We study some number-theoretic, ergodic and harmonic analysis properties of the Furstenberg set of integers $S=\{2^{m}3^{n}\}$ and compare them to those of its random analogue $T$. In this half-expository work, we show for example that $S$…

We show how different random thin sets of integers may have different behaviour. First, using a recent deviation inequality of Boucheron, Lugosi and Massart, we give a simpler proof of one of our results in {\sl Some new thin sets of…

We make quantitative improvements to recently obtained results on the structure of the image of a large difference set under certain quadratic forms and other homogeneous polynomials. Previous proofs used deep results of Benoist-Quint on…

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…

We obtain new bounds for (a variant of) the Furstenberg set problem for high dimensional flats over $\mathbb{R}^n$. In particular, let $F\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $1\leq k \leq n-1$, $s\in (0,k]$, and $t\in (0,k(n-k)]$. We say that $F$ is a…

A subset $R$ of integers is a set of Bohr recurrence if every rotation on $\mathbb{T}^d$ returns arbitrarily close to zero under some non-zero multiple of $R$. We show that the set $\{k!\, 2^m3^n\colon k,m,n\in \mathbb{N}\}$ is a set of…

In answer to a question raised recently by Bourgain and Lewko, we show, with their paper's terminology, that any uniformly bounded $\psi_2 (C)$-orthonormal system ($\psi_2 (C)$ is a variant of subGaussian)is 2-fold tensor Sidon. This…

This article covers three topics. (1) It establishes links between the density of certain subsets of the set of primes and related subsets of the set of natural numbers. (2) It extends previous results on a conjecture of Bruinier and Kohnen…

We develop a new technique that allows us to show in a unified way that many well-known combinatorial theorems, including Tur\'an's theorem, Szemer\'edi's theorem and Ramsey's theorem, hold almost surely inside sparse random sets. For…

We show any subset $A\subset\mathbb{N}$ with positive upper Banach density contains the pattern $\{m,m+[n\alpha],\dots,m+k[n\alpha]\}$, for some $m\in\mathbb{N}$ and $n=p-1$ for some prime $p$, where…

This paper discusses Tverberg-type theorems with coordinate constraints (i.e., versions of these theorems where all points lie within a subset $S \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and the intersection of convex hulls is required to have a non-empty…

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…

A set $S\subset \mathbb{N}$ is a Sidon set if all pairwise sums $s_1+s_2$ (for $s_1, s_2\in S$, $s_1\leq s_2$) are distinct. A set $S\subset \mathbb{N}$ is an asymptotic basis of order 3 if every sufficiently large integer $n$ can be…

An extension of Szemer\'edi's Theorem is proved for sets of positive density in approximate lattices in general locally compact and second countable abelian groups. As a consequence, we establish a recent conjecture of Klick, Strungaru and…

The first goal of this paper is to prove a sharp condition to guarantee of having a positive proportion of all congruence classes of triangles in given sets in $\mathbb{F}_q^2$. More precisely, for $A, B, C\subset \mathbb{F}_q^2$, if…

Assuming the well-known conjecture that [x,x+x^t] contains a prime for t > 0 and x sufficiently large, we prove: For 0 < r < 1, there exists 0 < s < r < 1, 0 < d < 1, and infinitely many primes q such that if S is a subset of Z/qZ having…

The 3x+1 Conjecture asserts that the T-orbit of every positive integer contains 1, where T maps x\mapsto x/2 for x even and x\mapsto (3x+1)/2 for x odd. A set S of positive integers is sufficient if the orbit of each positive integer…

We fully resolve the Furstenberg set conjecture in $\mathbb{R}^2$, that a $(s, t)$-Furstenberg set has Hausdorff dimension $\ge \min(s+t, \frac{3s+t}{2}, s+1)$. As a result, we obtain an analogue of Elekes' bound for the discretized…

Let x be a quadratic irrational and let P be the set of prime numbers. We show the existence of an infinite subset S of P such that the statistics of the period of the continued fraction expansions along the sequence {px: p\in S} approach…

We show that the Hausdorff dimension of $(s,t)$-Furstenberg sets is at least $s+t/2+\epsilon$, where $\epsilon>0$ depends only on $s$ and $t$. This improves the previously best known bound for $2s<t\le 1+\epsilon(s,t)$, in particular…
