[#R473] The constant lies between 1/6 and 3/16
claim. A three-translate argument gives the universal lower bound, while an eight-cell union gives the upper bound.
1Summary
For \[ R_A(t)=\mu(A\cap(A+t)), \qquad M(A)=\sup_{1/4\leq t\leq1/2}R_A(t), \] the two certified bounds are \[ \frac16\leq C=\inf_{\mu(A)=1/2}M(A)\leq\frac3{16}. \] The lower bound follows already at \(t=1/3\). The upper bound is attained by the displayed 16-cell set in `lshac-claim-sixteen-cell-upper-bound`. Their gap is \[ \frac3{16}-\frac16=\frac1{48}. \] This falls short of the candidate's requested \(10^{-8}\) gap. The exact value remains unresolved in this entry.
Supported evidence. Recorded scope: all measurable half-measure subsets of the circle and the explicit 16-cell construction.
