Ben Green's Open Problem 2

Let AZA \subset \mathbf{Z} be a set of nn integers. Is there a set SAS \subset A of size (logn)100(\log n)^{100} such that the restricted sumsetS+^SS \hat{+} S is disjoint from AA?

Mathematical statement

Statement artifacts, not proofs

These records expose exact Lean propositions and statement-only wrappers. Defining a proposition does not supply a proof of it. A placeholder-bearing target also contains no proof. Elaboration checks syntax and types; it does not certify that a formalization perfectly captures every nuance of the informal problem.
