The Erdos-Turan conjecture on additive bases ★★★★

Author(s): Erdos; Turan

Let $ B \subseteq {\mathbb N} $. The representation function $ r_B : {\mathbb N} \rightarrow {\mathbb N} $ for $ B $ is given by the rule $ r_B(k) = \#\{ (i,j) \in B \times B : i + j = k \} $. We call $ B $ an additive basis if $ r_B $ is never $ 0 $.

Conjecture   If $ B $ is an additive basis, then $ r_B $ is unbounded.

The Alon-Tarsi basis conjecture ★★

Author(s): Alon; Linial; Meshulam

Conjecture   If $ B_1,B_2,\ldots B_p $ are invertible $ n \times n $ matrices with entries in $ {\mathbb Z}_p $ for a prime $ p $, then there is a $ n \times (p-1)n $ submatrix $ A $ of $ [B_1 B_2 \ldots B_p] $ so that $ A $ is an AT-base.

The additive basis conjecture ★★★

Author(s): Jaeger; Linial; Payan; Tarsi

Conjecture   For every prime $ p $, there is a constant $ c(p) $ (possibly $ c(p)=p $) so that the union (as multisets) of any $ c(p) $ bases of the vector space $ ({\mathbb Z}_p)^n $ contains an additive basis.
