Abstract

We investigate polynomial patterns which can be guaranteed to appear in \emph{weakly mixing} sets introduced by introduced by Furstenberg and studied by Fish. In particular, we prove that if ANA \subset \mathbb N is a weakly mixing set and p(x)Z[x]p(x) \in \mathbb Z[x] a polynomial of odd degree with positive leading coefficient, then all sufficiently large integers NN can be represented as N=n1+n2N = n_1 + n_2, where p(n1)+m, p(n2)+mAp(n_1) + m,\ p(n_2) + m \in A for some mAm \in A.
