Intersective sets for sparse sets of integers
Abstract
For , a subset is -intersective if for every having positive upper relative density, we have . On the other hand, is chromatically -intersective if for every finite partition , there exists such that . When , we recover the usual notions of intersectivity and chromatic intersectivity. In this article, we investigate to which extent known intersectivity results hold in the relative setting when , the set of primes, or other sparse subsets of . Among other things, we prove: -There exists an intersective set that is not -intersective. -However, every -intersective set is intersective. -There exists a chromatically -intersective set which is not intersective (and therefore not -intersective). -The set of shifted Chen primes is -intersective (and therefore intersective).
