Solymosi's affine-cube conjecture for squares

About 20 years old · traced to

An affine cube of dimension dd in Z\mathbb Z is a set

{b0+∑i∈Ibi:I⊂{1,…,d}},\left\{b_0+\sum_{i\in I}b_i:I\subset\{1,\ldots,d\}\right\},

where b0,…,bdb_0,\ldots,b_d are nonzero integers. Solymosi's conjecture. There exists an integer d>0d>0 such that no affine cube of dimension dd consists of distinct squares. The source explains that this follows from the Bombieri--Lang conjecture, but is not known unconditionally.
