Abstract

A subset AA of the kk-dimensional grid {1,2,,N}k\{1,2, \cdots, N\}^k is called kk-dimensional corner-free if it does not contain a set of points of the form {a}{a+dei:1ik}\{ a \} \cup \{ a + de_i : 1 \leq i \leq k \} for some a{1,2,,N}ka \in \{1,2, \cdots, N\}^k and d>0d > 0, where e1,e2,,eke_1,e_2, \cdots, e_k is the standard basis of Rk\mathbb{R}^k. We define the maximum size of a kk-dimensional corner-free subset of {1,2,,N}k\{1,2, \cdots, N\}^k by ck(N)c_k(N). In this paper, we show that the number of kk-dimensional corner-free subsets of the kk-dimensional grid {1,2,,N}k\{1,2, \cdots, N\}^k is at most 2O(ck(N))2^{O(c_k(N))} for infinitely many values of NN. Our main tool for the proof is a supersaturation result for kk-dimensional corners in sets of size Θ(ck(N))\Theta(c_k(N)) and the hypergraph container method.
