On density analogs of Hindman's finite sums theorem
Abstract
For any set of natural numbers with positive upper Banach density, we show the existence of an infinite set and sequences of natural numbers such that , for every . This strengthens the density finite sums theorem of Kra, Moreira, Richter, and Robertson. We further show, given such a set , the existence of an infinite set and a sequence of natural numbers such that , for every . As a corollary, we obtain a sequence of infinite sets of natural numbers such that , for every . We also establish the optimality of our main theorems by providing counterexamples to potential further generalizations, and thereby addressing questions of the aforementioned authors in the context of density analogs to Hindman's finite sums theorem.
