We study thresholds for extremal properties of random discrete structures. We determine the threshold for Szemer\'edi's theorem on arithmetic progressions in random subsets of the integers and its multidimensional extensions and we…

In the present work the existence of some patterns of primes is shown which generalize the celebrated result of Green and Tao according to which there are arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions in the sequence of primes

We exhibit proofs of two ergodic-theoretic results in the study of multiple recurrence using an analog of the density-increment argument of Roth and Gowers: Furstenberg's Multiple Recurrence Theorem (which implies Szemer\'edi's Theorem),…

Inspired by the Erd\"os-Turan conjecture we consider subsets of the natural numbers that contains infinitely many aritmetic progressions (APs) of any given length - such sets will be called AP-sets and we know due to the Green-Tao Theorem…

In graph theory, the Szemer\'edi regularity lemma gives a decomposition of the indicator function for any graph $G$ into a structured component, a uniform part, and a small error. This result, in conjunction with a counting lemma that…

We study arithmetic progressions in primes with common differences as small as possible. Tao and Ziegler showed that, for any $k \geq 3$ and $N$ large, there exist non-trivial $k$-term arithmetic progressions in (any positive density subset…

Szemer\'edi's theorem implies that there are $2^{o(n)}$ subsets of $[n]$ which do not contain a $k$-term arithmetic progression. A sparse analogue of this statement was obtained by Balogh, Morris, and Samotij, using the hypergraph container…

A major theme in arithmetic combinatorics is proving multiple recurrence results on semigroups (such as Szemer\'edi's theorem) and this can often be done using methods of ergodic Ramsey theory. What usually lies at the heart of such proofs…

We prove that if two additive functions (from a certain class) take large values with roughly the same probability then they must be identical. This is a consequence of a structure theorem making clear the inter-relation between the…

According to a classical result of Szemer\'{e}di, every dense subset of $1,2,...,N$ contains an arbitrary long arithmetic progression, if $N$ is large enough. Its analogue in higher dimensions due to F\"urstenberg and Katznelson says that…

Many natural notions of additive and multiplicative largeness arise from results in Ramsey theory. In this paper, we explain the relationships between these notions for subsets of $\mathbb{N}$ and in more general ring-theoretic structures.…

We build a bridge from density combinatorics to dimension theory of continued fractions. We establish a fractal transference principle that transfers common properties of subsets of $\mathbb N$ with positive upper density to properties of…

Combining Freiman's theorem with Balog-Szemeredi-Gowers theorem one can show that if an additive set has large additive energy, then a large piece of the set is contained in a generalized arithmetic progression of small rank and size. In…

We completely characterize point--line configurations with $\Theta(n^{4/3})$ incidences when the point set is a section of the integer lattice. This can be seen as the main special case of the structural Szemer\'edi-Trotter problem. We also…

For sufficiently nice families of semigroups and monoids, the structure theorem for sets of length states that the length set of any sufficiently large element is an arithmetic sequence with some values omitted near the ends. In this paper,…

Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma is a basic tool in graph theory, and also plays an important role in additive combinatorics, most notably in proving Szemer\'edi's theorem on arithmetic progressions . In this note we revisit this lemma from…

Let $m\geq 3$. Suppose that $$ 1-2^{-2^{m^24^m}}<\gamma<1. $$ Then the set $$ \{p\text{ prime}:\, p=[n^{\frac1\gamma}]\text{ for some }n\in{\mathbb N}\} $$ contains infinitely many non-trivial $m$-term arithmetic progressions.
