Roth's Theorem with Random Common Differences
Let $S \subset \mathbb{N}$ be random. Under what conditions is Roth's theorem for progressions of length 3 true with common differences in $S$?...
Progressions with Structured Common Differences
Find reasonable bounds for the maximal density of a set $A \subset \{1, \ldots, N\}$ not containing a 3-term progression with common difference a squa...
Lipschitz AP-Free Graphs
Does there exist a Lipschitz function $f : \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{Z}$ whose graph $\Gamma = \{(n, f(n)) : n \in \mathbb{Z}\} \subset \mathbb{Z}^2$ is ...
Linear Equation x + 3y = 2z + 2w

Monochromatic x+y and xy
If $\{1, \dots, N\}$ is $r$-coloured, then for $N \geq N_0(r)$ there exist integers $x, y \geq 3$ such that $x+y$ and $xy$ have the same colour. Find ...
Affine Translates of {0,1,3}

Large Gaps in Dilates
Let $p$ be a prime and let $A \subset \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ be a set of size $\sqrt{p}$. Is there a dilate of $A$ with a gap of length $100\sqrt{p}$...
Structure of Sets with Bounded Representation
