Abstract
We construct an -symmetric probability distribution on such that its marginal achieves the maximum entropy among all probability distributions on with mean . Existence of such a distribution verifies a conjecture of Kleinberg, Sawin and Speyer, which is motivated by the study of sum-free sets.
