| Mar 31, 2012 at 3:29 | comment | added | Terry Tao | The order of quantifiers in Erdos's statement seems clear enough; since it refers to "une progression" rather than "la progression", it asks for uniformity over progressions. | |

| Mar 31, 2012 at 3:05 | comment | added | Mark Lewko | Just to recap: I was aware that both Rudin's and Erdos' problems required uniformity in $a$ and $b$. My question was basically "I don't understand how Uchiyama's argument gives uniformity in $a$." The answer turns out to be: "it doesn't." The statement (in french) of Erdos' problem can be found in bolyai.math-inst.hu/~p_erdos/1963-14.pdf (problem 16). It seems to not be completely clear on the uniformity issue (although its hard to imagine that it never occurred to the author or referee that Erdos was asking for a uniform estimate). | |
