Abstract

A sequence of integers {sn}nN \{ s_n \}_{n \in \mathbb{N}} is called a T-sequence if there exists a Hausdorff group topology on Z \mathbb{Z} such that {sn}nN \{ s_n \}_{n \in \mathbb{N}} converges to zero. For every finite set of primes S S we build a Hausdorff group topology on Z \mathbb{Z} such that every growing sequence of S S -integers converges to zero. As a corollary, we solve in the affirmative an open problem by I.V. Protasov and E.G. Zelenuk asking if {2n+3n}nN \{ 2^n + 3^n \}_{n \in \mathbb{N}} is a T-sequence. Our results rely on a nontrivial number-theoretic fact about S S -unit equations.
