Let ${\Bbb F}_2$ be the finite field of two elements, ${\Bbb F}_2^n$ be the vector space of dimension $n$ over ${\Bbb F}_2$. For sets $A,\,B\subseteq{\Bbb F}_2^n$, their sumset is defined as the set of all pairwise sums $a+b$ with $a\in…

Suppose that A is a subset of the integers {1,...,N} of density a. We provide a new proof of a result of Green which shows that A+A contains an arithmetic progression of length exp(ca(log N)^{1/2}) for some absolute c>0. Furthermore we…

We show that if A is a subset of F_2^n and |A+A| < K|A| then A is contained in a subspace of size at most 2^{O(K^{3/2}log K)}|A|. This improves on the previous best of 2^{O(K^2)}.

We show that any set $A$ in $\mathbb F_2^n$ with $|A+A| \le |A|^{2-\eta}$ must intersect a subspace of dimension $O_{\eta}(\log |A|)$ in at least $|A|^{\eta - o(1)}$ elements.

A subset $S$ of the Boolean hypercube $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ is a sumset if $S = A+A = \{a + b \ | \ a, b\in A\}$ for some $A \subseteq \mathbb{F}_2^n$. We prove that the number of sumsets in $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ is asymptotically…

In this paper we show that if $A$ is a subset of the primes with positive relative density $\delta$, then $A+A$ must have positive upper density $C_1\delta e^{-C_2(\log(1/\delta))^{2/3}(\log\log(1/\delta))^{1/3}}$ in $\mathbb{N}$. Our…

This note is motivated by the article of Bamerni, Kadets and Kili\c{c}man [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 435 (2), 1812--1815 (2016)]. We consider the remaining problem which claims that if $A$ is a dense subset of a finite dimensional space $X$,…

Let $\delta > 1/2$. We prove that if $A$ is a subset of the primes such that the relative density of $A$ in every reduced residue class is at least $\delta$, then almost all even integers can be written as the sum of two primes in $A$. The…

In this paper some links between the density of a set of integers and the density of its sumset, product set and set of subset sums are presented.

For a set $A \subset \mathbb{N}$ we characterize in terms of its density when there exists an infinite set $B \subset \mathbb{N}$ and $t \in \{0,1\}$ such that $B+B \subset A-t$, where $B+B : =\{b_1+b_2\colon b_1,b_2 \in B\}$. Specifically,…

In this paper we consider the isoperimetric problem with double density in an Euclidean space, that is, we study the minimisation of the perimeter among subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with fixed volume, where volume and perimeter are relative to…

We study the set of intersection sizes of a k-dimensional affine subspace and a point set of size m \in [0, 2^n] of the n-dimensional binary affine space AG(n,2). Following the theme of Erd\H{o}s, F\"uredi, Rothschild and T. S\'os, we…

Let G be a finite abelian group. We examine the discrepancy between subspaces of l^2(G) which are diagonalized in the standard basis and subspaces which are diagonalized in the dual Fourier basis. The general principle is that a Fourier…

Erd\H{o}s and Graham proposed to determine the number of subsets $S \subseteq \left\{1,2,\dots,n\right\}$ with $\sum_{s \in S} 1/s = 1$ and asked, among other things, whether that number could be as large as $2^{n - o(n)}$. We show that the…

In 1995 in Kourovka notebook the second author asked the following problem: it is true that for each partition $G=A_1\cup\dots\cup A_n$ of a group $G$ there is a cell $A_i$ of the partition such that $G=FA_iA_i^{-1}$ for some set $F\subset…

In this paper, we study a density version of the Waring-Goldbach problem. Suppose that A is a subset of the primes, and the lower density of A in the primes is larger than 1-1/2k. We prove that every sufficiently large natural number n…

In this paper, we study the linear structure of sets $A \subset \mathbb{F}_2^n$ with doubling constant $\sigma(A)<2$, where $\sigma(A):=\frac{|A+A|}{|A|}$. In particular, we show that $A$ is contained in a small affine subspace. We also…

We consider the problem of sums of dilates in groups of prime order. We show that given $A\subset \Z{p}$ of sufficiently small density then $$\big| \lambda_{1}A+\lambda_{2}A+...+ \lambda_{k}A \big|…

Let $\mathrm{d}(A)$ be the asymptotic density (if it exists) of a sequence of integers $A$. For any real numbers $0\leq\alpha\leq\beta\leq 1$, we solve the question of the existence of a sequence $A$ of positive integers such that…

We show that for every positive integer $k$ there are positive constants $C$ and $c$ such that if $A$ is a subset of $\{1, 2, \dots, n\}$ of size at least $C n^{1/k}$, then, for some $d \leq k-1$, the set of subset sums of $A$ contains a…
