Pontiveros's conjecture on dense sets with incomplete sums of dilates
Pontiveros's conjecture on dense sets with incomplete sums of dilates
Let be a prime, let be a positive integer, and let be nonzero integers viewed in . For a set , write and let . Pontiveros's conjecture. There exists such that, for every sufficiently large prime , there is a set satisfying
and
The statement is refuted: the paper explicitly notes that its main theorem disproves it for and , and gives a further explicit counterexample with six pairwise distinct coefficients.
