Abstract
It is known that if a subset of has positive Lebesgue measure, then it contains arbitrarily long finite arithmetic progressions. We prove that this result does not extend to infinite arithmetic progressions in the following sense: for each in , we construct a subset of that intersects every interval of unit length in a set of measure at least , but that does not contain any infinite arithmetic progression.
