Let A⊆NA\subseteq \mathbb{N} be an infinite arithmetic progression and f:A→{−1,1}f:A\to \{-1,1\} be a non-constant function. Must there exist a finite non-empty S⊂AS\subset A such that ∑n∈Sf(n)n=0?\sum_{n\in S}\frac{f(n)}{n}=0? What about if AA is an arbitrary set of positive density? What if AA is the set of squares excluding 11?
