On a coloring conjecture about unit fractions

Number Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We prove an old conjecture of Erd{\H o}s and Graham on sums of unit fractions: There exists a constant b>0b>0 such that if we rr-color the integers in 2,br]2,b^r], then there exists a monochromatic set SS such that nS1/n=1\sum_{n \in S} 1/n=1.
