Given a set of positive measure on the circle and a set Λ of integers, one can ask whether $E\left(\Lambda \right):=e_{\lambda \in \Lambda }^{i\lambda t}$ is a Riesz sequence in L²(). We consider this question in connection with some arithmetic properties of the set Λ. Improving a result of Bownik and Speegle (2006), we construct a set such that E(Λ) is never a Riesz sequence if Λ contains an arithmetic progression of length N and step $\ell =O\left(N^{1-\epsilon }\right)$ with N arbitrarily large. On the other hand, we prove that every set admits a Riesz sequence E(Λ) such that Λ does contain...
