Questions on the subject additive combinatorics, also known as arithmetic combinatorics, such as questions on: additive bases, sum sets, inverse sum set theorems, sets with small doubling, Sidon sets, Szemerédi's theorem and its ramifications, Gowers uniformity norms, etc. Often combined with the top-level tags nt.number-theory or co.combinatorics. Some additional tags are available for further specialization, including the tags sumsets and sidon-sets.

Nontrivial expansion in sumsets

Let $A \subset \mathbb{Z}/p$, let $f$ be a function on $\mathbb{Z}/p$ and let $B:=\{f(a): a \in A\}$. Can we conclude that $|A+B|$ is large if $f$ is a sufficiently "nice" function? For instance say …

Increasing sequences in polynomial progressions modulo p

In a random permutation on $n$ elements one expects the largest increasing and decreasing sequences to have size $(2+o(1))\sqrt{n}$. Is it known if this same property holds in sequences given by poly …

Is there any relationship between Szemerédi's theorem and Sunflower conjecture?

I do not know of a direct connection to Roth or Szemerédi over the integers. However, the paper N. Alon, A. Shpilka and C. Umans, On Sunflowers and Matrix Multiplication, 2012 IEEE 27th Conference o …

Instance of polynomial van der Waerden without good bounds

Isn't this paper the most up to date? I believe the introduction covers all of the relevant literature. "Proving a fully general quantitative polynomial Szemerédi theorem remains a very challenging o …

Primitive recursive bounds for multidimensional polynomial vdW / HJ

In Shelah's paper 679, he proves primitive recursive bounds for the polynomial Hales-Jewett theorem and thus for the polynomial van der Waerden theorem. How about for the multidimensional polynomial H …
