Brown–Graham–Landman conjecture on 2-large and large sets
Brown–Graham–Landman conjecture on 2-large and large sets
A set is large if it is a set of -topological recurrence for every , and it is 2-large if every 2-coloring of has arbitrarily large arithmetic progressions whose common difference lies in .
Brown–Graham–Landman conjecture. If is not a set of -nilBohr recurrence for some , then is not -large.
Brown, Graham, and Landman asked whether every 2-large set is large. The paper has constructed a set that is not large but meets every nil-Bohr set, and conjectures that such nil-Bohr recurrence is necessary for a counterexample to the 2-large versus large question.
