Main Theorem #
The unconditional upper bound, combining relative expansion and balanced combinations with the proved Helly and flag-decomposition inputs.
Theorem 1.2 of D. Zakharov, Convex geometry and the ErdΕs--Ginzburg--Ziv problem:
π°(π½_p^d) = p * π΄(π½_p^d) + o(p) as p β β through primes, for every fixed
positive dimension d.
The polynomial bound and elementary lower estimate are discharged in
EGZ.Asymptotics. Relative expansion, balanced combinations, Helly, and
flag decomposition supply the unconditional upper bound.
Theorem 1.2 with exactly the relative expansion theorem and the
balanced-combination lemma as explicit inputs. The entire deduction,
including flag decomposition and Helly, is kernel checked without sorry.
The reusable implication when relative expansion is supplied explicitly.
