Erdős problem 512

Is it true that, if AZA\subset \mathbb{Z} is a finite set of size NN, then 01nAe(nθ)dθlogN,\int_0^1 \left\lvert \sum_{n\in A}e(n\theta)\right\rvert \mathrm{d}\theta \gg \log N, where e(x)=e2πixe(x)=e^{2\pi ix }?

Littlewood's conjecture, proved independently by Konyagin [Ko81] and McGehee, Pigno, and Smith [MPS81].

The proof uses `sorry`: part of the argument is written but not proved. Lean accepts the file; it does not accept the theorem.
