Density regularity of {x,x+y,xy} in the integers
Abstract
Fix k,s∈ℕ. We prove that there exists a subadditive density on ℕ such that, for every polynomial P∈ℤ[y] of degree k and with P(0)=0, every set of positive density contains configurations {x,x+P(y),xys} for arbitrarily large x>y≥ 2. This provides a density strengthening of Moreira's result on partition regularity for {x,x+y,xy}.

We prove that there exists a subadditive density on ℕ such that, for every polynomial P∈ℤ[y] of degree k and with P(0)=0, every set of positive density contains configurations {x,x+P(y),xy^s} for arbitrarily large x>y≥ 2. This provides a density strengthening of Moreira's result on partition regularity for {x,x+y,xy}.
