Authored summary

An explicit 30-set supplies the lower endpoint. Exact incidence counting in the progression design gives the upper endpoint.

Executable material is recorded. Successful replay is a separate check.

Recorded status: open

Recorded scope: subsets of Z/101Z containing no four distinct terms x, x+d, x+2d, x+3d with d nonzero

2Authored explanation

Write \(\alpha(101,4)\) for the requested maximum. The independently replayed bounds are \[ \boxed{30\leq\alpha(101,4)\leq67}. \] The lower bound is witnessed by \[ \{0,10,18,23,27,29,35,37,39,40,45,47,48,49,56,61,65,68,69,70,72,76,78,79,84,85,87,91,93,95\}. \] The executable artifact generates all 5,050 distinct modular four-term progressions and checks that none lies inside this set.

For the upper bound, let \(H\) be the four-uniform progression hypergraph. Every vertex lies in 200 edges, and every unordered pair lies in six edges. If \(A\) is independent and \(j_E=|A\cap E|\), then \(j_E\leq3\). Double-counting selected pairs and selected vertex-edge incidences gives \[ 6\binom{|A|}{2}=\sum_E\binom{j_E}{2}\leq\sum_Ej_E=200|A|. \] For positive \(|A|\), this yields \(3(|A|-1)\leq200\), hence \(|A|\leq67\). The exact value remains open within this record.
