Sums of positive density subsets of the primes

Kaisa Matomäki (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

We show that if A and B are subsets of the primes with positive relative lower densities α and β, then the lower density of A+B in the natural numbers is at least ( 1 - o ( 1 ) ) α / ( e γ l o g l o g ( 1 / β ) ) , which is asymptotically best possible. This improves results of Ramaré and Ruzsa and of Chipeniuk and Hamel. As in the latter work, the problem is reduced to a similar problem for subsets of * m using techniques of Green and Green-Tao. Concerning this new problem we show that, for any square-free m and any A , B * m of densities α and β, the...
