A Proof of Talagrand's Creating Large Sets Conjecture
Published 21 Nov 2025 in math.CO, cs.DM, and math.PR | (2511.17336v1)
Abstract: Talagrand conjectured that if a family of sets $\mathcal{F}$ over $X = { 1,2,\cdots, N }$ is of large measure, then constant times of unions of sets in $\mathcal{F}$ will cover a large portion of the power set of $X$. This conjecture is a central open problem at the intersection of combinatorics and probability theory, and was described by Talagrand as a personal favorite. This paper provides a proof confirming this conjecture.
