Ben Green's Open Problem 31: Zmod P

It is not known whether or not there exists a Sidon subset of Z/pZ\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z} of size (1+o(1))p(1 + o(1))\sqrt{p}, for all pp [Gr24].

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.
