Four variants of the Fourier-analytic transference principle
arXiv:1509.09200
Abstract
We survey four instances of the Fourier analytic 'transference principle' or 'dense model lemma', which allows one to approximate an unbounded function on the integers by a bounded function with similar Fourier transform. Such a result forms a component of a general method pioneered by Green to count solutions to a single linear equation in a sparse subset of integers.
