Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma is a fundamental tool in extremal combinatorics. However, the original version is only helpful in studying dense graphs. In the 1990s, Kohayakawa and R\"odl proved an analogue of Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma…

We establish a version of the Furstenberg-Katznelson multi-dimensional Szemer\'edi in the primes ${\mathcal P} := \{2,3,5,\ldots\}$, which roughly speaking asserts that any dense subset of ${\mathcal P}^d$ contains constellations of any…

Motivated by questions asked by Erdos, we prove that any set $A\subset{\mathbb N}$ with positive upper density contains, for any $k\in{\mathbb N}$, a sumset $B_1+\cdots+B_k$, where $B_1,\dots,B_k\subset{\mathbb N}$ are infinite. Our proof…

We give a quintet of proofs resulting from questions posed by Erd\H{o}s. These questions concern ordinary lines in planar point sets, sequences with uniformly small exponential sums, $K_4$-free $4$-critical graphs with few chords in any…

A celebrated result of Gowers states that for every \epsilon > 0 there is a graph G so that every \epsilon-regular partition of G (in the sense of Szemeredi's regularity lemma) has order given by a tower of exponents of height polynomial in…

Let G be a finite Abelian group and A be a subset G\times G of cardinality at least |G|^2/(log log |G|)^c, where c>0 is an absolute constant. We prove that A contains a triple {(k,m), (k+d,m), (k,m+d)}, where d does not equal 0. This…

We establish the following quantitative form of the Green--Tao theorem: if a set $\mathcal{A}$ of relative density $\delta$ within the primes up to $N$ contains no nontrivial arithmetic progressions of length $k\geq 4$, then $\delta\ll…

We prove a quantitative version of the Polynomial Szemeredi Theorem for difference sets. This result is achieved by first establishing a higher dimensional analogue of a theorem of Sarkozy (the simplest non-trivial case of the Polynomial…

Szemeredi's regularity lemma can be viewed as a rough structure theorem for arbitrary dense graphs, decomposing such graphs into a structured piece (a partition into cells with edge densities), a small error (corresponding to irregular…

We examine the limiting behavior of multiple ergodic averages associated with arithmetic progressions whose differences are elements of a fixed integer sequence. For each $\ell$, we give necessary and sufficient conditions under which…

The main motivation for this article is to explore the connections between the existence of certain combinatorial patterns (as in van der Corputs's theorem on arithmetic progressions of length $3$) with well-known tools and theorems for…

Let $(X, \mathcal{B},\mu,T)$ be an ergodic measure preserving system, $A \in \mathcal{B}$ and $\epsilon>0$. We study the largeness of sets of the form \begin{equation*} \begin{split} S = \left\{ n\in\mathbb{N}\colon\mu(A\cap…

We establish a "diagonal" ergodic theorem involving the additive and multiplicative groups of a countable field $K$ and, with the help of a new variant of Furstenberg's correspondence principle, prove that any "large" set in $K$ contains…

In additive combinatorics, Erd\"{o}s-Szemer\'{e}di Conjecture is an important conjecture. It can be applied to many fields, such as number theory, harmonic analysis, incidence geometry, and so on. Additionally, its statement is quite easy…

For any fixed $d\geq1$ and subset $X$ of $\mathbb{N}^d$, let $r_X(n)$ be the maximum cardinality of a subset $A$ of $\{1,\dots,n\}^d$ which does not contain a subset of the form $\vec{b} + rX$ for $r>0$ and $\vec{b} \in \mathbb{R}^d$. Such…

Furstenberg and Glasner proved that for an arbitrary k in N, any piecewise syndetic set contains k term arithmetic progression and such collection is also piecewise syndetic in Z. They used algebraic structure of beta N. The above result…

We present some new sharp constructions for the Szemer\'{e}di-Trotter theorem. These constructions generalize previous work of Erd\H{o}s, Elekes, Sheffer and Silier, Guth and Silier, and the author. In the past, arguments showing the…

One of the "deepest" theorems in mathematics is Endre Szemer\'edi's theorem about the inevitability of arithmetical progressions. Here we try to nibble at it, by doing "finite" analogs. This is already interesting for its own sake, but we…

We introduce a family of maps generating continued fractions where the digit $1$ in the numerator is replaced cyclically by some given non-negative integers $(N_1,\ldots,N_m)$. We prove the convergence of the given algorithm, and study the…

We generalize the polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem to intersective polynomials over the ring of integers of an algebraic number field, by which we mean polynomials having a common root modulo every ideal. This leads to the existence of new…
