The Largest Sum-Free Subset of the Lattice Cube

How dense can a sum-free subset of the lattice cube $\{1,\dots,n\}^d$ be? Aydinian and Cameron asked for the limiting density, which is also Problem 6 in Ben Green's list of 100 open problems. The natural conjecture is that the optimum is a slice $\{x : 1 \le L(x) < 2\}$ for a linear map $L$, previously known only for $d \le 4$. Proved for all $d$. The paper also shows the same phenomenon fails if the cube is replaced by an arbitrary convex set avoiding the origin.
