Arithmetic regularity as an alternative to transference

Sam Chow, Sean Prendiville, Santiago Vazquez

Since Green (2005), the Fourier-analytic transference principle has dominated the landscape of combinatorial theorems relative to sparse arithmetic sets. We demonstrate a different…

An inverse theorem for the Gowers -norm relative to quadratic level sets

Sean Prendiville

We prove an effective version of the inverse theorem for the Gowers -norm for functions supported on high-rank quadratic level sets in finite vector spaces. For configurations…

Bounds in a popular multidimensional nonlinear Roth theorem

Sarah Peluse, Sean Prendiville, Xuancheng Shao

A nonlinear version of Roth's theorem states that dense sets of integers contain configurations of the form , , . We obtain a multidimensional version of this result…

Extremal Sidon sets are Fourier uniform, with applications to partition regularity

Miquel Ortega, Sean Prendiville

Generalising results of Erdős-Freud and Lindström, we prove that the largest Sidon subset of a bounded interval of integers is equidistributed in Bohr neighbourhoods. We establish…

Solving equations in dense Sidon sets

Sean Prendiville

We offer an alternative proof of a result of Conlon, Fox, Sudakov and Zhao on solving translation-invariant linear equations in dense Sidon sets. Our proof generalises to equations…

The inverse theorem for the nonlinear Roth configuration: an exposition

Sean Prendiville

We give an exposition of the inverse theorem for the cut-norm associated to the nonlinear Roth configuration, established previously by Peluse and the author.

Counting monochromatic solutions to diagonal Diophantine equations

Sean Prendiville

We show how to adapt the Hardy--Littlewood circle method to count monochromatic solutions to diagonal Diophantine equations. This delivers a lower bound which is optimal up to abso…

A polylogarithmic bound in the nonlinear Roth theorem

Sarah Peluse, Sean Prendiville

We show that sets of integers lacking the configuration , , have at most polylogarithmic density.

On the Ramsey number of the Brauer configuration

Jonathan Chapman, Sean Prendiville

We obtain a double exponential bound in Brauer's generalisation of van der Waerden's theorem, which concerns progressions with the same colour as their common difference. Such a re…

Quantitative bounds in the nonlinear Roth theorem

Sarah Peluse, Sean Prendiville

We show that there exists such that any subset of of density at least contains a nontrivial progression of the form . This…

Rado's criterion over squares and higher powers

Sam Chow, Sofia Lindqvist, Sean Prendiville

We establish partition regularity of the generalised Pythagorean equation in five or more variables. Furthermore, we show how Rado's characterisation of a partition regular equatio…

A transference approach to a Roth-type theorem in the squares

Tim Browning, Sean Prendiville

We show that any subset of the squares of positive relative upper density contains non-trivial solutions to a translation-invariant linear equation in five or more variables, with…

Four variants of the Fourier-analytic transference principle

Sean Prendiville

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…

Quantitative bounds in the polynomial Szemerédi theorem: the homogeneous case

Sean Prendiville

We obtain quantitative bounds in the polynomial Szemerédi theorem of Bergelson and Leibman, provided the polynomials are homogeneous and of the same degree. Such configurations inc…

Improvements in Birch's theorem on forms in many variables

T. D. Browning, Sean Prendiville

We show that a non-singular integral form of degree d is soluble non-trivially over the integers if and only if it is soluble non-trivially over the reals and the p-adic numbers, p…

Near-optimal mean value estimates for multidimensional Weyl sums

Scott T. Parsell, Sean M. Prendiville, Trevor D. Wooley

We obtain sharp estimates for multidimensional generalisations of Vinogradov's mean value theorem for arbitrary translation-dilation invariant systems, achieving constraints on the…
