Elementary Proof of Basis of Order k

If $B$ is a basis of order $k$ such that every integer $n$ can be written as a sum of $k$ elements from $B$ in $\asymp n^{o(1)}$ ways, then a simple counting argument yields $|B \cap [1 , X]| \asymp X …

Sets of unit fractions with sum $\leq 1$

Let $R > 1$ and $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ be such that $$ \int_{1}^R \mathrm{tanh}(\frac{\lambda x}{2}) \frac{d x}{x} = \log R -2. $$ Then standard techniques in large deviation theory yield $$ \frac{ …

A reference for this possibly well-known fact concerning the Kakeya conjecture?

I believe I have read or heard somewhere that the Kakeya conjecture would follow from appropriate lower bounds for the minimal size of a subset of $\{ 1 , \cdots , N\}$ which contains a translate of e …
