Green's Open Problem 32

Let pp be a prime and let AZ/pZA \subset \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z} be a set of size p\lfloor \sqrt{p} \rfloor. Is there a dilate of AA containing a gap of length 100p100\sqrt{p}?

Mathematical statement

Let pp be a prime and let AZ/pZA \subset \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z} be a set of size p\lfloor \sqrt{p} \rfloor. Is there a dilate of AA containing a gap of length 100p100\sqrt{p}?

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.
