Green's Open Problem 51: One Half

Suppose that AF2nA \subset \mathbb{F}_2^n has density α>1/2C/n\alpha > 1/2 - C/\sqrt{n}. Does A+AA + A contain a subspace of co-dimension OC(1)O_C(1)? [Sa11, Question 5.1]

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.
