Ben Green's Open Problem 31: Upper Eventually

Can we improve the upper bound N1/2+0.98183N1/4+O(1)N^{1/2} + 0.98183 N^{1/4} + O(1) [CHO25], for all sufficiently large NN?

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.
