Description

### What is the conjecture
https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/greenbj/papers/open-problems.pdf#problem.17

Suppose that $A \subset F^n_3$ is a set of density $\alpha$. Under what conditions on $\alpha$ is $A$ guaranteed to contain a 3-term progression with nonzero common difference in $\\{0,1\\}^n$? For fixed $\alpha$, must $A$ contain $≫_α 6^n$ such progressions?

### [AMS categories](https://github.com/google-deepmind/formal-conjectures/labels?q=ams-)

### Choose either option
