Arithmetic structures in random sets

Abstract

We extend two well-known results in additive number theory, S\'ark\"ozy's theorem on square differences in dense sets and a theorem of Green on long arithmetic progressions in sumsets, to subsets of random sets of asymptotic density 0. Our proofs rely on a restriction-type Fourier analytic argument of Green and Green-Tao.
