Erdős and Graham's sparse admissible-set conjecture
Erdős and Graham's sparse admissible-set conjecture
Let be admissible if there is no prime such that contains at least one element in every residue class modulo . Erdős and Graham's conjecture. There is a non-decreasing, unbounded function such that, whenever is admissible and
for all , there exists such that is contained in the positive primes. Erdős and Graham asked whether sufficiently sparse infinite admissible sets must have a translate contained in the primes. The conjecture is false: the paper constructs arbitrarily sparse infinite admissible sets with no such translate.
