Suppose that G is an abelian group and A is a finite subset of G containing no three-term arithmetic progressions. We show that |A+A| >> |A|(log |A|)^{1/3-\epsilon} for all \epsilon>0.

We prove new lower bounds on the maximum size of subsets $A\subseteq \{1,\dots,N\}$ or $A\subseteq \mathbb{F}_p^n$ not containing three-term arithmetic progressions. In the setting of $\{1,\dots,N\}$, this is the first improvement upon a…

A survey of three recent developments in algebraic combinatorics: (1) the Laurent phenomenon, (2) Gromov-Witten invariants and toric Schur functions, and (3) toric h-vectors and intersection cohomology. This paper is a continuation of…

We improve the quantitative estimate for Roth's theorem on three-term arithmetic progressions, showing that if $A\subset\{1,\ldots,N\}$ contains no non-trivial three-term arithmetic progressions then $\lvert A\rvert\ll N(\log\log N)^4/\log…

Ellenberg and Gijswijt gave the best known asymptotic upper bound for the cardinality of subsets of $\mathbb F_q^n$ without 3-term arithmetic progressions. We improve this bound by a factor $\sqrt{n}$. In the case $q=3$, we also obtain more…

In the present work we prove a number of surprising results about gaps between consecutive primes and arithmetic progressions in the sequence of generalized twin primes which could not have been proven without the recent fantastic…

Let a be a real number between 0 and 1. Ernie Croot showed that the quantity \max_A #(3-term arithmetic progressions in A)/p^2, where A ranges over all subsets of Z/pZ of size at most a*p, tends to a limit as p tends to infinity through…

We prove that if $A\subseteq \{1,\dots,N\}$ does not contain any non-trivial three-term arithmetic progression, then $$|A|\ll \frac{(\log\log N)^{3+o(1)}}{\log N}N\,.$$

Ellenberg and Gijswijt gave recently a new exponential upper bound for the size of three-term arithmetic progression free sets in $({\mathbb Z_p})^n$, where $p$ is a prime. Petrov summarized their method and generalized their result to…

Furstenberg, Glasscock, Bergelson, Beiglboeck have been studied abundance in arithmatic progression on various large sets like piecewise syndetic, central, thick, etc. but also there are so many sets in which abundance in progression is…

The problem of looking for subsets of the natural numbers which contain no 3-term arithmetic progressions has a rich history. Roth's theorem famously shows that any such subset cannot have positive upper density. In contrast, Rankin in 1960…

Let $G$ be a finite Abelian group. For a subset $S \subseteq G$, let $T_3(S)$ denote the number of length three arithemtic progressions in $S$ and Prob[$S$] $= \frac{1}{|S|^2}\sum_{x,y \in S} 1_S(x+y)$. For any $q \ge 1$ and $\alpha \in…

This report discusses the improved bound of the cluster expansion, recently proposed by Procacci and Yuhjtman (Lett. Math. Phys. 107, 31, 2017). Brydges and Helmuth noticed the relevance of Kruskal's algorithm, which allows to streamline…

Let $F(t),G(t)\in \mathbb{Q}(t)$ be rational functions such that $F(t),G(t)$ and the constant function $1$ are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of the three term rational function…

We provide a short proof of a recent result of Elkin in which large subsets of the integers 1 up to N free of 3-term progressions are constructed.

In this paper we investigate the recent advances by Zhang, Maynard and Pintz towards Polignac's conjecture and give some new results concerning the relationship between Polignac numbers and arithmetic progressions.

Let $N$ be a large prime and $P, Q \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ two linearly independent polynomials with $P(0) = Q(0) = 0$. We show that if a subset $A$ of $\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$ lacks a progression of the form $(x, x + P(y), x + Q(y), x + P(y) +…

We survey results on the formalization and independence of mathematical statements related to major open problems in computational complexity theory. Our primary focus is on recent findings concerning the (un)provability of complexity…

We show that subsets of $\mathbb{F}_q^{\infty}$ of large Fourier dimension must contain three-term arithmetic progressions. This contrasts with a construction of Shmerkin of a subset of $\mathbb{R}$ of Fourier dimension $1$ with no…

A simultaneous arithmetic progression (s.a.p.) of length k consists of k points (x_i, y_\sigma(i)), where x_i and y_i are arithmetic progressions and \sigma is a permutation. Garcia-Selfa and Tornero asked whether there is a bound on the…
