Green3.green_3

Suppose that A[0,1]A \subset [0,1] is open and has measure greater than 13\frac{1}{3}. Is there a solution to xy=zxy = z with x,y,zAx, y, z \in A?

Something wrong with this formalization?

A statement that does not faithfully capture the original conjecture is the one real risk here, so we would rather hear about it early - before someone spends weeks on it.
