Abstract

We prove the following conjecture of Shkredov and Solymosi: every subset AZ2A \subset \mathbf{Z}^2 such that aA{0}1/a2=+\sum_{a\in A\setminus\{0\}} 1/\left\|a\right\|^{2} = +\infty contains the three vertices of an isosceles right triangle. To do this, we adapt the proof of the recent breakthrough by Bloom and Sisask on sets without three-term arithmetic progressions, to handle more general equations of the form T1a1+T2a2+T3a3=0T_1a_1+T_2a_2+T_3a_3 = 0 in a finite abelian group GG, where the TiT_i's are automorphisms of GG.
