chi_A\|_{A(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})}\gg\log p.

This strengthens the lower bound proved by Green and Konyagin, replacing an order of (log⁡p/log⁡log⁡p)1/3(\log p/\log\log p)^{1/3} with the conjectured logarithmic growth. The source presents the claim as a conjecture and gives no resolution.
