Polynomial dimension conjecture for multiplicatively invariant sets

From papers

Fix n,mNn,m\in\mathbb{N} and let

Δ(A,B)={an+bmaA,bB}\Delta(A,B)=\{a^n+b^m\mid a\in A,b\in B\}

for A,BN0A,B\subseteq\mathbb{N}_0. Let r,sNr,s\in\mathbb{N} be multiplicatively independent, and let A,BN0A,B\subseteq\mathbb{N}_0 be ×r\times r- and ×s\times s-invariant subsets, respectively. Polynomial dimension conjecture. One has

dimMΔ(A,B)=min(1ndimMA+1mdimMB,1).\dim_{\operatorname{M}}\Delta(A,B)=\min\left(\frac{1}{n}\dim_{\operatorname{M}} A+\frac{1}{m}\dim_{\operatorname{M}} B,1\right).

This is a special case of a natural polynomial extension of the dimension formula for sumsets of multiplicatively invariant sets. The conjecture was recently proved independently by Shmerkin and Wu.
